Carnival of Drinking #2
May 16, 2006 – 12:12 amI am hosting the second edition of the Carnival of Drinking here at The Bottom Shelf. Michael hosted the first edition of the Carnival over at Days That End In “Y” a couple of weeks ago.
There were three submissions this week. The first one is from Kehaar over at Fishin’, Drinkin’ & Stinkin’. He presents a case for the worst beer he has ever had. I found it a little surprising. You may not. And don’t forget to check out the comment thread accompanying the post; it’s a good one.
Michael at Days That End In “Y” and I both chose local drinks to examine. Michael looks at an interesting Boston-based drink known as the Ward 8. He gives an interesting and fairly detailed history of the drink and adds a nice-looking picture of the final product for good measure. Michael recently received his bartender’s certification, and the Carnival seems to be a good place to flex this newly certified drink mixing muscle.
I wrote about the Trumer Pils, an Old World pilsner brewed in nearby Berkeley, California. Okay, Berkeley is about 400 miles from where I am, but it’s close enough. And it left a very positive impression on me.
The next edition of the Carnival of Drinking is scheduled for May 29, and it’s going to be hosted over at Boston Cocktails. Check ‘em out, and keep your eyes open for the next Carnival of Drinking.
