A Beverage-based Blog
   

       

Hi, this is a blog I put together quickly so that my girlfriend and I could post our thoughts on some of the things we drink. Right now, this is heavily centred around alcoholic beverages, but it might some day even encompass other beverages we enjoy, such as tea and coffee. Of course, the opinions expressed here are our own and may very significantly differ from yours (it's all a matter of taste, isn't it?), but, whether you agree or disagree with us, I hope it will be useful in some way, if only to introduce you to drinks or brands you didn't know existed. If you should have any comment on what you read here, please feel free to drop me a note at smassy at sdf dot lonestar dot org.

For context's sake, know that we are currently living in Halifax, Nova Scotia, where we arrived from Montreal in August 2005; hence, when we refer to something as local, it more or less means NS or, at its broadest, the Atlantic provinces. It also means that all prices reported here are in Canadian currency, unless otherwise specified. Price are also non-inclusive of taxes (15% in Canada), once again, unless otherwise specified. But that's boring stuff…

Click on any category or subcategory to read entries more relevant to your interests and tastes. Happy drinking!

Silent, but still drinking!

Well, well, well, almost eight months without an update: that is embarrassing! I hope you will forgive us (assuming any one actually reads this stuff) however, when you learn that these months have seen us move to a new apartment and, eventually, become the parents of a tiny little girl: well, not so very tiny any more already. This, in conjunction with many other exciting things and a lack of internet connection at home has made it difficult to update this blog as often as we would have wished. But, but, but, it did not stop us from drinking most delicious fluids whenever we could get them, and, what's more, reflect upon their virtues. Below, then, you will find five more reviews which have accumulated through these eventful months, bringing the total number of reviewed Whiskies to the proud, round number of 30! Enjoy!

Some other notes:

  • Due to our inabilities to review them often enough, Beers and Wines have now moved to a category called Etc until we get around to reviewing them more regularly again.
  • Some of the reviews which we feel deserve special attention will now have pictures added to them. Wyborowa is the first such review, but we hope many others will follow.
  • We hope to add more to this blog soon: in particular, we would like to start reviewing Teas, as well as add a few recipes and articles regarding spirits, the use of spirits, and the art of tasting them. Wish us luck...

    • Cheers!

    Still Alive

    We apologise for the long silence but computer problems--- which among
    other things have caused me to lose a few reviews pending
    posting--- apartment hunting and life in general have kept us quiet
    all these months. Here below are three new reviews which have
    collected in the last few weeks.

    CHEERS!
