viNomadicHey-ya, #listeningclub —this Sunday’s venue…seem to be paying a premium for internet access at the local Lebanese resto…
Dan Kletter 🥑@vinomadic Looks delicious!
@soundclamp for street takeout version, seemed a liitttle overpriced... $25? #listeningclub #feedingtrough
@vinomadic #ListeningClub Everything is overpriced lately haha.
@soundclamp Yeah...also, my hosts in Spain are so nice & generous with their two-euro pours of double campari+vermouth as base for my Americano or Negroni Sbagliato... 10 bucks for a skimpy shot of each here... kvetch, kvetch, I know, #listeningclub #drinkingclub

Two very different worlds for how alcohol is dispensed. Same perspective between Canada and EU.

@iamwahl @soundclamp In a #drinkingclub vein, yesterday was a rare beer day for me-- a 7.8% ABV mixed-berry based sour ale, & a kolsch later-- both local-- should try to locate their stations & take note of breweries before they close today! #listeningclub

woj@vinomadic @iamwahl @soundclamp the sour sounds delicious! are you over here or over there now? and if over here, where did it come from?
@woj @iamwahl @soundclamp Gortta make sure, but I *think* it should be made not far from my mid-Hudson Valley location-- Rosendale, near New Paltz, &c... #beerclub #listeningclub
@woj @iamwahl @soundclamp ...indeed it was! Passed on another sour at Santa Fe Burger bar, where I had the Kolsch, because that one was mango-based, & although mangoes can be nicely tart depending on sub-variety & picking moment, server *did* warn me it was on the sweetish side. Not. At. All with the one I had! #beerclub #listeningclub
@vinomadic @woj @iamwahl #ListeningClub Clearly my #BeerClub skills are rusty and I need to hire you for a tour haha.
@vinomadic @iamwahl @soundclamp mmmmmm love a good sour. we're kinda getting over-saturated with them to some degree though so you have to figure out who is making the good ones... #ListeningClub
@woj @iamwahl @soundclamp I come at them from funky-tart Belgian Geuze, which my German relatives think I'm insanse to drink, so yeah... #beerclub #listeningclub
ogili@vinomadic @woj @iamwahl @soundclamp 'funky-tart Belgian Geuze' is a beer, not a music genre?
@ogili @soundclamp @woj @iamwahl Well, two beers was a BIG evening for me! Also, there was a Puerto Rican/Ecuadorian food truck & I gorged myself on custom-fried tostones (green plantains, but starting to ripen so they're mealier inside...) #foodclub #listeningclub
@ogili @vinomadic @woj @iamwahl #ListeningClub I had to give it up so it’s taking me longer to get over it but I’m working on it.
@soundclamp @vinomadic @woj @iamwahl #listeningclub the horror of having a hangover with a baby/toddler around put me off drinking for 3 years, and I never got back into it really
@soundclamp @vinomadic @woj @iamwahl #listeningclub and there was always the deep fear that something would happen that we'd need to go to A and E with the kid whilst pissed, and that would be an increadably bad thing.
@ogili @vinomadic @woj @iamwahl #ListeningClub Oh yeah, and if they called social services would be my worst nightmare.

Sours seem to have a pretty broad range these days, including reaching/competing for the strange...
I've enjoyed the Belgian sours I've had but a number of the more fruity ones leave me wishing I'd selected another option...

@iamwahl @woj @soundclamp Well, the formerly trad brands like Lindemann's are now industrially made, with fruit syrup or something, I was told...? #listeningclub #beerclub
Aarni@woj @vinomadic @iamwahl @soundclamp https://coolhead.fi/ brews extremely good sours, but I doubt you can find them easily outside Finland...
