Creating a thread of alcohol I consume during my travels. Cheers!!! 🍻🍻🍻
And also #beersofmastodon #fedibeers is a thing here, apparently.

Starting with Balozi and White Cap during my recent trip to Nairobi. Both are lagers. I am not a beer connoisseur, but anything that can compete with San Miguel Pale Pilsen is a good beer.

Not traveling but it's beer! #fedibeers #beersofmastodon

It's Thirstday!

Hindi masarap itong Castle Lite. Puro bula lang. Para siyang San Mig Light. #fedibeers #beersofmastodon

If I can haul more than 2 liters of wine, I would. Was able to bring home 2 bottles, a Cabernet Sauvignon and a Pinotage. Swabe ang South African wines. And they were relatively affordable.

@dyownie

Aha! Hindi mo rin pala gusto ang SanMig Light.  

Naalala ko yung isang kainuman ko minsan, who insisted on having it. Tanong ko, "what do you like about that beer?"

Apparently there are folks out there who think it has less alcohol, and claim that they don't get drunk quickly compared with other beer.

I pointed out the alcohol content printed on the bottle, and compared it with what I was having. Fun times. 

@gowin Bloated lang ako lage after drinking it.

Haha, people assume na less alcohol content kasi light. 😂😂😂

@dyownie @gowin May Colt45 pa ba? The best yun. Kicks higher than Red Horse but doesn't taste like crap.
@onat @gowin OMG! Nung college ako buy 1 take 1 yan for 45 pesos. Tapos hihingi kami ng bucket of ice tapos lalagyan ng Extra Joss. Iinumin with straw, ftw!
@dyownie
Malayo ang naaabot ng 45 pesoses mo! 😆
@onat
@dyownie @gowin wow may extra flavor na at extra energy ⚡

@onat
I don't remember trying this brand, but then again, I'm not fond of beer with high alcohol content.

For a while, I did learn to like Red Horse (and learn all the myths about the laughing horse logo!), while I was working in a farm for a couple of years. The "biggest" sari-sari store will only stock-up on Pilsen on weekends, and will only have Red Horse for the rest of the week, or the local moonshine, Tuba.

And going "downtown" on a weekday for me, means a treat of ice-cold Pilsen.

@dyownie

@gowin @onat I can live with just Pale Pilsen. Although when doing field in Visayas, it's usually Beer na Beer or Gold Eagle. 😂

I wouldn't mind Tapuy. I've never had Tuba!

@dyownie @onat

I've also enjoyed Tapuy!

Although I enjoy (very) sour sinigang, I couldn't handle the sourness of over-fermented Tuba.

Bahalina (freshly-harvested, unfermented coconut flower sap) is really refreshing though. Your soda replacement right from the coconut's spadix.

@dyownie @onat May Gold Eagle pa ba?!! Or Beer na beer?
@gowin @dyownie Pilsen is the worst one for me. Scared to death to try lambanog bec they say it can cause blindness, and I'm already somewhat blind. Hehe Generoso at Tequila lang sakalam.

Itong si @onat, mukhang malakas uminom. 😅

Ako, serbesa at vino ang madalas kong inumin, hindi talaga ako tumatagal sa mga hard drinks.

Pero laging may bote ng Shochu, para sa mga bisitang hard ang gusto, at minsan isang shot, para mabilis dalawin ng antok, kung 'di ko kayang tapusin ang bote ng serbesa.

@dyownie

@gowin @dyownie Nyahahaha. High school, hindi kasi nagpapantal dati. College, yes, dumadayo pa para sa gin poso (as in with ice gawa sa tubig ng poso, onting lasang kalawang). Nasanay sa tequila dati kasi ginawa kong pampatulog pag extra oa yung insomnia ko. Ngayon, 1 Smirnoff Mule, tulog na. 😂

@onat @gowin Grabe yung gin poso, baka mamatay ako bilang may amebiasis ako dati 🤣 🤣 🤣

Dahil tanders na tayo, beer na lang talaga kung may craft beer, game tayo! Or wine na lang. If I want to splurge, cocktails (but nothing with soda/bubbles)!!!

Was never a fan of sake, shochu or soju. Takot ako sa mga walang kulay eh. Hahaha.

Nung bata bata pa ko at wala masyadong pera, sinubukan rin pala namin ang vino kulafu, shoktong with Lipton ice tea. 🤣 🤣 🤣

@dyownie

Kwentong lambanog.

Noong nasa pangatlong taon ako ng high school, niyaya ako ng pinsan kong nag-aaral sa UPLB na dumalo sa open house ng kolehiyo nila, para engganyuhing doon mag-apply.

Kinagabihan, bumuhos ang alak. Lambanog, na may lasang bubble gum.

Kinaumagahan hindi ko alam kung saang dormitoryo ako magising, at paanong nakarating doon.

That was the first and only time I blacked out from drinking. I never touched Lambanog since then. 😅

Hindi din ako nag UPLB. 😆

@onat

@gowin @onat Grabe yung PTSD 🤣🤣🤣

Magka-batch ata tayo eh high school rin ako nung nauso yang bubble gum lambanog.

@dyownie @onat Klasmeyt! 
@gowin @dyownie *apir* Klasmates! Para ngang same bracket tayo. Hehe

@onat

Saling pusa po ako ng #Fediverse Class of 2017. 😆

@dyownie

@gowin @onat Class of 2022 lang ako ng Fediverse. Late bloomer.
@gowin @dyownie wala na rin ata Gold Eagle at Beer na Beer
