China Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 Brazil hopes the world will get a taste for its favourite spirit There is no other drink that represents Brazil more than the sugar cane spirit cachaça. You visit a bustling bar with friends on a hot evening, and enjoy cold glasses of the country's national ****tail - caipirinha, a mixture of cachaça, sugar, and lime, with lots and lots of ice. Or just as popular - you drink cachaça neat, downing shots to toast your companions. Yet like the nation as a whole, the spirit has had a difficult pandemic. With bars and restaurants across Brazil closed for long periods since last spring and households not allowed to mix, sales slumped by almost a quarter in 2020. Producers and industry leaders now hope to boost overseas orders of cachaça, in order to compensate. But as Luciano Sadi Andrade, marketing manager at distillers Companhia Müller de Bebidas, admits: "It has always been a challenge... to explain the concept of cachaça for the foreign market."

In town, and relatively close to everything downtown, you can hit the Jim Beam Urban Stillhouse, The Evan Williams Experience, (do the Speakeasy tour if not booked...lots of fun and worth it), Angel's Envy & Old Forester, Rabbit Hole distilleries are all nearby, inexpensive to visit, and the tours include samples. Lots of fun and cheap. If you want a great bar, with a very good selection, (and reasonably priced high end bourbon), try the Garage Bar in the NuLu neighborhood. It's an old service station converted into a bar and the locals flock to it.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tshile Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 Buddy picked me up a bottle of eagle rare this week. Just gotta get it from him. but, that meant I was all too happy to open the 1 bottle I had so did that last night (i try to not open stuff that’s harder to get until I grab a second bottle, otherwise I tend to kill it off and then have none for months ) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually BT products are making their way to most/all of the abc stores in VA this week. Probably halfway done. They hit approx every 6 weeks, so I try to remember after a month to start looking at their online inventory tracker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tshile Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 Yeah I’ve got a group of friends that stand in line on delivery day and snag anything they can, then we sort out everyone’s inventory and get things to people who are low in whatever. this time around I got the eagle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, are you going to the game tonight? I miss attending games so much, that I'm making a very rare, (as in 3rd or 4th time in 40 years rare), preseason game. I really want to check out the new field, and see some of our newer players, live. If so, come on by and see us at the ES tailgate. It will definitely be a "tailgate light" crowd, cold cuts, cold fried chicken and snacks), but it gives the core group a chance to catch up. If you do come by, let me know, and I'll bring you a bourbon to try. I have to behave, as Mrs. Skinsfan doesn't do preseason, so I'm driving.

We gave them up 2 years ago when no one would buy them anymore. I haven’t gone in 4 years. I haven’t watched a game on tv in its entirety for at least 3 years. The real issue was the timing of awful things: we now have 2 kids, the older one stopped being free, we’re really busy, the team is a disgrace, and the name changed. The blowup of the rg3 era started a cascading “I’m embarrassed” feeling that reached what feels like a point of no return with the whole filming cheerleaders naked without their consent thing. interestingly enough this is the first season I’m interested. Don’t follow player moves anymore (who was our #1 draft pick? I have no idea) but I feel likes it’s make or break for the Rivera era and I’m curious… so I’ll watch. And the first time I think “same old **** show” will be the last time I watch for the season probably… sucks man. Ruined something I really cared about. Oh well. if I hadn’t found the tailgate so interesting and if there’s weren’t a number of active posters I have some relationship with… I’d have quit posting/reading here too… Edited August 20, 2021 by tshile 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hiatus from going to games during the pandemic was a much-needed break last season, but now I'm ready for more. I'm like a puppy that get's kicked by his owner. No matter how many times I get kicked, I seem to come back for more, with my tail wagging. Mrs. Skinfan was ready to ditch the whole thing, between all the "woke" stuff, and all that entailed, she was done, so the hiatus gave her a chance to calm down. She did, (a little), , but mainly to placate me, because she knows how much I love the whole gameday experience and we have so many friends that we hang out with at the tailgate and games.

tshile Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 Actually I love the abc system… I don’t understand why everyone hates it. They do lotteries and auctions and they’re just random. And every store I go into the people are awesome and it takes a onetime 2 minute conversation to find out what day and time their truck deliveries are their website inventory system is usually spot on accurate… they’ve started rolling out home delivery… online order/pickup already exists…. idk what else you could want. Maybe it’s an area thing and I’m just lucky the closest 5 stores are run and staffed by cool people? I mean all I gotta do is walk in and tell them 3-4 bourbons that are my favorite and they’ll point me to less popular, readily available stuff that I’ll like. I’d say they’re usually right 70% if the time, which is good enough for me… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
China Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 The abc stores are fine. But whenever I go out of town, I make sure to check the local liquor stores, because the abc stores don't stock everything, so I look for something I can't get at home. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Evil Genius Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 So anyone ever had Smooth Ambler bourbon and/or whiskey? Their distillery/tasting room is about 10 minutes from my folks home and thinking about going over there today to see what it is about. Apparently they've been successful in getting some awards but this stuff is still way over my head... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hit the distillery, and try a few, before you buy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
