Agile Vector posted:this is on my bucket list, the list of things that might make me kick the bucket I try to inflict malört on as many people as I can, pm me your mailing address and (as long as you're in the states) I'll ship you a bottle in a month or so when I get to Binny's Beverage Depot and the UPS store I'm going to a gay campground during the eclipse and have a bunch of extra glasses and I'm giving them away as long as you take a shot of malört first

there's a bar in the Chicago board of trade building called Ceres if you order a dark and stormy (or most classic two-ingredient cocktails) you will be asked if you want the mixer on the side. if you say yes, this is what you get  here's a gin and soda  and if you say "poo poo I don't need to get that drunk, I'll have a beer?"

idk Myers's is p good too and maybe a local craft ginger beer but goslings is probably the best one which can be easily acquired. crabbies alcoholic ginger beer is also a choice and not a terrible one

Resting Lich Face posted:Gin is never the correct answer to anything except the question: "what is the worst liquor?" good gin is very good and also a spirit that very young distilleries can actually make without either lying about it our sourcing it from somewhere else (lol whiskey)

Chris Knight posted:new "bar rescue" season continues to be entertaining af, like how do these know nothing dipshits go into the bar business my favorite Bar Rescue story is Hopleaf in Chicago. it's a really great beer bar with awesome food, probably the oldest high-end beer bar in the city (the first was quenchers but it sadly closed last year) they've offered to "rescue" Hopleaf twice now, and the owner always goes what are you talking about.also they tried to get the guy who runs Hopleaf on as a consultant too lmao quote:The Hopleaf Bar's Michael Roper is very proud of his nearly 25-year-old Andersonville bar and restaurant. Customers laud the vast beer selection, food and that it's a rare haven without televisions blaring sports. So imagine his disbelief on Friday when the folks from Spike TV's "Bar Rescue" came calling, asking if Roper wanted the Hopleaf on the TV show to help business. The caller supposedly told Roper he would get some "free remodeling out of it." https://chicago.eater.com/2016/2/29/11130440/hopleaf-bar-rescue-tv-show-rejection

went out drinking with some cishet white make coworkers who are all very aware of how lovely everything is for not-cishet white men in the tech industry but also treated me (an out but early-in-transition transfem enby) like “one of the guys” which was super weird in general so yeah my night was weird but also a little productive? we all concluded my boss has no loving clue what he’s doing and that’s why we keep hemorrhaging people. also I started out the night drinking really good cocktails and ended it drinking high life and watching people sing karaoke e: and somewhere in there was a shot of well gin and jeppson’s Malört and in not sure which was worse minivanmegafun fucked around with this message at 19:31 on Nov 16, 2019 |

Endless Mike posted:can you explain what you mean by "one of the guys"? i'm genuinely curious. i don't want to treat someone in a way they're uncomfortable with really a lot of it is "don't get so drunk you forget that the out trans person next to you is trans" he didn't fall into misgendering, but it was more of the whole getting drunk enough that he's just got his arm around my neck because he can't stand up anymore yes i'm 6'3" but still there are other people here who would also be fine with you doing that and i'm just weirded out
