I like trying the local pißwasser of choice when traveling around. Sometimes it's bad (Baltika, fe). Working out of Glasgow atm, so it's irnbrü, kind of tastes like bubblegum. What's everyones' local drink du jour (alcoholic or otherwise)?

Mix of apple juice and coke zero 1:1.

Negra Modelo

They grow the raw material and make the malt in my state (Idaho). Then make the beverage in Mexico. So its an import, but made partly in my backyard.

Also, if in France, drink German beer. French beer is nasty.

Water.

Also coffee.

@Demolishun
Agreed. I love some good weissbier

Grolsch or Hertog Jan when trying to get drunk quickly

Jasmine tea.

Alcoholic? Adios Motherfucker, and all of its variants.

When I visit a new city, I mostly look for IPAs and New England style IPAs from local breweries I've never heard of. There are thousands of breweries in the US, so it's easy to find something completely new when I travel a couple hundred miles from home. It's a fun strategy.

We went to the UK for our honeymoon in 2015, and I was very disappointed with the variety and flavor of beers we found there. It was almost all bland and flavorless.

We extended our honeymoon by a week so I could officiate a wedding in Prague, and the beer there was sensational.

@bahua They're just matching their beer to their food in the UK.

@Fast-Nop

If you're not interested in living very long, the food is wonderful. Mush, rarebit, sausage rolls, black pudding, haggis, fish and chips, scotch eggs. Great for vacation, but probably not for longevity.

@Fast-Nop Does that mean they are both bad?

@Demolishun There were reasons why England was an empire at sea. :-P

Radler ("Shandy" for the brits), a mix of beer and lemonade in the ratio of your choice.

Although the regular one is made with pilsener, you should try to get it with Weissbier, that's the best, especially on a hot summer day.

@shoop
I've had a fairly broad sample of their offerings; lagers ports, cordial/fruit-base.

Water. Water is good

@CodeTalker Well, not everywhere. You don't drink the water in Mexico.

@Demolishun
Or Flint

Ah the untappd thread, I have arrived 🍻🍻

Drinking this one tonight. Made by a very good local brewery that always plays death metal when you go.

Ebbelwoi (applewine)

We got Iron Brew in South Africa lol

Are you having that with the obligatory deep fried Mars bar?

Earl grey with milk here, btw.

@Sabro
Nope, I'm not super into sweet things. 🙂

Everyday drink: sparkling water (preferably a light sparkle rather than a strong one).

Once in a while: espresso watered down with sparkling water because I like the way it makes the crema (foam) rise.

For the light alcoholization: Radler (Amstel or Grolsch).

Beer: IJwit or Franziskaner Dunkel. Also, many Belgian beers are great!

Favourite liqueur as of late: Pacharán. I also have an unopened Ruavieja Crema in the closet.

@bahua
I'd definitely give it a go, places sounds like it's right up my alley. Denver is a solid beer town, spent plenty of time in the DTC.

Local to me brewery has a similar bent, but with nitro porter

@SomeNone
That all sounds great to me :) Especially the doppel, I'm always up for an optimator. The basque liquor is something I haven't dug into, will do if I'm ever that way.

@SortOfTested Doppel? Where?

@SomeNone
Read that wrong :) Dunkel is good as well. My only rule with beers is nothing light.

I also do this, was in Paris and this one was the winner of the tastebuds

Also ignore my pouring skills and the fistfull of foam on top 😭😭😭😭

@Sabro why torturing earl grey with milk?
