Well this is disturbing news. UK alcohol consumption at a 23 year low. I don't blame the Stig, Dr. P, Viking, kowolski or Shane's. They do their parts and make up for some slackers but they can't do it alone.
Pick up the pace lads!

I've yet to find any but if any Board member has tried it, a review would be most appreciated.
Come to think of it, we really ought to start a Review Thread, in either TAoGH or ANDR.

See that "idolators" part? That's an old Calvanist dig against the Catholics and Orthodox. These people would still be fighting the Thirty Years War, if you let them.

Well, who's not letting them, I ask? It's not me. They have my permission. I'll even pretend to come to Defen-Con 3. Then I'll sneak off and partake of the excellent beer.frankennietzsche wrote:...See that "idolators" part? That's an old Calvanist dig against the Catholics and Orthodox.

Re: Booze News
Yep, it's the truth. The whiskey we buy today had to be demand-estimated a decade, sometimes more, in the past. Whether supply meets demand has to do with whether they guessed right. Drinking trends, like every other trend, can be fickle.Lush City wrote:Whiskey Revival Leads To Shortages In US

Scotch has a unique problem in that it's not only aged longer than bourbon (usually), but they're running out of used barrels to age it in. It's bust-boom cycle, of course. Everyone's building new distilleries like mad (bourbon and Scotch), and some undetermined number of years from now, there will be a glut and oversupply. It's happened before. Some of the best vintage whiskeys out there were barrels that sat around during a glut in closed-down distilleries and aged longer than intended, and then they were bottled and sold at fire-sale prices.
