What are you drinking?

Porter2 · Jul 10, 2023

Well I can tell you what I’m not drinking and never again. Howard’s baby Starbucks Brew named ‘Oleato’. Got talked in to trying it. F’me F’me. Horrible. I mean it tasted fine but was odd. And it was odd and unwelcoming to my internal gut processing system tooooo. Tooooo many trips to the toilet. (Yeah posted this already but not on this thread. Thought I could save a few.

Caffeine and olive oil… basically a big ass laxative.

The question begs...why drink something like that ?

Olive oil and caffeine...Sure it sounds great

Said nobody ever.

Nope but I had a nice pasta dish and my first chew shortly after . That was not a good event… for me or the porcelain grab stool.

Sure

But that drink is not a cup of coffee after a pasta dish...

To each his own of course, but if I need to run to the bathroom there's ways that don't cost 6 bucks and I don't have to stand in line at Starbucks.

Honestly with the way people are so retentive about pooping these days, and that chains massive pandering to the same demographic, it doesn't surprise me something like that is being sold.

Maybe they should sell brownies made with ex lax. Would get the same result, and maybe taste better

I won’t be drinking one of my favorites for long, got the last 6-pack at BevMo today, Anchor Steam, just a nice beer. It’s getting hard to find good beer in a beer desert.

SF's Anchor Brewing Company, country's 1st craft brewery, shutting down after 127 years

"It was great that Fitz Maytag saved it back in 1966. I just wish somebody would save it now." This latest development comes one month after Anchor announced it was stopping national distribution and discontinuing its Christmas Ale, which it has produced since 1975.

Nothing special here….. but taste

Coldsmoke. Brewed in Missoula and not sold outside MT I'm told. Only comes in 16 oz cans. Which means I gotta' pee 4 times to drain it. Getting older sure ain't for sissies!

Aw man, too bad! One of the only “real” beers (you know, with hops and flavor and body and stuff) you could get before the microbrew explosion.

I’m drinking a “gin-gin mule.” It’s like a Moscow mule but with gin instead of vodka. This one has Bombay Sapphire gin, juice of one lime, muddled mint, and Reed’s extra strong ginger beer.
