Social networks have made it all about vacuous instagram 20somethings who also Crossfit and are definitely running their own photography or party planning business and have gin socials which are mostly an excuse to put more photos on insta. They all think they're amazing because filters make their skin look flawless and they all do duckface. They're all dead behind the eyes and hate each other. At least one in every group has a serious cocaine problem. Quote
Paid Members Accident Prone Posted September 19, 2018 Paid Members Posted September 19, 2018 I like gin, craft beers & ales, cheese and wine but not to the point that I get into any wankery snobbish behavior over them. Tequila can fuck off though. It's horrible. Just the smell is enough to activate my gag reflex. Quote

Just the smell is enough to activate my gag reflex. Used to hate tequila, until I was educated on it by our resident tequila czar, @Chest Rockwell. He explained that most people hate tequila because they're used to shooting rubbish like Cuervo, instead of sipping good quality, 100% agave brands. Intrigued by this, I went to numerous free tequila nights put on by Barrio Central in Soho - they were primarily trade events to link up tequila producers with bars and drinks companies - and I got to try a whole range of awesome stuff from various brands, like Tapatio, Ocho, Corralejo, Don Julio, Patron, Illégal, and others. A high quality tequila is a thing of joy. Quote
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted September 19, 2018 Moderators Posted September 19, 2018 Since we're on drink. I don't much care for beer of any kind these days. I'll have the occasional Guinness or pint of bitter, but even that is a rare occasion these days. Quote

A relatively niche product like gin or hoppy IPA's, there certainly is a bit of ponceification and sometimes minor variations on a theme that get dressed up as something they are not. Cheese is and amazing foodstuff with an almost limitless array of types. Considering I was at a cheese and agricultural show less than a fortnight ago, I can safely say there was absolutely none of the bearded twats you get with gin, for example. Just farmers and the like who were proud or their product. Quote
Rey_Piste Posted September 19, 2018 Posted September 19, 2018 You need to have the culture with cheese otherwise you just have some manky milk and no one wants that. Quote
Paid Members Scott Malbranque Posted September 19, 2018 Paid Members Posted September 19, 2018 To be fair, coming home from a night out and dunking some Cracker Barrel into a jar of Hellmans is a lovely experience. Quote
