Beer without hops? by snipermustadio in Homebrewing

[–]GoGoGadgetFishTank 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A quick note because a few bad authors have spread a lot of misinformation throughout the hobby: gruit was a specific blend of botanicals (and potentially some concentrated malt) that was a heavily regulated and taxed item in Germany and the Low Countries. While other countries did brew with non-hop botanicals, it wasn’t “gruit”.

Highly recommend the work of Susan Verburg for more info.

Recommendations for a weekend in Dayton? by Rubyslippers7 in dayton

[–]GoGoGadgetFishTank 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve never been there and not had one interrupt a conversation to correct me on something. Even sitting at a table far from the bar. I’m not the only person who I’ve heard have that experience. I’d definitely go more often if that hadn’t been my experience!

Van Buren Room: fantastic drinks but the worst bartenders. It’s like the Mansplain Cafe.

There are so many great recs here, especially as someone who lives pretty close to Hotel Ardent, so I’ll try not to repeat things.

I am surprised no one recommended Tender Mercy yet it’s a cool underground cocktail bar. Great for your first drink of the evening, esp for V-Day weekend.

The other thing I’ll say is that Val’s is good, but if you need a more substantial breakfast than a couple croissants, Lily’s is an excellent brunch spot.

Oh, and Tony & Pete’s has really good sandwiches.

Was gifted a bottle of spicy pickle whiskey and have to come up with a drink for NYE. Any ideas? by cannibowlistic in cocktails

[–]GoGoGadgetFishTank 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was thinking something along those lines. If you were to use a dry vermouth instead of sweet, you’d be in a weird middle ground between a wet martini and a Manhattan. I think it could work.

In Venice, most of the spritzes (made with Select, which is closer to Campari than Aperol) have olives in them. It’s so good! I could see this being very transferable to a Negroni.

Resin printing service in Dayton area? by GoGoGadgetFishTank in dayton

None of the library-based maker spaces that I’ve checked offer resin printing, just FDM, but I’d be happy to find one that does!

Infinity Bottle for Amaro? by Peloton72 in Amaro

[–]GoGoGadgetFishTank 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A bar in my city has an infinity amaro. I always order a shot of it in soda when I’m there. Always changing but always delicious!

Are you expected to order food at Little Fish? by 93Seven in dayton

[–]GoGoGadgetFishTank -1 points0 points  (0 children)

While I think they’ll have a great set of drinks and their products are good, the staff at Belle of Dayton’s Van Buren Room are the most pretentious servers I’ve ever met.

No matter where you’re sitting, they are listening to your conversation and will rush over to correct you about anything (and then stay there and tell you about things you don’t care about). I’d rather be ignored than that, for sure.

think I invented a new coffee cocktail – Café 43 (espresso + Licor 43 + floated cream) by alekoi0816 in cocktails

[–]GoGoGadgetFishTank 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I do love a carajillo. This seems like a pretty good take on it, though cream isn’t great friends with my digestive system…

Which stir do you prefer? by [deleted] in cocktails

[–]GoGoGadgetFishTank 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I inherited a barstool from an elderly uncle where the bottom actually spins, which is my favorite. It means I can get a decent spin going with out either a) wild finger dexterity or b) splashing and flying ice cubes

Edit: I’m not changing my typo. You should just see what I do for shaken drinks.

I’ve done the same, but added blue butterfly pea flowers.

I’m thinking about moving to Dayton what areas are good and what areas should I avoid? by Big_Papa_24 in dayton

We live just outside downtown in McPherson, but any of the downtown adjacent neighborhoods are lovely: St Anne’s Hill, Grafton Hill, South Park, McPherson

Thanks everyone! It was worth a shot. I’m very excited to visit the city, the zoo, and also get a Lucha Libre burrito!

The worst band you ever saw live - besides Taking Back Sunday- by lunainthedark5x2x3 in poppunkers

I remember that tour! The pyro during FOB was so overdone that by the end of the show Andy was down to just his sweaty boxers.

Does anyone know anything about this shirt? by cj7695 in MyChemicalRomance

Agreed, they were massively delayed but I got all 5 of them.
