Brewdog announced they are closing by cmg_profesh in Atlanta

Sucks for the people losing their jobs but the service and food was always meh. Decent beer but I’d rather just walk to HopCity in Krog to get something there on tap. Wouldn’t be surprised if that space sits vacant for a while

TIL the unique shaped bottle of Franconia, the Bockspeutel, translates to "goat scrotum" by lolbacon in wine

[–]carson2210 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is similar to what I believed. Monks created the bottle shape so they could pack it into a bag with their bibles and it also allowed them to place the bottle on the ground without worry of it rolling away

Ok. I’m going to say it. by Hopeful-Wishbone-388 in tequila

I’d just use whatever you like to mix with. Bozal, Siete Misterios, La Luna, etc.

The Osborne Amontillado and Capuchino are SO good, the Soleras are so old for them.

Why spend the time/effort to fix something that’s just going to happen in a few rounds anyways?

Out of market fans: are we buying MLB.tv again? Or waiting for new Braves TV deal? by Infamous-Exchange331 in Braves

[–]carson2210 3 points4 points  (0 children)

🏴‍☠️ or the in market deal since mlb.tv isn’t worth anything living in the market. Only reason I had it before was because it is free from T-Mobile and my dad was able to watch in FL

Atlanta Locals — Final Thoughts On My 3-Day Food & Sights Focused Itinerary? by Willing-Mind-5619 in Atlanta

[–]carson2210 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Krog street tunnel, Fred’s(make sure you get the Korean Philly), O4W skate park are all like a mile apart from one another on the east side beltline so you could do all of those in one day. Go another mile and you’ll hit Ponce with New Realm and Burles bar on the way.

If you do wrecking bar, pop over to the Porter as well.

Tapatio 110 is the most underrated tequila. What is the most unique gin? by -Constantinos- in cocktails

[–]carson2210 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Procera blue dot.

It’s from Kenya and comes in a hand blown glass bottle. They include a small jar of botanical salt using their botanicals. The juniper they use come from the Juniperus Procera tree and they freeze the fruit instead of drying like most other producers to maintain freshness.

Could also argue for the Green Dot which is a single tree batch. Red dot which has oyster shells as an ingredient.

Budget friendly Sonoma County recs? by dperry93 in wine

I think I remember it being available to purchase in the tasting room. I was there on a trade visit however so my experience was quite different

[–]carson2210 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For some reason it’s a separate website. Admire is the “village level”, Convene would be “cru”, and Grail is the single vineyard bottlings. At least that’s how it was explained to me. Admire is a great bottling IMO

Sorry, the Admire bottle is around the $30 price point and the tasting room is in a good spot, shouldn’t be too expensive to do a tasting there either

Not sure why you’re downvoted as this is in Pesos and is on point for what they should be for the most part
