Beer of the Day thread (and ci-derp)
Not really. Everclear works out to be like $20/liter of pure ethanol ($35 for 1.75L of 90%). Mr. Boston is like $11.40/liter of pure ethanol ($8 for 1.75L of 40%).

WTF is all of this ****? Shut up, children, this is the beer thread.
If it is not fermented by ale yeast, lager yeast, or some form of bacteria, GTFO.
Tonight I am drinking Widmer Alchemy Pale Ale. On draft, natch. I find it drinkable. It's not too big, about 5%, which I like in a drinkable beer. Otherwise it is unremarkable. I would prefer more floral hop finish.

SO . . . last night's brew was a delicious Caldera "Mogli", an oak-aged imperial porter brewed with chocolate (in homage to the namesake chocolate Lab that was owned by the brewer's girlfriend). YUMMY!

our local whole foods has a rather good beer selection that actually rotates. I spend way too much money on beer there

most whole foodses have good beer selection. I used to play poker with our local beer buyer for WF. He was a solid dude.

Someone learn me about mead. I had some on accident the other day (ordered something random off the tap) and that **** wasn't bad. I googled it and its like honey wine or something? Is it just as sissy as hard cider or can I pretend to be a man when I drink it.

Making or just drinking mead?
It is in fact honey wine. I made 5 gallons of it for my wedding and indulgent sampling facilitated one of the worst hangovers I've ever experienced, so I never served it. I think it got the airlock knocked off and became rather oxidized :(
Much like cider its generally very dry so hard to not accidentally drink a lot of it. People tend to ferment it with fruit to give it some more body/flavor/color and my favorites are by far the berry types usually referred to as a Melomel. Brewed with hops and malt and its a Braggot, brewed with apple and its called a Cyser. A very classic preparation is brewing with herbs and spices, then its called a Metheglin.
Its a quite ancient beverage and rather difficult to make well. It most likely predates beer in most ancient societies. In antiquity it was believed to enhance fertility, but I tend to believe it just makes people get it on while they are **** drunk.
You should stop me or I'll keep going.
