Spaten Premium Lager

20101023:
It's movie night and the movie theme is capoeira! We watched Only the Strong (1993) and Besouro (2009).

I don't know if the Spaten I had was a Spaten Premium Lager or not, but I'm guessing it was. 12 oz. bottle.
I wrote: "Spaten. Light, neutral taste."

I later drank a bottle of Red Stripe.

Wikipedia says that the bottle sizes in the U.S. were decreased from 12 oz. bottles to 11.2 oz. bottles in 2010. In any case, I had my Red Stripe from the bottle.

I wrote: "Red Stripe. Nice flavor. I've had it before. One of my favorites."

This Red Stripe tasted okay at the start, but by the end, when it was warmer, I was enjoying it less. 4:59PM PT

Pickle Back

The batizado here in New York was great. Now it's time for the fun and dancing. But first, we make a quick stop at a bar for a quick shot. A few of us were in for a surprise, for we had not tried this shot before, and those that knew wouldn't tell us what it was about. I guess they were afraid we wouldn't try it if we knew.

The drink is a shot of whiskey (many recipes call for Jameson Irish whiskey) followed by a shot of pickle juice. It tasted great.

They have pickle backs here at Hooters! Remembering the great taste from several years back, I convinced my friend to try it. Unfortunately, they gave us more than a shot worth of pickle juice and I was too inexperienced to realize that just a shot worth of pickle juice would have tasted better.

I wrote the following: "Pickle back. A bit much pickle juice. Still good though." 11:31PM PT
