I went to an Irish pub for an after work last night for some amazing live music! The Irish have good taste in drinks 🦀

Crabbie's Stout Oh god what is this? They took Crabbie's ginger beer and mixed it with a rich, nutty, slightly coffee stout and it tastes precisely as bad as you think it would. I don't know what they were thinking. Alan: 1 out of 5 Rachelle: 0 out of 5

Crabbie's IPA Another of those moments where you say "a ginger beer IPA, I wonder why no-one's tried that before... *sip*... now I see why". A weird mix of sweet ginger beer and sharp, bitter hops, which doesn't really work. Alan: 2 out of 5 Rachelle: 2 out of 5

Lifetime supply

5/11:

Brother: My old celebration used to be a Saturday morning Boddingtons. My new celebration should be, I guess, a Friday night English breakfast?

Me: CRABBIE'S. I might go over to [this restaurant in my neighborhood] and get one. Okay, I was literally just there last night having a Crabbie’s. Or you could call your new friends at Carabao and get some stock in.

Brother: I want to be like that guy who got the year’s supply of nuggets from Wendy's for getting retweets. I bet if we can get two retweets, we can get a lifetime supply of Carabao: 1/2 a can.

Me: We already have a lifetime supply: I still have the mini can left.

The Stir | Gin & Ginger

It's fair to say ginger beer has had a renaissance over the past few years. Drinks like the Dark & Stormy and Whiskey Ginger have found their way from bars to backyards, brunch and everywhere in between. The hearty spice and carbonation of an authentic ginger beer tames even the strongest of spirits, making it a favorite mixer among the modern cocktail crowd. When you decide to try it for yourself, theres only one place to start—Crabbie's Ginger Beer. 

While many ginger beers use artificial "ginger flavoring," Crabbie's isn't one of them. Their ginger roots are cold steeped for up to 6 weeks before four secret ingredients from a recipe dating back to 1801 in Edinburgh, Scotland are added. While the Original and Spiced Orange flavors are great, my favorite is the Scottish Raspberry. Not too sweet, its got just the right amount of tangy raspberry, and the bright red color makes it all the more refreshing. 

The Gin & Ginger is a recipe built on simplicity. With only three ingredients - ginger beer, gin and lime - it's designed to be super easy to make and let the flavors speak for themselves. Here's how it's done. 

Fill a highball glass with ice.

Pour in 2oz Farmer's Gin.

Fill the rest of the glass with Crabbie's Scottish Raspberry Ginger Beer.

Garnish with a lime wedge.
