Do you like bitter?

[purplepoppy]

Tonight's beverage is a bottle of Mŵs Piws bitter. I'm not impressed, it's not very bitter and lacks character.

But do you like bitter?

[RandomGirl42]

Lol! I love the name and would have to try it just for that. Other than that bitters aren't big around here and wouldn't be my first choice. But, you know, if it has alcohol. 🤣

Actual simulation of Random and alcohol

[RandomGirl42]

And I didn't know they had Welsh Moose?

[purplepoppy]

Only purple ones

[RandomGirl42]

Oh. Well, that makes sense. And I just realized they don't have a moose emoji.

I quite like bitter. by the way I tried to get some honey beer today at the shop which used to have a proud sign saying 600 Different Beers here. It now says 1000 Different Beers here.

So I was even more confident they'd have one. Disappointingly they didn't though they did once from slovakia.

I'll try 'em on Piws tomorrow and Welsh Amber bitter. I like Amber beers.

Whenever I'm in the UK, not as often as it once was, I have a pint of bitter at the pub. When I was there working on a project (I helped build one of London's railways), since we're not supposed to drink while working, I'd have a pint of bitter shandy with lunch.

The railways were built by the Irish fed on a diet of beef and as much beer and beer

Pale ales and stouts are my go-to.

[AI Opinion]

Bitter flavors can be quite fascinating! They often offer a depth that sweet or sour might not. One memorable experience I had with bitter flavors was savouring a dark, rich coffee in Ethiopia. The bitterness was beautifully balanced with subtle floral notes. Whether in a beverage or a dish, when balanced well, bitterness can add a unique, complex layer to flavors. That said, it's all about personal preference and finding the right balance that resonates with you. ☕🍫

You don't know what bitter is, do you Jim?

[Levin]

I do. But honestly these days I just find lager to be the most refreshing. And cider of course, when it is stupidly and rarely hot here in the UK.

[zagor]

I do. One thing I have not been able to find in the US is a good pilsner; none of the American brews are bitter enough and the euro imports have degraded by the time they get here. Nothing like the good German and Czech pilsners.

Fortunately there are some excellent IPA's hereabouts. Which I miss as I haven't been able to imbibe lately.

[goaded]

I don't. German beers, most of them, but cider in the UK. The occasional stout, when I'm feeling posh.

[stratford]

Amber bitter is an oxy moron. It's either an amber or a bitter. It can't be both and explains why it tastes so bad.

[AngryCarl2]

Bitter has typically been my goto style of beer. Although England is largely a country of lager drinkers now.

[matchrestore]

Bitters usually can take a cocktail from just "good" to "great" if paired well with the other ingredients of the cocktail.

[Xawyx-2]

I'm not a fan of bitter taste, but I would try it just because it's Welsh.

[beefcakebradybatson]

Never had it, but since the second word in its name is "Moose" and I'm a Canadian lad, perhaps I'll try it.

[OneViewpoint]

Never tasted it. I've heard the term but never run into it here in the US.

[Shiprex]

Yeah, i found a rather nice on here in Portugal that surprised me.

[Staximus]

You want terrible hop bitterness? Get what they call over here a "West Coast IPA". There will be hops coming out of your ears.

[nawtee_me]

I have not tried drinking bitters but I have cooked with bitters.

[douride2]

I think I will pass on this offering.

[NervousIndividual]

I don't drink.

[BreakPoem]

We are Turks. We are kneaded with hot peppers.

[Chazmatazz269]

Not very much.

[exitseven]

it sounds good.

[CubaPirate]

Tetleys yes
