Surely people are only drinking it to look cool. Awful guff.

Since I've had to get off the beer I can honestly say I wish I did years ago, gin is the bomb, I've got a fair collection going now as whenever I have a win on the punt I get myself a top shelf bottle.

The distilleries are awesome too, they do go a bit weird with what they try and chuck in there but I've encountered a few winners to which I now follow, I don't drink much anymore but my love for gin is rife, I'm going to be cheating a bit by getting cheap gins and distilling them in small barrels chucking in flavours that I like, I was telling a mate at work about the idea and he got straight on to it, him and his wife love it.

And before you say it, yes, my boyfriend loves it too, and the gin.

I'm not into questioning peoples sexuality, it's your call, but I will question your taste buds because gin is just awful shit. :lol:

The wife drinks gin as well so we’ll head there tomorrow for a day session with friends.
As for price I’ve been too most of the craft breweries here in and around Adelaide so I’m sure the prices are similar here anyway.

I’ll get my draught(Carlton or WED) fix at the footy Saturday as I’m heading over to watch wallaroo play.


Going there this arvo, might take the treadly. Craft beers can be a bit pricey but they do provide great ideas and options for the home brewer.

Was talking to the Bro in law about him getting a distill set up.
I'd do the beer and he can do that.

You are drinking the wrong stuff then.
Admittedly there are some absolutely awful ones out there but a good gin is amazing.

I'm hanging to rip the scab off my Prohibition bottle.

Mrs Boon is trying to be trendy with the rest of you, there's about 8 bottles of the shit at home ranging from $70 to $110 bottles, 78°, Applewood, Prohibition, Red Hen, I hear all about how great they are.

They aren't

A lot of front bar customers who I definately wouldn't question their sexuality drink gin occassionally.
Never tried it but love the smell of it.

Just arrived at wallaroo and the kids said can we go into the brewery.
Who am I to argue.

Been to quite a few Gin places over the last 12 months due to the Mrs getting into it, have found a lot of them to be pretty ordinary, but Sepplesfield in the Barossa is clearly the best Ive been to, great set up also.

Mate, how cool is that place, in the middle of nowhere, very casual and funky without any effort.

Tried tonic and its awful though.

Tonic is garbage, I'll get some sugar free tonic for visitors or a difference but a good gin should have it's own flavour, soda water for me, a bit of lime in a pub as they'd probably stock Gordon's.

At home I'll just have some soda water with dehydrated apple, very refreshing and I wake up as good as gold.
