    Default Do you drink what your ancestors drank? (No inaccurate assumptions plz...)

    Also, do you have a hard time with what other people drink?

    I can not drink red wine, I think the taste is fine, but it always gives me a hangover and a poor, strange drunk. Can drink white (Ancestry from a beer/white wine mixed region partially), but even this very rarely do.

    I've determined that despite what experts say about "darker beers, darker spirits, higher temp fermented ales vs cooler temp fermented lagers" and that the first three have more hangover causing components - I will do best if I drink british/belgian ales (lots of yeast species usage crossover over the centuries there) and a good drunk on whiskey is really not so bad. Wine is always considerably worse than any of these.

    I am a very experienced homebrewer, and near pro-drinker, so sorry if I come across as arrogantly all-knowing in this subject.


    Now your turn: but by no inaccurate assumptions, or at least a learning point for you, I mean saying "I'm french and i love wine" "I'm russian i only drink vodka". Sorry to break it to you, but those statements are not certainly true potentially if you look at exactly what region your ancestors lived in for a significant amount of time. Russia's love of widespread love of vodka is relatively new, pushed as a sort of drug by the bolsheviks. and interestingly enough, while some regions of france have of course always been wine producing, many were for the longest time until the early 20th century, primarily cider, distilled drinks or beer drinkers, especially for the common people. Irish "style" stout (NO NITRO PLEASE...) is somewhat new, with whiskey being better bang for ones buck for a significant period of time until the mid 1800s.

    In any case, I'm drinking a homebrewed 4.2% bitter with kent golding and a small amount of nugget hops now.

    Not really because the beer and the red wines I like can't be found in Ireland or Romania. I like Romania moonshine (tuica) but it's hard to get in the US.

    SE european moonshine is better quality than the mega-conglomerate produced stuff no matter how much they call whatever product "premium". the perception of distilled beverages is completely messed up in most of the world.

    I drink about 2 litres of slivovitz a year

    yes, in 2020. Thankful, that I can get good quality for cheap price ger pils, helles, and weisses. but again,

    "It was not until 1906 that the law was applied consistently across all of Germany, and it was not formally referred to as Reinheitsgebot until the Weimar Republic."

    rice was used in northern germany, mumme beers had ground beans and peas in them and were simply massive wine strength brews. The only beer in the entire world I need could be from England and Germany exclusively, but I feel like the reinheitsgebot restricted german brewing creativity.

    A true stout made with roasted barley + all malt grain and no additives does not fit within the reinheitsgebot for example. Imagine living without stout.
