Marekv8 Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 After a week of indulging on the road, I kept the ball rolling once back in town with another Foursquare product that's in relatively short supply. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear you but I will happily trade 50ml of product for a broader US selection. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will be less happy when US producers start giving us 50 ml less for the same (or more) cost and the same old crappy (or worse) selection that we have now... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re the Fernet guru but it seems like the Fernet would over power the sherry? Do you think it first than the Ferber and coffee? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marekv8 Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 Black coffee and Bigallet China-China. Took a while for them to figure out what I had ordered and that I desired them in separate vessels, but it all worked out fine. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marekv8 Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 Another night, another round-- and equally as difficult to procure. I always scan and note the bar when entering a restaurant-- and recently have been aggressively challenged as to the offerings on hand. Funny stuff… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigRich Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 After following this thread for awhile, I finally gave the coffee and Fernet Branca a try some months ago after a particularly heavy meal. I was immediately sold. Not a daily thing for me but a great digestif. So flash forward to dinner on 12/3 with a friend and another particularly heavy meal. I order the Fernet again and he's seen me do this a few times by this point and decides to have one too. He was surprised at how much he enjoyed it and the curative powers as a digestif. Monday he texts me a picture from his local liquor store asking "This the one, right?" The ripple effects of these posts continue onward! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guss West Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 I've been meaning to get back to here to share the good news that I recently discovered that I am able to order Underberg by the box or CASE thru amazon. Must be the bitters loophole, as I've ordered twice from a place in Chi Town with no problems. Bought the metal tin 12-pack for shelf display and the case to refill it as needed. I missed you in Manhattan a couple weeks ago Dave. Hope to buy you a pour in 2022! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do the exact same thing in regard to the case purchase and tin display— except I have a second tin to hold the used caps. I’ve almost got enough saved to score the Underberg truck with musical trailer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
