Everyday Drinking: A Book We Can Get Behind

Speaking of Groomsmen gifts .... here's another one they can really use.

A gift for anyone who loves good liquor and high-proof prose: a collection of hilarious and deeply informed writings about drink from one of the all-time authorities.
Kingsley Amis was one of the great masters of comic prose, and no subject was dearer to him than the art and practice of imbibing. This new volume brings together the best of his three out-of-print works on the subject. Along with a series of well-tested recipes (including a cocktail called the Lucky Jim) the book includes Amis's musings on The Hangover, The Boozing Man's Diet, What to Drink with What, and (presumably as a matter of speculation) How Not to Get Drunk--all leavened with fun quizzes on the making and drinking of alcohol all over the world. Mixing practical know-how and hilarious opinionation, this is a delightful cocktail of wry humor and distilled knowledge, served by one of our great gimlet wits.

Brutul Lagerhead

Looking for ideas for Five Points Brain Tank this week, imagine how excited I was to find Lagerhead Brütül featured in Boing Boing this week - thanks to Liquor Snob who is always on top of cool and fun things beverage related.

Brütül (brew tool) is the ultimate device for creating the classic Black and Tan and other delicious layered beers and I heard it through the grapevine that a favorite Athens beer entrepreneur is behind bringing it to retail.

You can definitely find Brütül at Five Points Bottle Shop. As a matter of fact, a guy was in the store just the other day buying 6 of them for his groomsmen. What a great present for the guys in your wedding - something they can really use!!

Recycled Glass from Old Windshields

Handmade in Colombia of recycled glass from old car windshields, these pilsner beer glasses are sure to add "dangerous curves" to any bar collection.

Sturdy and strong, these heavy glasses have a slight green hue from the tint originally added to lessen the sun's glare.

Beautiful and interesting, these glasses will please everyone from the environmentalist to the car enthusiast. Each is one of a kind and will vary.
