I know it’s not bourbon or beer, but I thought it was interesting nonetheless. It’s an artichoke liqueur.
In the last post, we covered digestivs. We listed a few famous ones, but we neglected Cynar. Cynar is a liqueur that happens to feature artichokes (Cynara scolymus), of all things.
Although most people associate fruits and grains with alcohol beverage production — well before vegetables — the use of vegetables is extremely common. Potatoes and beets are widely used to make spirits. I don’t see a lot of artichoke wines, or those made from potatoes or beets, but here is at least one vegetable wine.

Well, It’s been a while since I’ve done an entry (sober anyway) so here we go. I usually use quite a lot of profanity and I have received some complaints so I shall and try to keep this one PG-13, Boo. I have had a fairly long Christmas break, especially with the extra week for the water leaks in Jackson. So, What did I do to entertain myself? Well, I brewed and drank beer. I have brewed four IPA’s. I brewed a double IPA, Tripel IPA, Chinook IPA and a clone of Bells Two Hearted. I am still waiting on the Chinook and the double, but let me tell you the others are outstanding. Now, Granted I am a little biased since I brewed them. Would I lie to you? Never.
