beer Being Crafty

I just popped this bottle that my buddy brought me back from Cusco, Peru last month. It's supposed to be an apertif/aphrodisiac. Hopefully I don't start tripping balls in the next hour or so...cuz I gotta work in the morning

Is it wine?

I didn't know at first, since almost everything is written in quechua on the label.

I hit up my friend, and he said it is an anisado. So, it's some type of aguardiente, with a ton of anise. It's actually pretty good, but the ABV must be out of this world, because one snifter got me ripped. Probably 170+ proof, based on my previous experiences with moonshine.
 
The crazy part is that my friend came through with this anisado, and a bunch of bottles of pisco, but his Peruvian fiancee got searched at entry of Dulles, and all of the seeds she brought back were confiscated. I know plenty of people that have brought back seeds from Peru, but no one has been harassed and robbed by the TSA before...until now.

IDK. I have a lot of Peruvian friends, so I always ask them for seeds, when they have family visiting from Peru, or they are visiting Peru. When something grows well for me, I share it with the community at large here on THP. Who knows what was coming in, in this case. I asked for any Puescens cultivars, cacho de cabra, and pipi de mono.

I need a solid recipe for that yellow sauce that is eaten with everything, especially the rotisserie chickens.

Heading to Wash DC soon.  Any recommendations for local craft beer that I should be on the look out for?

If you are going to be in the City, I would recommend Churchkey.

http://churchkeydc.com

There are a lot of great breweries in surrounding areas of DC, like Northern Virginia, and Maryland. You would have to travel outside the city to get to them, though.

Churchkey gets a lot of the good local stuff, plus beers from some other great NE breweries.

That draft list is pretty stacked, like always.
