Drinks That Remind You of Places (Efes)

[Scunner]

Something to do with Turkey I guess  

Having an Efes in the UK immediately transports me immediately to Turkey, and a bottle of Black Sheep in Perth takes me to Harrogate.

Do other members have similar beer experiences?

OH agrees.... Efes reminds him of Turkey....Black Sheep reminds him of where it's brewed..Masham/ midleham ....lurverly place....

[Toky]

Limoncello transports my mind back to days when we holidayed in Sorrento, from our hotel on the rocks looking over the bay of Naples and the Amalfi coast.

 Me too Toky, we were in the Hotel Bristol when I had my first limoncello!

Efes - Turkey of course but more specifically Bozburun which is where I got very drunk on it late 1 night!

Red Stripe - Jamaica, my spiritual home.

Not beer but...

Vanilla Milk Shake (thick with ice cream not some watery concoction out of a bottle) - America where I holidayed as a child, never had 1 so good since!

Southern Comfort & Lime - Hickstead (between Brighton & Gatwick), was dating the barmaid of a local nightclub at the time, they had a SC promotion night, I was given a bottle so drunk it, never touched it since!

Sorry to digress Supercabby, but when I see a post if yours somehow I always think of Lance.

Sorry to digress (2) but what hotel in Sorrento Toky?

[Colwyn]

Margarita - Hilary enjoying a cocktail at the splendid harbourside in Kyrenia (N. Cyprus).

Aperol Spritz - Palau, Northern Sardinia (just about the only good thing to say about the place, except for going to La Maddelena island).

Vin blanc de cassis - our first trip to France.


Rum and black - Newcastle, my nineteenth birthday, never touched the filthy muck since.

Me too Toky, we were in the Hotel Bristol when I had my first limoncello!
