A curious palimpsest here, where it appears that the earlier horizontal Dubonnet piece was painted out to create two panels on the wall for later signs.

It's from Dole in France, but I don't have any more precise location details than that. Perhaps someone that knows the area could help?

This is 1/2 (other below) sent to me by Ian Dennis.

I can’t think of a single crown corporation that was privatized and resulted in a net benefit to taxpayers or consumers.

@taco

FWIW, the government did this exact thing - except the Saskatchewan and Gaming Authority had exclusive control of all sales, not just beer. Just in the last couple of years that started to loosen up, and more recently they shut down the SLGA-owned-and-operated retail locations.

The result? Better selection, lower prices. still has exclusive control of wholesale, so vendors can't just import and sell anything they want, but it's better than it was.

Cheers, definitely! KetelOne Expresso Martini Cocktail. Whoa, this is a winner. Impulse buy at Costco today. If you like strong coffee whether hot or iced, this premix with vodka and coffee liquor is outstanding. I have no idea why it should be shaken 15 seconds with ice. Poured over ice from the bottle is fine.

There was almost a crisis yesterday. I was down to literally my last shot of #booze. (The 52%/104 proof tea-infused liquor.) And while I had its replacement on the way, it hadn't yet arrived so I was feeling a bit nervous at facing #sobriety while I waited.

But the #delivery company came through! And by 1030hrs I had in my hands a 2.5l (!) container of 68%/136 proof (!!) #Mongolian #liquor!

This is one of two Mongolian brands I really like. It's powerful stuff, but because #sorghum is such a kick to the head, flavour-wise, the super-high #alcohol concentration doesn't actually mask the flavour. It just kills brain cells dead. Really dead. Really fast. This is booze that verges on #HandSanitizer levels. (Hand sanitizers here, at any rate, start at 70%.)

A 2.5l "hip flask" is unwieldy to use, so I decanted it into a 700ml bottle. As soon as I opened that flask the room filled with the scent of sorghum molasses and open flame. My immediate vicinity was filled almost instantaneously, it seemed, and the office space in just a few seconds. (There are a lot of aromatics in Chinese liquors.)

The best part of this for me is that because Mongolians aren't Han, people here don't value their stuff much outside of the stereotypical: beef, milk products, etc. So, although flavour-wise I'd pit this against any mid-grade #baijiu that isn't Luzhou or Maotai style and it would likely win, this monstrosity of a flask set me back the equivalent of just a bit under US$10.

Including shipping.
