No Assembly Required

Once shots x 2 have been acquired, I can begin thinking about going out and doing even mundane things like buying a bedside table that I can unleash a volley of curses at while constructing. That experience would be made better if I could have some Omnipollo beer first. Doubt that the Burbank megastore will be on the distribution list but a beer fan can dream.

Vintersaga

Move over hard seltzer, I bring you the next big thing in beverages. Vintersaga.  “A Swedish-style festive drink, carbonated malt and hops flavored beverage”. Straight from the Ikea marketplace of primarily lingonberries. This winter seasonal does not have a good aroma.  Off- putting cherry cola would be my guess.  First taste is straight up cough medicine. Woo boy this is sweet. The ingredients list says natural hops flavor and natural barley malt flavors but neither is in much evidence.  I think that even kids would blanch at this amount of sugar and ask for water afterwards.

Some Assembly (not) Required

If you happen into a British IKEA, you might stumble upon this in the food section amongst the lingonberries….

Yup, ÖL LJUS LAGER can be purchased for 1.75 in English pounds. At 4.7%, it probably won’t help alleviate the pain or frustration of some Ikea building projects.
