A Pint Of Guinness

At least I think its a pint..! Once you get into a Guinness store you are spoilt for choice, not only regarding postcards. I have tasted Guinness once, and that was a long time ago (13+ years) so maybe now I wouldn't find it as odd as I did back then lol In fact I prefer darker brews these days. Cheers!

Absolut Vodka, Taiwan

 

Still so rarely coming across the fab Absolut Vodka ads...very thankful to Yi-Ju for sending these :) (There are actual holes in the 'spy' version ;))

Snails And Spirits, Romania

Love the food-on-the-table scenes! Snails are also popular, not to say a delicacy heh,  here in Dalmatia (my dad is quite a fan but I still haven't dared to try!) but what really caught my attention just now is the drink with a big red pepper dipped in it - until now I just assumed it was wine, but after some investigation I came up with the word pertsivka, which is horilka with, well, peppers. Horilka is Ukrainian national drink (destilled from grain) and this card depicts 'culinary Bucovina', which is the region divided between Ukraine and Romania. In any case, would love to try either, or both :) Thank you Daniela!

Many Flavours Of Absolut Vodka

I guess I am progressing ever so slowly with my humble collection of Absolut Vodka cards :) Upon googling I realised just how many great ideas there are for these ads, would love to get more...

Many thanks to Vicky from Russia and J.J. from the US :))

Absolut Disco

An offer on shiny Absolut card was not to be missed - thank you Yi-Ju! :)

Kentucky Mint Julep

A wonderful surprise, two bourbon cards from Kentucky! Or rather the recipe for Churchill Down's signature drink Mint Julep, which consists of bourbon, water, sugar, mint leaves and crushed ice. Sounds like a perfect drink for these humid summer nights! I'll have to find some mint leaves somewhere ;) Thank you plenty Bryon!! And for the gorgeous animal stamps too :)

Belgian Beers

Another great card from the great Round Robin - straight from my album of favourites into my postcard box :) I have heard of Belgian beer, i mean it is THE beer to have - and yet i havent tried any..! ohoh but i am lying, i've just spotted one that i actually tried, the Hoegaarden! A few years back as i was working in Zadar my biggest joy was to go to this great supermarket which had things never seen before - among them, foreign beer brands not available in 'normal' shops. You see, Croatia produces its own quality beers, so there is not much need to err from the safe path ;) But i want to try many different things, and although am even not that keen on beer altogether, seeing all those bright bottles on the shelf  tickled my fancy heh.

Seeing this card has a similar effect! I wish i could try one new brand every day for the next few weeks..:)

Thank you natasha/SeaMaiden for looking into my favourites!

Very nice stamps too :=D
