Mohn Mohn, mountains and mead.

I try and have a few glasses of mead whenever I attend the local renaissance fair. It's frightfully expensive, but it's so delicious. They have one fermented with hibiscus that is absolutely divine!

Wow hibiscus!! The only one I've tried was a basic one with honey. Costs about 15 Euros. It is so delicious!! It's my first time trying it. I also had Zirberl (Austrian pinecone alcohol)- that's amazing too!!

Yeah, we spend $5 USD for about 200mL at the faire.

Oh yeah that is pretty pricey 😣😣 alcohol in Europe (mainly Germany and Austria) is comparatively cheaper!! Malaysia- where I'm from has horrendous alcohol taxation.

Most other alcohol isn't nearly as bad. The upper shelf whiskeys and rums I usually purchase are around $20-30USD for a 750mL bottle. Something like Gray Goose goes for around $30 for 750mL.

I just checked a bottle of Gray goose for us in Malaysia costs more than 70 USD 😭😭 Man our alcohol taxations are seriously skyhigh.

And Gray Goose isn't cheap, either. It's pretty good stuff.
