Baltika 8 and vodka
The man in the stan is reaching the end of his span, and will be home this weekend.
Diligent to the last, he's found sufficient time to fit in one final beer test: the Baltika 8, which (as you will recall) is a wheat beer. Unfortunately, he didn't really rate it any better than the Czech 12% beer, and had to wash the taste away with a large vodka orange.
Apparently, the vodka there is not sold in measures of volume as it is here. Instead, it is done in measures of weight: 50g, 100g, 200g (ok, ok: mass). I'm not sure how this corresponds to volume measures - a standard UK pub measure is only 25ml, but vodka also looks like it must weigh less than water. Which would mean that a 50g measure is more than 50ml. Perhaps I should experiment with this at home...
