Books and Booze

The Mistress will try to pull herself together in the days to come to discuss the books of July/August in The 2016 Infomaniac Book Challenge.



In the meantime, help yourself to a book and booze pairing. Bram Stoker's Dracula and a Bloody Mary, for example? It's a book you can really sink your teeth into.

Any other book/booze pairing suggestions?

    2. A Herrengedeck goes with any Bukowski.
      Pros drunk it in one go with the little glass over the big one pouring right into the stream of the beer - classy ! Best together with a pack of HB or Eckstein.
