What's up with all these "tini" drinks? It's nothing like a martini. Get a different name. Flavored vodka? But the real question I have. The one that keeps me up at night: WHEN DID IT BECOME OK TO SIP YOUR DRINK THROUGH THE STIRRER STRAW?
The one in bold is the only one I can really comment on. If you like beer and you like a wide variety of different beers, then yes. I like being a bit of a locavore, meaning I like local products to eat and drink. So my local craft/micro breweries treat me right. They can have the same style of beer you are used to drinking just with their own twist.
As for the rest: I am right there with you, martinis are gin and vermouth, stop that shit; I'm not a fan of vodka to begin with, but maybe that it why they add flavor (at least for the cheap ones) so it can taste a little bit less like ass; who the **** does that?
