    Gotta agree with the "boiling soda", usually an ipa of some sort

    That sounds delicious. Wish I had more time to do some brewing.

    Kona coffee or water when doing the dangerous/critical stuff like boiling, splitting wood, final finishing. Maple Porter when doing all the other stuff like collecting sap/bottling/cleaning equipment. A slug of any decent whiskey only as needed here and there to dull the aches - world's best medicine.

    It is pretty funny, I have had people stop by to "help" with the boiling on a Saturday or whatever. Drink all day and by 7:00pm they are falling asleep in a chair by the fire pit while I am working well into one in a series of 16 hour days. One of the reasons I prefer to just do this project alone and decline offers of help.
    Been that, done there.

    Coffee made with sap rather than water, I like to have a few adult beverages in the sugar shack but don't while cooking anymore after I scorched the pan once and that happened sober to many things to watch to not be my sharpest

    I'll have a beer once in awhile, but I got to say my favorite beverage is ice cold Mtn Dew, has to be a 12oz can too, don't like the big cans and won't even consider it in a plastic bottle.I know I'm strange. Otherwise water.
