Welcome to the Boozebuddy Update. For you Boozebuddies today I have - Maple Tripple Awards, Patrón 4x Tequila, & Big Brew Day
Maple Tripple Awards have arrived for Lawson’s Finest Liquids. Maple Tripple Ale helped them win a Good Food Award for the second year in a row. Lawson’s Finest Liquids does great community work with their Social Impact Program, donating more than $1.5 million to worthy causes since 2015. Their solar project is also slated to make more than 100% of the brewery’s annual electricity usage. Get more at the link https://tinyurl.com/27v6jnhb
Patrón 4x Tequila, El Cielo, is here. The world’s first four-times distilled agave spirit follows a premiumization of alcohol brands that has been happening across the board. Contrary to popular belief, distilling doesn’t remove or dilute flavors, it actually concentrates them and brings more out. Expect it to cost about $130 a bottle, get more at the link https://tinyurl.com/24acp49z

Welcome to the Boozebuddy Update. For you Boozebuddies today I have - Fever Tree Mix Up, Never Lacking Lagers, & Underdog Upstart Whiskey
Fever Tree Ffff... Mix Up - or is this intentional? I told You about Fever Tree’s Mixers that were released recently in the UK (https://youtube.com/shorts/p1sb5SoKfFA) - If you don’t recall they were an Espresso Martini, Margarita, and Mojito. I said we needed answers, but now I have more questions. Fever Tree announced for the US a Bloody Mary Mixer, Classic Margarita Mixer, and Light Margarita Mixer. Get the details on the new US mixers at the link https://tinyurl.com/224v6mgy
Never Lacking Lagers, with this list of the delectable and crushable beers. Löwenbräu is probably one of the most classic beers on here. Jack’s Abbey House Lager is a classic new brew, the same goes for Firestone Walker’s Pivo Pils. Old Aggie, Moonlight Brewing Co’s Death and Taxes, and a Schwarzbier called Yellowhammer Midnight Special are here too. The list doesn’t end there though and why should it?

Underdog Upstart Whiskey competes. That’s the word on Dixon Dedman’s new 2XO whiskey brand, that’s said to stand up against much higher-priced bottles of bourbon. Dedman was the master blender and cofounder of Kentucky Owl & left a few years after Stoli acquired the brand. As the story goes “The name 2XO means “two times oak.” Admittedly, the palate punch that results isn’t for everyone. Learn more at the link https://tinyurl.com/2azl6clq

Not Your Moms Tea.

It will be a non-carbonated beverage with 5% ABV using a malt base, real fruit flavors and real Lipton brewed tea.

00:00 - Welcome to the Boozebuddy Update. For you Boozebuddies today I have - Elvis Midnight Snack, Is Wade Boggs Cool Blue, & Kings County Coffee
00:17 - Elvis Midnight Snack, as everyone knows was a sandwich with bananas, peanut butter, and bacon grease. If you want all the tastes with none of the sandwich - you’re in luck. Elvis Whiskey is releasing their flavored Midnight Snack whiskey. It packs a little kick along with all of those flavors at 70 proof. Not too pricey though as it’s going to cost about $35 a bottle. It should be available just about everywhere, details at the link https://tinyurl.com/23y8pqc7
01:03 - Is Wade Boggs Cool Blue? Seems like a fair question, but at the same time - do we need to check? According to Wade Boggs, we definitely do. The former baseball star teamed up with Pabst Blue Ribbon to make a mockumentary-looking video full of almost conspiracies that sure make it look like Check the link to see his demands from PBR and let's get Justice for Wade! https://boggsisblue.com/

02:08 - Kings County Coffee - the distillery from Ney York State has created a flavored whiskey they say is as well suited for pouring a late-night neat as it is for cocktails. Parlor Coffee whiskey was created with better ingredients, clocks in at 40% ABV, and should cost about $40 around most of the country.

Welcome to the Boozebuddy Update. For you Boozebuddies today I have - Beer Fit for a King, Flippin Breweries, & FU Whiskey
Beer Fit for a King is about to be sold. What king? They were to be served at the coronation of King Edward VIII, but he never became king.

Welcome to the Boozebuddy Update. For you Boozebuddies today I have - Slingers Canned Cocktails, Black and Tan & Keg Kings
Slingers Canned Cocktails are set to deploy from Boston Beer Company. It’s a malt-based beverage coming in a 24-ounce can and three flavors - Bahama Mama, Peach Screwdriver, and Pineapple Punch. The Slingers Signature Cocktails with 8% ABV will initially release in New Hampshire, Cleveland, & Pittsburgh. If it goes well, expect this to be released in more areas - or fizzle out. Get more on the new approach and product at the link https://tinyurl.com/2c86grtg
Black and Tan. The beer-based cocktail has a bit of a controversy, so sometimes referred to as a Half & Half. It’s two beers in one, answering the question of ‘which beer?’ with ‘why not both!’. You pour the lighter beer in first, and then very gently and slowly pour the dark half over the backside of a spoon. Don’t mix the two & get a nice defined layer of each and you’ve done it. Get more on the beer cocktail at the link https://tinyurl.com/26pxlyaj

Welcome to the Boozebuddy Update. For you Boozebuddies today I have - Lifting Liquid Limits, Juicy IPAs, & Wines for Malbec Day
Airports Lifting Liquid Limits? London City Airport was the first to drop the limit on up to two liters of fluid, that’s about 67 ounces. Better imaging and detection are to thank, so the hope is that, as other airports upgrade, this will roll out. TSA - we’re looking at you. Hopefully, this rule change bleeds into the states. I want to bring wine or beer with me, for friends. Mostly. Get more at the link and lets make this happen. https://www.cntraveler.com/story/london-city-airport-carry-on-liquids
Juicy IPAs! I have a list that should bring you some happiness - or hoppyness and juicyness anyway. At the top of this list - #3 is Sloop Brewing’s aptly named Juice Bomb. #2 is No-Li Big Juicy. #1 is New England Brewing and Fuzzy Baby Ducks. Does it deliver on the tropical juice bomb? They say it opens into mangos, papaya, passionfruit, and bright, citrus notes and a final flourish of lightly bitter, dank hops. I gotta try!

00:00 - Welcome to the Boozebuddy Update. For you Boozebuddies today I have - NA Beer Ranked, Spirited RTDs, & Drone Tequila Farms
00:15 - NA Beer Ranked, from worst to first. This isn’t an exhaustive list - but commonly available ones. Budweiser is at the bottom of this list, Heineken didn’t fare better, but Guinness made #6. Weihenstephaner Hefeweissbier #5. Untitled Art #4, Partake Red #3 and Mikkeller in the #2 spot with Limbo Raspberry. At the #1 spot, Athletic Brewing Company’s Run Wild IPA. NA options continue to improve, and that’s good for any sober curious or non drinkers. Get the full list at the link. https://tinyurl.com/2mmv89qs
01:10 - Spirited RTDs are coming from Topo Chico. Bonus, there are vodka and tequila versions of “Topo Chico Spirited”. As consumers have asked, the ready-to-drink cocktails use simple ingredients; real spirits, real juice, and filtered sparkling water for three variations - Tequila & Lime ranch water, Tequila & Grapefruit Paloma, and Vodka & Lemon Chilton. The launch will take place across 22 states and should start appearing the week of April 17th. More at the link https://tinyurl.com/2lw3paad

02:20 - Drone Farms are a reality. Not growing drones, the drones are growing agave. Tequila keeps growing and that means agave needs to grow, so farming needs to be more efficient while growing. The Drones work at night and early morning, with two-thirds less water is being used, and fewer tractors disturbing the plants, making more tequila. Link for more. https://tinyurl.com/2mbavzf7

Welcome to the Boozebuddy Update. For you Boozebuddies today I have - Rare Pappy Auction, White Castle IPA, & Red Wine Cocktails
Rare Pappy Auction is about to get underway in the UK for bottles from the days of Stitzel-Weller distillery. That shop was closed down in 1972. The auction bidding will start at over $9,000. Something tells me - this collection is going to sell for more than that! Share your guesses with me below. More at the link https://tinyurl.com/2aafxcmd
White Castle IPA is back. The house of sliders has once again teamed up with Evil Genius Brewing. This time it’s Main Character Energy a Kiwi Dragonfruit IPA. For some of you lucky folks, this will be available not just where Evil Genius is sold, but also available for delivery right to your door. Yes, I’m jealous. Six-packs of the beer will sell for a suggested retail price of about $12, and it comes in at 6% ABV. If it’s not on shelves yet, it will be soon.

Red Wine Cocktails are a thing you should be experimenting with. Why? Simply because they are fantastic and it is a great way to use some wine that might be slightly past its prime, or it’s not that great but you could turn it into something great. If you like whiskey sours, try a New York Sour, hot toddy or a mulled wine? Glogg in the microwave. Something to celebrate the warm weather - how about a Tinto de Verano which means “summer red wine”. For the full list of 14, with recipes, at the link https://mixthatdrink.com/red-wine-cocktails/

Welcome to the Boozebuddy Update. For you Boozebuddies today I have - Beyond Bud Light, Single Distillery Series, Vermont Beer Collab
Beyond Bud Light. That's where many beer drinkers are looking after recent calls for a boycott. I am finding it interesting what people are searching for to replace the Bud Light. The big winner in this seems to be Sam Adams - crushing it against rivals like Stella Artois, Coors, Miller, regular Budweiser, Michelob, and Corona. Montana, Wyoming, and South Dakota top the charts in searching for a replacement beer. Gotta wonder though, will this ‘bad press’ long-term help? Get more at the link - https://tinyurl.com/23qfygd8
Single Distillery Series from Lost Lantern American Whiskey maker has been announced. The new series launches with three whiskies, all American single malts: “Gentle Giant” Balcones Distilling Texas Single Malt, “Desert Dessert” Whiskey Del Bac Arizona Single Malt, and “Mega Mesquite” Whiskey Del Bac Arizona Single Malt. Each 750ml bottle has a suggested retail price of $100. Get more on this release at the link https://tinyurl.com/267ll22n

Vermont Beer Collab from Mill River Brewing and 14th Star Brewing. The first beer in the “St. Albans Series” is Maple City Blonde. This first one was produced at 14th Star, and the beer-making will rotate for each new beer in the series. Each will use local ingredients like maple syrup, VT Malt House, and Champlain Valley Hops. Expect at least three bears a year from the collab, including Oktoberfest! Get more at the link! https://tinyurl.com/2yxou6ky

Welcome to the Boozebuddy Update. For you Boozebuddies today I have - Brewers Joke Backfires, Bar Rescue Bourbon, & Perfectly Prepped Martinis
Brewers Joke Backfires! Loads of people had issues on April Fools Day, but it was for jokes that were in poor taste. Genessee, however, pulled a prank that people completely bought into. They offered up an image of a cucumber Kolsch and received requests from all kinds of people to get it done! What do you think? Would you drink a cucumber beer? Check the link for more https://wyrk.com/genesee-beer-joke/
Bar Rescue Bourbon from the man who tears bars down to build them back up! John Taffer has put his name on Taffer’s Browned Butter Bourbon. The 40% ABV Bourbon offers a rich, nutty flavor profile with notes of vanilla and toffee for a decadent experience. Taffer's is being released in Boston and Nevada for about $35 with other markets to follow soon. Look for a special event in Boston to introduce this to more people soon.

Perfectly Prepped Martinis? I have my doubts, but Grey Goose says they have perfected the portable martini. It’s simple, and easy to make as it’s crafted with only three premium ingredients--GREY GOOSE vodka, dry French vermouth, and a dash of orange bitters. Each 750ml bottle, serves 8-10 Classic Martinis over ice and garnished with an olive or lemon twist. Grey Goose is rolling out nationwide for about $17 for a 375ml bottle, and about $30 for a 750ml bottle. All the details at the link https://tinyurl.com/2j223hvo

Welcome to the Boozebuddy Update. For you Boozebuddies today I have - Sour Beers, Winemaking Magic, & World’s Best Whisky
Sour Beers - the top 15! They’re not for everyone. I will offer this bit of sage advice - if you want to try some, try it a bottle share with others, and bring a beer you know you like - just in case. Hill Farmstead, as no one should be surprised, has one here. Brouwerij 3 Fonteinen brewery also has one at the top of this list. At the very top - if you like sour beer - you already know this name. Cantillon. It’s one of the few sour beers where people wait until it comes out to pounce and buy as much as they can. Find the top 15 at the link! https://www.tastingtable.com/1233595/popular-sour-beers-ranked/
Winemaking Magic, if you believe the writer of this story, is in the land of New Mexico. The locals say the aquifer fed vineyard has ‘holy water’ to thank for the end result, also helped by rains that come at just the right time The land consists of over 600,000 acres at 4,000–6,000 feet above sea level in the southwestern corner of the state, producing about 300,000 cases of wine a year - but planting more each year. Keep your eye on this region and get more at the link https://www.winemag.com/2023/03/30/mimbres-new-mexico-ava/

Moonshine Slushies - yeah slushies have grown up! The adult versions of slushies have become a hit at major sports attractions and are reinventing flavored moonshine. Moonshine Slushies are available at a growing number of bars and restaurants, and now stadiums at the home of the Florida Marlins, the Tampa Bay Rays, and a number of Minor League Baseball locations in the south as well. Sip Shine is available for consumers in 30 states and growing or can be ordered at their website www.sipshine.com
Japanese Whiskey! If you’re looking for a bit of a change in your whiskey, hunt down a bottle of the 100% real Japanese Whiskey Teitessa. They didn’t just copy what a lot of scotch whiskey makers were doing, they made the "Sato still" to capture more of the heart and spirit of the beverage, and not simply speed up the process. You have to respect that dedication from this 60-year-old company. Find out more at the link, but don’t say I didn’t warn you. https://tinyurl.com/2kz3krdt

Welcome to the Boozebuddy Update. For you Boozebuddies today I have - Level Up Wine, Daniels vs Spaniels, & Best Breweries
Level Up your red wine drinking with these tips to get the most flavor out of your bottle. It’s actually pretty amazing how flat red wine can taste if it’s too chilled, you tried to drink it without aeration, and you have it in the wrong glass. Let thatwine breathe, allow the temperature to come up, and have it in the proper glass - it could be your favorite wine. Click the link to get more from your reds https://sonomawinegarden.com/how-to-make-red-wine-taste-better/
Daniels vs Spaniels! Jack Daniels, who believes they are defending the trademark of their Old No 7 brand. This battle began when VIP products came out with their Bad Spaniels squeaky toy that used a similar shape, font, and black label on their dog toy to parody the whiskey with some low-brow humor. Parody is usually protected, but did this one go too far? Get up to speed at the link https://www.cnn.com/2023/03/21/politics/jack-daniels-bad-spaniels-dog-toy-supreme-court/index.html

For you Boozebuddies today I have - Powdered Beer, Vodka Bettering , & Bartender Recommended Rye for National Cocktail Day
Powdered Beer, from Germany? Well, actually this is not entirely beer, it has zero alcohol, but it sounds like it tastes a lot like beer, looks a lot like beer, and it’ll froth and foam up like a beer - once you do add some water. The testing phase will go through the middle of 2023, and then alcohol should be added to the mix as it scales up. Skepticism is expected, but if they can overcome that, cheers? Hit the link for more https://newatlas.com/lifestyle/powdered-beer/
Vodka Bettering - by White Claw. They sure have grown up and some bettering. Or, maybe gimmicking? They’ve created the world's first Triple Wave Filtered™ vodka. The first-of-its-kind filtration process uses tremendous pressure equal to three 30-foot waves to create a vodka with distinctive taste, aroma, and smoothness. Vodka is being chased by rum for the number one spot, maybe this will be enough to hold onto it. More at the link https://tinyurl.com/2ef4bg33

Bartender Recommended Ryes for your cocktails. I always trust those slinging spirits daily to know what people don’t send back and people are willing to pay for again and again. So this list of Rye Whiskeys can be relied on to be the backbone of your next mixed beverage. No surprise that you’ll recognize names - like WhistlePig Small Batch 10-year and Russell’s Reserve 6-year. But did you expect that Wild Turkey 101 would make the list too?

Welcome to the Boozebuddy Update. For you Boozebuddies today I have - Alcohol Moovement, Vino’s Underdogs & Curry Bourbon
The Alcohol Moovement might have finally landed. This was an idea I first saw kicked around on Fingers (https://www.fingers.email/p/heres-an-idea-hard-milk) then Twitter by Dave Infante, and it’s hard milk. Milk, with booze as lactose can be converted into alcohol. Whey based alcohol seems to live in a grey area of laws. The riches are in the niches - to dig into this niche, click the link https://vinepair.com/articles/dairy-based-alcohol/
Vinos Underdogs. There are plenty of wines that go unrecognized by you every day. You might be walking up to a rosé, passing right by a Ramato. Are you moving aside an Aglianico to grab that Cabernet? Have you even heard of Mt Etna? These are your wine underdogs.

Welcome to the Boozebuddy Update. For you Boozebuddies today I have - 3 in 1, Wine Hack, & Light Lagers FTW 3 in 1 - a cup that holds 3 drinks has been devised by a college kid and it’s leaving the world wondering why we didn’t do this before? The Mesa college area has been taken by storm, or by ‘WesCup’ the creation of 19 year old Wes Renda. “Wes thought of his creative idea at the age of 11.

No Boil Beer? I was doubting this was real as I was reading, Southern Tier has found a way to skip the energy intensive process. Not to say the beer isn’t heated at all, but the way it’s heated is more like the way products are pasteurized. That ensures any bad microbes are destroyed, but it preserves some of the benefits that Southern Tier discovered, especially in the flavors of their Hazy IPA.

Origami Sake has opened a new 22,000 square foot operation, right in the center of America's rice crop - Arkansas. Did you know that nearly 50% of the US rice is grown there? Well, it’s a great coincidence that the water is also great for rice, with a mineral content and pH similar to rice growing regions in Japan. The timing of the Hot Springs operation appears to be spot-on too, as Sake demand and production have been steadily growing outside of Japan in recent years.

Welcome to the Boozebuddy Update. For you Boozebuddies today I have - BORG Update, Cold IPAs, & Finger Lakes Wine
The BORG trend continues and it got worse! On a previous episode ( https://youtube.com/shorts/BqwQpwhm3_A ) I talked about the alcohol in recipes I’ve seen - commonly a fifth. With fairly standard vodkas - it’s 16 shots worth. That’s 6 more shots than it would take to have put college me into a blackout. Umass Amherst saw 28 students travel by ambulance in one weekend. Get more on this dangerous Tik Tok trend. https://www.insider.com/university-massachusetts-borg-drinking-trend-tiktok-viral-video-parties-ambulances-2023-3
Cold IPAs really picked up steam last year, but still no official description of a Cold IPA. Wayfinder is the creator of the Original Cold IPA and says it’s defined by a simple grain bill tons of new-school hops and it’s, “Clean, clear, and hoppy… We call it Cold IPA because it tastes cold,”. Until there’s an official style - have a little fun experimenting. Check it out and dive in! https://www.hopculture.com/best-cold-ipas/

Welcome to the Boozebuddy Update. For you Boozebuddies today I have - Sunny D RTD, Chat GPT’s AIPA, & Irish Whiskey
Sunny D RTDs with Vodka is launching at select Walmart locations across the country on March 11th, 2023. Everyone who grew up with Sunny D is pretty excited to see the brand coming back to them as adults - and they’re coming as a low-calorie 4.5% ABV vodka seltzer with real juice, zero sugar, and 95 calories. So they should have broad appeal to people looking to pop the top on summer. Click the link for all the details. https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/you-asked-we-delivered-sunnyd-vodka-seltzer-is-here-301764278.html
It was bound to happen - someone used AI to create an IPA or, as it’s being appropriately called, an A.I.P.A. Chat GPT is the computer culprit here and it’s guilty of making a delicious beer. The humans at Atwater Brewery gave Chat GPT a simple request, to brew an American IPA using centennial, citra, amarillo, and melon hops. It also converted the recipe from a home brew scale to the 20-barrel scale needed by the brewery. Check out the AIPA at the link https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-11790015/Anyone-AIPA-Detroit-brewery-lets-ChatGPT-create-latest-BEER.html

Welcome to the Boozebuddy Update. For you Boozebuddies today I have - Super WhistlePig, Beer Hunting, & A Mature Spring Break Party
WhistlePig's 21-Year 'Super-Aged' North American Single Malt Whiskey was instantly collectible - because it already sold out! WhistlePig Béhôlden 21-Year, is being called the "holy grail" of American single malt whiskeys. Beholden comes in at 92 proof and is nestled in an attractive and display-worthy engraved wooden box. People thought it was worth it though because it cost about $800! Get more at the link. https://tinyurl.com/2hd9d4jn

Utopia from Samuel Adams seems unobtainium for some. Get the full list at the link and plan your hunt! https://tinyurl.com/2lgxw5l3

Expanding Noon - as High Noon seltzer is launching a new line of tequila cocktails. Premixed cocktails and tequila were 2022’s two fastest-growing revenue categories (according to DISCUS).

Can’t blame High Noon for wanting in on that action, and realizing the vodka and tequila drinkers have different tastes, but all want real spirits, real juice, and not much else.

Black Bubbly - is a thing. Yes, you can make a cocktail with a stout and your leftover champagne. Whether you call it a black velvet might depend on where you are, or what you put in it. While some people will use a stout like Guinness, you can swap in a porter, even a black lager like Schwarzbier. The creamy, dreamy cocktail allows you to flex, and mix whatever ingredients you have. As a result, there are several variations of the cocktail. Here’s a link with more, or just search online https://www.tastingtable.com/1201152/black-velvet-a-dreamy-cocktail-that-mixes-hearty-stout-and-crisp-champagne/

Desk Decoy! Do you need some time off work? This year Saint Patrick’s Day is on a Friday and Actress Regina Hall (from Malibu’s Most Wanted, Girls Trip, and Scary Movie) is here to help all Irish Whiskey lovers to use their PTO days and make Friday March 17 an SPTO (St. Patrick's Day Time Off) with the help of a custom Jameson "Desk Decoy" — a life-sized version to "stand in" for you this holiday. To order yours head to JamesonSPTO.com before March 3rd.
Binge Pill! Could you use a pill to help decrease the amount of drinking you do? There’s a pill that’s been found effective at reducing the desire to binge on alcohol. It was actually first meant to help wean people off opioids but was found effective in a three-month study to be very effective, along with counseling, to cut down by more than 25% of the excess drinking done by participants. That’s a lot of savings too as the pill costs a fraction of the cost of alcohol, which put about 1/3 of the money people were spending on overindulgence back into their pockets. We’re all about quality, not quantity, and maintaining a healthy relationship with alcohol. It’s why I take a few days off each week. This could end up being a new treatment program for those who aren’t alcoholics, but are prone to excess. If you could use a hand - reach out to SAMSHA at samhsa.gov or 1-800-662-HELP (4357). find out more at the link https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-11749777/Binge-drinking-curbed-1-PILL-taken-hour-going-night-out.html

Brewing, it can’t be that hard, can it? Well yes and no. Home brewing is a bit different from commercial brewing. Some setups, styles, and techniques might take more or less time. Still, the process between most small and big systems is similar. Clean and prep your items, boiling, adding ingredients in the right amounts at the right time, cooling things down, and then cleaning things up while your beer starts the fermenting process. That’s a VAST oversimplification of the process - but if you want to quickly learn a bit more about the process, check out the story at the link https://lancasteronline.com/features/entertainment/how-much-work-goes-into-making-that-glass-of-delicious-beer-we-decided-to-find/article_f23a8dd0-a305-11ed-b8ec-d37333af04c4.html

Valentine’s Bubbly could set your Valentine’s Day on the right track - especially as you’re not spending a bundle for your bubbly. This list has options that range from $7 up to about $30. The price range does give away the fact that some of these aren’t full size bottles, which I consider a good thing. Sometimes raising one glass with your special someone is all you need..

Liqueur Trends are back, as low ABV cocktails have been growing steadily for years, where the liqueur is the only source of alcohol. Since most liqueurs have a fraction of the ABV content of distilled spirits, it means you have a sippable beverage with an infusion of flavors that just isn’t possible without it. Boyden Valley Winery & Spirits, not far from me, shifted to focusing more on their Apple Cinnamon, Maple Cream, and Maple Bourbon Cream Liqueurs, and it’s paying off. Not only are they delicious, but heck - they’re local. Get more on some of the trends at the link, and ask your local bottle shop or bartender for their suggestions https://www.thezoereport.com/living/liqueur-cocktails

Warming Wine seems like a funny thing to do - but during the winter your wine can be downright chilly. The same wine that gets a frozen grape in summer might need a trip to the sauna before it hits your glass now. The article relates it to Goldilocks and the Three Bears & how to find 'just right' without overdoing it. Maybe just cuddle with the bottle if needed?

Brewing Teamwork! It’s happening in Canada and I hope that breweries everywhere are taking note. Typically smaller craft breweries have been locked out of these events, with some exceptions, because the venues are concerned they can’t meet the demand. To get around that craft brewers can go in together on the contract to meet the minimum requirements that have kept contracts elusive in the past. I hope the new model is successful and shows other cities that craft brewers can team up to make this happen.

Welcome to the Boozebuddy Update. For you Boozebuddies today I have - Study Wine, Scotch Cocktails & That’s Not Whiskey
Now hit that like button, subscribe, and let’s crack this open
Study Wine. Sure, the study of wine seems pretty straightforward and not newsworthy. What if you’re not 21? The University of New Hampshire’s Paul College of Business and Economics has a very sought-after course called International Wine and Beverage. They're seeking a law to give students the ok for tasting wine or beer as part of a class at an accredited college or university. Click the link & tell me what you think https://newhampshirebulletin.com/2023/02/02/taste-but-dont-drink-bill-would-let-students-under-21-take-college-wine-and-beer-courses/
Scotch Cocktails. While these two words seem like they don’t belong together I’m here to tell you that they do. There's the Rob Roy, Penicillin, and others I liked. Maybe you will too. Get more on Scotch and cocktails at the link. https://www.epicurious.com/recipes-menus/scotch-cocktails

That’s Not Whiskey - and apparently, it never was. This whole Fireball Whiskey, Fireball Cinnamon, and Sazerac lawsuit issue I’ve talked about continues to keep going. Now We’re hearing the Fireball Whiskey maybe isn’t really whiskey! Interesting read at the link https://thewhiskeywash.com/lifestyle/guess-what-none-of-it-is-whiskey/

Rangers Idiot Owner James Nolan has responded to the NY State Liquor Authority by saying he’s not going to serve alcohol at an upcoming game. This not genius is planning to punish the team, fans, vendors, and most of all the staff who probably work paycheck to paycheck to serve booze. Just goes to show, owning a team, doesn’t mean you’re smart.

Criminally Light Wine is here from 19 crimes. Have you tried the Lighter wine options yet? Would Martha’s Chard (aka Chardonnay) might make you want to dip into the ‘less alcohol’ trend that we’re seeing parallel to the no alcohol beverages? Martha Stewart wants you to consider her when you’re looking to avoid overindulging and the Lighter Chardonney delivers 8.5% ABV and, for those keeping track, 80 calories for each glass.

Oh Canada, the country just north of us pulled the rug out from under a lot of people and sent the world into a tizzy with a recent big change in advice for drinkers. There is no magic number, and the US, Australia, and the UK all differ, but the World Health Organization recently said there’s no safe amount, which Canada seems to suddenly agree with, to the shock of.. well, everyone.

Home Distilling is growing. Ohio is considering a bill to allow each individual in a home to make 200 gallons of personal distilled booze each year without a permit.

In Today's Podcast Sun Ice pouch-style RTD cocktails are showing tremendous growth, Four Roses collabs with OSMO Salt for Valentine's Day Drinks, & Miller Lite and Coors Light duke it out for the Super Bowl!
Sun ICE RTDs launched in 2021 and they’ve been riding the wave of RTDs since, with over 25,000 cases sold. The flexible packs their products are in set them apart and, for some who grew up with beverages in a pouch, it feels a bit retro. The company is part of the same group that created sun shots, so you can take those shots on the go. Distribution will cover at least 1/3 of the US by the end of 2023 with nationwide coverage expected in 2024. https://www.flexpackmag.com/articles/92339-exclusive-q-and-a-with-sunice-co-founder-erik-weller

Absolut Zero is closer than you think, at least when we’re talking about the vodka. They predict they’ll be carbon neutral by 2030 and have pending B-corp status.

The Scottish Government just made pretty much anyone in the alcohol industry really upset. You won’t believe why! This is such an epic fail, it’s laughable. For those not aware yet - The Scottish government just said “Without branding and other marketing strategies, alcohol products in each beverage sub-sector are essentially variations of the same thing”. They doubled down on that ignorant statement with another show of idiotic behavior - the report suggests the prohibition of selling or distributing alcohol-branded merchandise. Check out more on the #EpicFail at the link https://www.thespiritsbusiness.com/2023/01/scottish-government-angers-whisky-trade/

Roxie is a new zero-proof cocktail from Molson Coors, and I’m sharing it with you as part of my continued ‘toe dip’ into Dry January. Roxie is being sold exclusively online. Roxie comes in passionfruit, mango and pineapple flavors, but it’s definitely not juice and doesn’t taste like it either.

Go Lightly, with some alternatives for January (or any time of year) - beverages that don’t hit as hard, but don’t sacrifice flavor. From lighter ABV Light wines, Carb free beers that also hit around 4%, Baileys Light (at about 16%), lighter vodkas, and even martinis that don’t have quite the kick. The availability and the growth in Dry January, and now a Wet or Damp January, means you have options if you want them. Check out the link https://www.refinery29.com/en-us/low-alcohol-drink-beverages
There’s an Agave Alternative, and it’s been harvested already for years in some places. Did you know about sotol in tequila and mezcal? Unlike Agave, which is killed when it’s harvested, the sotol base and root are left behind to regrow. That means more mezcal and tequila, which gets more popular each year. Check the link for more. https://modernfarmer.com/2023/01/sotol/

Dry Shifts To Wet - It seems that dry January is great with long-lasting health benefits. Except when that doesn’t happen. I still am going to say I recommend trying it, even part of the time. Has it worked for you if you’ve tried it? A study has recently shown that enforced abstinence led to a very wet February. So what does this tell us, do Dry January because you choose to and want to - don’t force it. Get more at the link https://www.thespiritsbusiness.com/2023/01/dry-january-leads-to-increased-drinking/
Beer on Fire! Well, it’s called beer anyway, which might surprise you. When you last had a drink of fireball did you consider it beer?

Fireball Cinnamon is in places like supermarkets, gas stations, and other retailers Get more on the story at the link https://vinepair.com/articles/fireball-top-50-beer-brand/

Happy Hot Toddy Day! If you want a simple Hot Toddy to make today, Fishers Island Lemonade is a ready-to-drink beverage that is also ready-to-Toddy. I’ll provide a link to the YouTube video that shows you how to make it right from the source here https://youtu.be/p8PrR6_eCI0. So, about that history - is it from England, India (where it’s called a “Taddy”), or possibly even Ireland? While I sip, do some internet sleuthing at the link https://www.tastingtable.com/1150064/the-disputed-origin-of-the-hot-toddy/
Hack or Whack? Sometimes when you hear of a “life hack”, it's either helpful or a solid no. I think this one is a no for me, but you decide. Would you use this hack? The hack is to pre-freeze your beer into ice cubes, and then add the frozen ice cubes to your beer when you kneed to keep it cold. I think this one works for grapes (so your wine isn’t watered down) or iced coffee which has a strong enough flavor, but not in my beer, thanks.

New York Wines are rising. The Northeastern US has some great land, and the seasons seem to bestow a tremendous agricultural palette here. Vintners have been tapping into that and settling in to make quality wines like Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc, Malbec, Rieslings, and Chardonnay among the styles you’ll find. Discover some of that potential at the link https://www.decanter.com/wine/the-rise-of-new-york-state-wine-492044/
Lager Has Arrived! Are you ready for it? For years I kept hearing that lager was coming. Now, though, it feels different. I started seeing more and different lagers popping onto taproom lists during the summer. Dark lagers replaced Märzen and sat alongside fall beers, and breweries sending out their beer calendars have regular lager releases scheduled. Still, some are doing it better than others, find out who and help spread the Gospel of Lager at the link https://www.craftbeer.com/full-pour/spreading-the-gospel-of-lager

Brandy Time! In the United States, it used to be known as Applejack. Have you tried Applejack? And no I don’t mean Apple Pie Moonshine (though it’s great too). As distillers have risen and learned how to make it even better - the informal name has been dropped, and new ingredients are making their way into the mix. Peach, Watermelon, Smoked Ham, Pear, and even Douglas Fir - we have distillers from all over who are making some interesting and delicious-sounding blends. Hit the link for the list. https://www.winemag.com/2022/12/28/american-brandy/

Kuzy NHL Beer, coming from the Capitals Evgeny Kuznetsov and Juicy Brewing, called Kuzy 777 just released on Friday. The brewery will also be offering t-shirts, Koozies, and probably a bunch of other tchotchkes. The beer originally was going to be called Kusy 555, but Evgeny said, “are you kidding? We call it 777!” At least he knows what he wants, and sounds like it’s points and beer.

If I was to pick one just from its bottle, it would be the Patsch Tequila. Something about the glass knuckles that says, “this’ll hurt you as much as it will hurt me” that just screams badass.

Son Of A Batch, Batching cocktails is now a thing. I told you earlier this year - in a poorly shot and edited video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U1Y-fgVQzqQ - about batching cocktails. If you want to try this at home, there are definitely some lessons learned. Honestly - with the way some establishments make them - a good batched recipe would be better than a botched small recipe.

Invest In Booze! Well, first, I’m not an investor, nor am I qualified to make any investing advice. What I can tell you is that all the major news networks have recently run with this story - but it’s a lot of fluff of just saying “someone picked up a bottle for $50 and now it’s worth thousands”. The worst thing that could happen, is the market crashes and you have some fine whiskey! https://robbreport.com/food-drink/spirits/rare-single-malt-scotch-whisky-investment-market-1234777844/

Kegs Are Over?! It seems the used market that home brewers, and even start up breweries relied on, appears to be slipping. The containers used to hold soda mix, and they’re pretty durable, easy to carry around, fit in kegerators, and have rebuild kits. The warnings this were coming sounded when soda companies switched to a different container for their pre-mixed concoctions. Don’t be surprised if you have to pay more - or if you get an offer for more when you’re selling. Get more at the link and remember - there’s always bottling. https://www.homebrewfinds.com/2022/12/are-used-kegs-running-out.html

Season of the Stouts, If you’re going to drink alcohol till your friends come home for Christmas (apologies to Noah Kahan) you might not live in a place like Vermont where you have craft beers on every corner (e seriously do in a lot of places) and you might rely on your local grocery store to get a mixer and a sixer.

Nah to QuikTrip! That’s my thought on this technology that was released in 2018 in Tulsa, Oklahoma. It’s called QuikTrip Beer Access Scanning System. Cooler doors at stores are locked until you scan your ID. Their privacy policy and marketing ideas make it seem pretty dubious. What do you think about this? Check out the story and their privacy policy at the links while I find somewhere else to shop https://www.dailydot.com/irl/id-to-open-bud-light-door/ and https://www.quiktrip.com/privacy/

Metallica’s Blackened Whiskey is very, very good. Is it all because of the good vibrations from their music pumped into the barrels, or is it simply because of the process from a Master like Rob Dietrich who knows what he’s doing? Though the process seems simple, it still required a lot of work, and soundproofing so people nearby weren’t driven crazy! It’s happening with other rock bands too - like Led Zeppelin. See who else and how at the show notes. https://www.alcoholprofessor.com/blog-posts/music-spirits-alcohol

The prices vary quite a bit. -anywhere from a fairly affordable $60 ish dollars up to about $550 and names like Ardbeg Ardcore, Glen Scotia Distillery of the Year Edition, Gauldrons Sherry Cask Finish and more. They each promise a different level of complexity and flavors that range from dried cherries, caramel apples and even candied orange peels or even cookies. Check out the link for more, and find a new favorite at the link in the show notes https://gearmoose.com/best-new-scotch-whiskies-2022/
Spice Up Your Gin, the fastest growing alcohol flavor trend, according to those who are spicing their gin. Makes sense though as celebrity Chef Todd English just announced it’s his gin on choice and it already has a number of flavors to enjoy straight or play off in a cocktail. Chef English believes Gin is ultimately a "connoisseur's drink" and that the unique flavors of Mexigin "tantalize the palate," crediting Mexigin with bringing a "modern take on classic cocktails." Mexigin is one of the brands at the forefront of a revolution in Gin, combining a variety of smooth notes and savory all-natural spices – with just enough juniper and elevated heat on the back end to create a darkly spicy experience - replacing everything from bourbon and tequila to vodka and rum. Find out more about the new trend at the link in the show notes https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/mexican-spiced-gin-becomes-newest-alcohol-flavor-trend--world-famous-chef-todd-english-names-mexigin-his-gin-of-choice-301633027.html

I regularly show up to see him play with the Owl Stars, solo or sitting in with other musicians.

Coors Light is in the new for two reasons - they’re making Coors Almighty Light with holy water as a collaboration with he Foo Fighters and the upcoming Studio 666 horror-comedy movie. Whether it is an effective demon deterrent remains to be seen - but we do know that Coors Light is making an investment in deterring some single use plastics! Molson Coors is making an $85 million investment in transitioning from plastic rings to fully recyclable and sustainable cardboard wrap carriers later this year. It will have a significant impact by removing 1.7 million pounds of plastic waste annually. Coors Light will be leading the way, with other brands to follow. Expect the entire North American portfolio to transition by 2025. For the Holy Water story click https://mybeerbuzz.blogspot.com/2022/02/coors-foo-fighters-team-up-for-coors.html and for the cardboard ring story click https://www.pennlive.com/business/2022/03/coors-light-says-it-will-eliminate-six-pack-plastic-rings-by-end-of-the-year.html
What would your friends say if you bought a 30 acre hole in the ground? They might think you’ve gone mad or at least losing a bit of touch with reality - but Nigel Jagger did just that 35 years ago and proved his critics wrong. He’s turning that hole, an abandoned war bunker, into a massive wine cellar that now holds $2 Billion worth of wine. It maintains a consistent temp of 57 F and 80 percent humidity. Conveniently, that’s also good conditions for Formula 1 racing tires, which were also stored there in the past. I doubt I’ll ever have anything currently stored in there - like the case of 1945 Chateau Coeval Blanc wine valued at $150,000 or the $2 Million bottle of whiskey. Heck - I wouldn’t even want to be in there with those prices - I’m too afraid I’d drop something. For more https://www.insidehook.com/article/booze/octavian-vaults-wine-bunker
Speaking of Whiskey though - it can be hard to choose a good bottle, and price isn’t always an effective way of determining which one is the best (but every so often who among us doesn’t drop some coin on something special?) According to some experts - there are six bottles you can’’t really go wrong with - and since it’s the Food Network they probably know what they’re talking about. One of them was surprising, as it’s an $89 bottle of Hillock Solar from NY, but it was good to see the affordable Elijah Craig Small Batch on there and a great (dare I say cheap) whiskey for mixed drinks Wild Turkey 101. Get the rest here https://www.foodnetwork.com/how-to/packages/shopping/articles/best-bourbon
Next Time: I might have something coming up with some musicians, I’ll keep you informed!

Vodka is the latest target after Ukraine had an uninvited neighbor come across its borders. In a swift response, numerous stores, taverns, and bottle shops either pulled the stuff from shelves - or outright dumped it! Governors have banned Russian vodka, pulled it from state-run store shelves already. More are expected to follow suit. Not to be left behind - Ukrainian brewers, like Pravda (truth) Brewery started creating an “alternative” cocktail let's call it, temporarily suspending bottling their beer. If only we could supply all that grain alcohol to them for their rebottling program… For the dumping of the Russian vodka story click here https://www.thedailybeast.com/vodka-dumps-and-russian-booze-bans-sweep-north-america-to-protest-putin and for the Pravda Brewery story, click here https://www.euronews.com/culture/2022/02/27/ukrainian-brewery-in-lviv-appeals-on-social-media-for-molotov-cocktail-donations
Moving on to something a little lighter in the news, in fact, quite a bit lighter than the glass bottles mentioned above, why isn’t beer sold in plastic? Well, brewers have long said that it’s the preserve the beer, make sure it doesn’t oxygenate and spoil, make sure it’s not skunked by light passing through the plastic, and countless other reasons - but the real answer seems to be that it would cheapen the product. Sure other countries don’t seem to suffer any of the ill effects quoted as concerns. Sure plastic can hold pressure easily, plastic doesn’t shatter, is lighter weight, and can also be recycled (though to frequently isn’t) it really seems to come down to how it feels in the hand, and glass is the preferred choice to hold, followed by aluminum - either in bottle shapes or the more traditional can shape. Not everyone sees eye to eye on this though. Would you drink your beer out of a plastic bottle? Let me know and read more at https://wgntv.com/news/trending/why-isnt-beer-sold-in-plastic-bottles-like-soda/
Something we do often see in plastic bottles is Mountain Dew - though this version might not make it into them! Someone got all the formulations of the alcohol.. let’s say “Enhanced” versions of Hard Mountain Dew and did all the hard work for us. So what did they find of the 80-year-old brand? And can you believe Mountain Dew is 80, but they project such a youthful energy? For the full review - which by the way included sampling The Dew out of the finest glassware, head over to the link. I can’t bear to think o any of it as drinkable, I’m just not ready to cross that bridge yet, so head to https://brobible.com/culture/article/hard-mountain-dew-review/ if you want to find out if the original, watermelon, black cherry, or Baja Blast is crowned as the winner.. or if any of them were.
Next Time: Recording for the next Another Round, if all goes according to schedule it will come out the first Saturday in March!

While wines are enjoyed by people across the spectrum of countries and colors - representation in the industry is lacking. According to several sources, there are only 3 black Master Sommeliers in the world and 230+/- Sommelier total. For winery owners, the number is staggeringly low - only 1% of the wine & spirits industry in the US is represented. One couple hopes to change that though. As we near the end of Black history month, it’s good to have a story to share about Whitney and Chaz Gates - a couple who are looking to change that by giving a portion of their earnings to help bring more diversity to the industry. Whitney apparently got into Wine from an uncle who, was paralyzed but didn’t let that stop him from making his own wine. Whitney’s dreams took off from there. Her product WONDRY Cocktail Wines is described as a fruit-infused sangria collection with heightened alcohol content. It’s made in small batches and contains organic berries and exotic fruit extracts. She and her husband knew they were taking a chance on launching the product and now, they want to take a chance on other entrepreneurs. I hope they succeed in jumpstarting others' careers.

If you’ve ever heard of hop burn, and complained about it before - you weren’t with the Brewers Association (officially) until recently. The new style guide calls out what has to be one of the biggest issues with modern brewers (I wonder if they called out exploding cans too? Brewers with that issue have yet to be reprimanded that I’m aware of). Anyway - hop burn is a horrible thing to happen to a beer and to your palate. What is hop burn? It’s described as an intensely astringent, drying, corrosive sensation. Hop burn is believed to be caused by excessive contact time between the hops and the beer. As dry-hopping volumes and the number of sessions have increased- so has hop burn. If you want to learn more about hop burn, what causes it, and what’s being done about it - head to the link https://www.pastemagazine.com/drink/craft-beer/hazy-ipa-hop-burn-cause-texture-flavor-brewers-association-style-guidelines/
And Knoxville Tennessee having a great time imbibing this weekend. Not the way you might expect, it’s with a “Farm To Tap Festival”. The Tennessee Craft Brewers Guild is behind the effort to use locally grown ingredients in their local beers - something that’s definitely been catching on in many states, and I’m here for it! It’s actually the first of three events, if you miss this one it’s happening again and in different locations too. The next one is March 12 in Nashville, and the last one scheduled is April 16th in Memphis. Props to them for not calling it “The First Annual” by the way. Link to the event info here https://www.wate.com/news/local-news/farm-to-tap-festival-encourages-knoxville-to-drink-local/
Next Time: I’m snowed in - hope I have enough beer, cider, wine, and spirits to make it!

Dogfish Head has another spirits release out. The 90-proof “Alternate Takes Volume 3: Whiskey Finished in Apple Brandy & Apple Cider Barrels” is distilled from 100% pale malt and finished for 36-plus months in freshly-emptied Dogfish Head American oak apple brandy barrels and French oak apple cider barrels from Angry Orchard (so definitely some of that sharing we expected with the Boston Beer merger). It’s on shelves in Delaware, Maryland, and DC. It’s headed to New Jersey and Washington. Later this spring you can also expect to find them on shelves across New York. As this one works its way onto shelves, more Dogfish head spirits are expected to go into distribution too. https://craftspiritsmag.com/2022/02/24/dogfish-head-debuts-new-whiskey-expands-distribution-of-full-proof-spirits-to-new-york/
Wine's portrayal on TV is changing - which is a good thing considering today’s wine drinkers, makers, and influencers are a pretty diverse group of individuals. The wine space is evolving in pop culture too on shows like; NBC’s “Grand Crew,” Hulu’s “Promised Land,” and OWN’s “The Kings of Napa”. The shows may not be a great place to go for wine education and information - but hey - you take a W where you can. The shows are all running now and hopefully if nothing else - it’ll be good to see people making and enjoying wine, perhaps fighting and getting all dramatic over it too, who look a lot more like today’s audience. https://vinepair.com/articles/wine-tv-shows-diversity-inclusion/
One thing’s for sure - Hill Farmstead’s Edward is popular in Vermont - but there are other beers here too. Don’t forget that this is the region that also created The Alchemist's Heady Topper (though I prefer Focal Banger more - ssshhhhh). It’s tough living in a place that’s been called the home of the best beers in the world. OK, only when I travel to a place with a lot of less than stellar beers (which thankfully is becoming harder). Lots of places I’ve made regular stops at crown Shaun Hill and company as the King of the land though including feedback from Three Penny Taproom, Kingdom Taproom, Blackback Pub (try their house nachos - they will blow you away), and the Worthy group (made up of Worthy Burger, Worthy Kitchen, and Worthy Burger Too). https://www.burlingtonfreepress.com/story/life/2022/02/23/vermont-beer-bars-most-popular-brews-vt/9175220002/

I quickly wanted to say that I missed everyone Monday and Tuesday. I was in Boston and ended up in a taproom around the time I would normally record. I had hoped to record live on location, but it was far too loud to try and go that route, so I just enjoyed some beverages!

Help for the craft beer industry is coming from an unlikely place - the US Government. Specifically - the Treasury wants to give beer lovers more choices than “the usual suspect” and help shake their grip of 65% of the US beer market. The answers could include everything from rethinking how beers are displayed on grocery store shelves to considering whether brews can be shipped straight to doorsteps. The Treasury Department came up with its list of suggestions in a 64-page report as part of a plan to improve small business access to the beer, wine, and spirits industry. Part of what they’re looking at is how state alcohol laws impact competition for smaller brewers, how mergers affect smaller companies, and how the labeling laws may be making it difficult to comply with laws. Look for rule changes to be announced in the next coming months. One thing that’s being pushed to open up sooner than later - shipping beer directly!.

Crown Royal has a new spring and summer entry for the Ready-to-drink cocktail market. Whisky Lemonade (which is what I already make as a summer sipper) will be joining Whisky & Cola, Washington Apple, and Peach Tea on store shelves. The new flavor is so bold it can turn parties onto block parties, BBQs into neighborhood feasts and is the perfect choice to enjoy with family and friends… according to the press release. So use all that power carefully and responsibly. Find out more at https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/crown-royal-adds-new-whisky-lemonade-flavor-to-ready-to-drink-cocktail-lineup-301483806.html
And as I was checking in beers on my jaunt to Boston I saw a list of the top 10 styles on 2021 and, yup, Pilsner is on it. Not shocking anyone - IPA’s (from American, New England, Hazy, Sessions, and Double) held several top spots - but it’s good to see that Fruited Sours, Belgian Triple, and Stouts also held their own too. For the full list - and beers that made up some of those entries in the top 10 - head to https://untappd.com/blog/the-top-10-styles-of-2021/1390

Yesterday I talked about DEI - New Yorkers brewers are going to learn more about it soon as one of the keynote speakers at an upcoming event. Dr. J Jackson-Beckham, an expert in the field, leads the BA's Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI) department as the association’s Equity & Inclusion Partner, will be speaking at the New York State Brewers Conference coming up March 9 - 12 in Albany, NY. Dogfish Head founder Sam Caliglione is set to be the other keynote speaker at the event which will also showcase NYS suppliers of malts & hops. Of course, there’s a competition too with 29 style categories, the best NYS Beer, and the coveted Governor's Cup. Get all the details at https://www.nyscbc.com/
When you think of where most lagers come from ten years ago - you wouldn’t be wrong to immediately think of a big multinational company pumping the stuff out of factories. Lately, though, it’s coming from craft beer producers and the drinkers who are learning they actually love the flexibility, flavors, and depth of styles. Personally - I lean toward the malty, dark, and flavorful ones - just as I do with ales. Though Yes, I’ve been known to have an IPA or two. Well, Minnesota is being hailed, or maybe politely suggested, as the land of 10,000 lagers according to the Star Tribune who recently ran a story on the beers. One thing’s for sure in the story - lagers are worth seeking out. Check out the scoop at https://www.startribune.com/is-minnesota-the-land-of-10000-lagers-grain-belt-fair-state-indeed-utepils-earth-rider-tin-whiskers/600142359
And is it an RTD cocktail or a seltzer? Well. Yes. Apparently, SESH is a better-for-you cocktail meets seltzer in a can and its line is expanding. How are they seltzers, RTDs, and also better for you? SESH drinks have all-natural ingredients, no sugar, and combe the robust flavor of cocktails with that better-for-you format of seltzers. Coming in March you’ll be able to find a Spicy Mango Margarita, Whiskey Soda, Whiskey Ginger, and Mimosa in a can. That’s in addition to the current Mojito, Gin & Tonic, Paloma, and Moscow Mule offerings. Along with their lineup - their distribution is expanding too. They’ve been available in Illinois, New Jersey, New York, and Ohio for some time. The expansion will now include Florida, Georgia, Maryland, Massachusetts, Nevada, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and Tennessee. You may also be able to order SESH online at DrinkSesh.com. All the details on the lineup at https://www.brewbound.com/news/sesh-by-xed-beverage-company-yields-significant-expansion-for-year-two/

What do you do with leftover grapes? A group of scientists and entrepreneurs have one idea - turn them info superfood and enrobe it in chocolate! According to the President of Vine to Bar, leftovers from pressing grapes for winemaking makes 10 billion pounds of waste a year globally — in California alone, that’s about 830,000 pounds! The transformation to a would-be superfood took more than 10 years and $10 Million bucks (including a USDA grant)! They have the former head of global innovation from Mars Inc. as their chocolatier - so maybe Vine to Bar knows what’s up here. The Chardonnay marc - leftover grapes - includes probiotics and prebiotics, so it’s good for your gut too!

DEI is something people have heard much more about since a couple of notable lawsuits and Craft Beer’s #MeToo movement. But what is DEI and is it helping? While that remains It stands for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion and, to be frank, it’s hard to measure exactly how it’s going. What we can say is some brewers initially (by their own admission) earned an “F” a few years ago and now rate themselves much better - but still only getting a “C” grade. So there’s more to do. What we do know is it’s been in the spotlight and it’s probably going to be thrust back in again and again. Around the same time the DEI segment launched - so did “The Inclusion Beer Project” and its aim is to get breweries to agree to increase DEI. Get the full story and links to The Beer Inclusion Project and other great resources like Beer Kulture, the Black is Beautiful initiative, and more at https://www.berkeleyside.org/2022/02/03/inclusion-beer-project-diversity-goals-breweries

Mass is a body of coherent matter, usually of indefinite shape and often of considerable size - well that’s one way to define Mass Beer Week! And we’re mere days (ok maybe two+ weeks) away from the beginning of it! #MASSBEERWEEK returns to celebrate local craft beer on March 5-12, 2022. They’re selling t-shirts and have a whole calendar of events too. The events include several panel discussions, trivia, beer and cheese pairings, and even a photo contest. All you gotta do is take a good pic, use the #MassBeerWeek hashtag and tag @massbeerweek on social media to get entered. Get ready and get your planning started at https://massbrewersguild.org/massbeerweek
We’re also almost a month away from Saint Patrick’s Day! It’s when “Irish upon a star”, and it’s the unofficial kick-off to my birthday celebrations, so I’ve always held the holiday near and dear to my heart. Lots of cities are having celebrations, so I’ll let you check your local sites and breweries and fine drinking establishments to see if they’re joining in the fray. But, for those wishing to pregame or try some Irish Yoga in the privacy of their own home or the home of a friend - here’s a list of Irish Cocktails and how to make them for all your Saint Patrick’s Day Festivities. They’re not all green, and some are suspiciously not Irish sounding, but they sure might help you get your Irish on. Do you know I hear some people sing when they’re completely sober? News to me too! The recipes are at https://www.cosmopolitan.com/food-cocktails/g38584301/irish-cocktail-recipes-for-st-patricks-day/
And things are looking good for another state to allow to go cocktails to become permanent. This time the bill is sitting on the governor’s desk in Rhode Island and, he’s shown support for it in the past, so odds are looking good it will be signed. Politics is weird though - so no guarantees until he does put pen to paper. The more this happens, the more pressure is put on neighboring states for this good move that will help restaurants as they continue to pivot and deal with staffing issues. Now, obviously, we want everyone to adhere to the law and be responsible about their intake - so I’m not in support of gallons of the stuff going to one address - but no one’s advocating for that, that I know of, so I think we’re safe there! Get the details at the link. Hopefully, by the time you click on it, the story will be updated to say say it’s been signed! https://www.newportri.com/story/lifestyle/food/2022/02/16/newport-ri-food-scene-cocktails-go-good-restaurants/6810869001/

Wine in a box has that opposite of Je ne said quoi - that air of affordability about them. Until now that is. It’s been rare to find a boxed wine out of the teens Occasionally there have been some in the $35 range - but the bubble has officially been burst! Tablas Creek Vineyard is pushing the envelope. Will it push back? That remains to be seen - but they’re busy folding up boxes that will set you back $95 for the 3-liter package. It might be good timing as boxed wine sales have been up - nearly 19% last year - when compared to 2019.

Everybody likes a comeback kid, right? Well, there are ten beer companies, most of which I’ve heard of most and actually tried seven of that came back from the dead. Thankfully - this isn’t like that Zombie dream, it’s just that the brands were too beloved to let them lie. Narragansett, Catamount, and even Pabst Blue Ribbon are on this list - among others - so prepare for some nostalgia as you peruse this list. https://www.eatthis.com/discontinued-beers-returned/
And why aren’t beer alternatives growing faster - according to the research - it’s shopper confusion. 71% of people who walk up to these products spend time walking back and forth to see which one might be right… but end up walking away! RTD, Seltzers, and other “Beyond beer” products (as they’re called in this article). Turns out more men are walking away - and we might have better data, better signage, and more helpful information on cans to help us consumers make better choices. Who doesn’t love making good choices in the aisle - so you can go enjoy what you’re buying!? Check out the story at https://www.csnews.com/shopper-confusion-hurting-sales-beyond-beer-category

Congratulations to all those who brought gold, silver, and bronze medals home - no I’m not talking about the Olympics - I’m talking about the Texas Craft Brewers Cup. Don’t get me started that they called it the first annual because, until it happens again next year - is there any way of knowing it might be the last annual too? Anyway - 81 medals were given to 57 small and independent brewers across the state out of 131 breweries that entered. That amounts to 27 medal categories covering 150+ different beer styles that were awarded gold, silver, and bronze medals. They had a tough job anonymizing 755 entries to make sure only a select few knew what anyone was even judging!

Blue Run Spirits is making a splash in the glass of the whiskey world. First - they picked up former Four Roses master distiller Jim Rutledge. That went off with a bang as the “liquid advisor” helped them sell out of some releases in minutes and win the 2021 San Francisco World Spirits Competition! Since then they have also added “the Buddha of Bourbon” protege of Wild Turkey master distillers Jimmy Russell, son, Eddie Russell. They’ve also named Blue Run’s first whiskey director - Shaylyn Gammon of Louisville - to help expand the brand’s portfolio. She created the Russell’s Reserve 13-year-old Bourbon, which was named the Best American Whiskey of 2021 by Fred Minnick. I don’t know what’s in the water - but apparently there’s magic in the whisky there! They’re expanding their reach too with 10,000 bottles now available in 14 states and across three countries.

The code has been cracked! For years the issue has been that NA beers have been a bit lackluster. While some seem to have cracked the code their own way (like Athletic Brewing and Zero Gravity) researchers at the University of Copenhagen say "What non-alcoholic beer lacks is the aroma from hops. When you remove the alcohol from the beer, for example by heating it up, you also kill the aroma that comes from hops. Other methods for making alcohol-free beer by minimizing fermentation also lead to poor aroma because alcohol is needed for hops to pass their unique flavor to the beer.” Small molecules called monoterpenoids seem to be the reason and the process the researchers found should also allow more flavorful NA beers to be made with a much les energy intensive process - saving brewers big bucks! The method is already being tested in breweries in Denmark and the plan is to have the technique ready for the entire brewing industry in October 2022.

"It’s estimated* that at least 10 million new plastic can carriers are used annually by breweries in Massachusetts, with just 10% of them being collected and re-used, and less than 2% of them ever getting recycled" https://ecofriendlybeer.com/just-one-tenth-of-plastic-can-carriers-get-re-used-or-recycled-in-massachusetts-a-team-of-eco-minded-breweries-and-environmental-groups-plan-to-change-that/

I tweeted at Pints and Panels today to see if there were any Girl Scout Cookie and Beer Pairings to recommend - and it’s coming in March! I’ll do my best to keep you informed as my cookies just dropped and I might try some pairings as I have heard Samoas pair well with a Brown Ale, S'mores with a Peanut Butter Chocolate Stout, and Shortbread aka Trefoil with Sours or Pale Ales - but I have not tried myself yet. If you have some good pairings, let me know on Twitter https://twitter.com/The_Boozebuddy
Anyway - on to the stories - which prompted this pairing to begin with! Snacks are good, beer is good - but some complement each other really well. So get your game face on for this weekend and if you don’t have good recipes yet for your Super party get things moving. From Pretzels, Spinach dip, and wings to Maibock, Stouts, and Saisons it’s going to help you really enjoy the day - whether or not your team pulls through or isn’t in the game. https://food52.com/blog/15710-10-beer-and-food-pairings-for-the-big-game
The next one is a bit of a Valentine’s pairing, but for those who just aren’t into the wines. This one is for the Scotch and chocolate lovers - a wonderful level of indulgence that makes my mouth water just thinking about it! This is a bit of an old list - but I couldn’t find one that went across several brands and types that was updated and, honestly, this one just seems like it’s so much more of a complete list. Head over to et the run down https://scotchwhisky.com/magazine/food/18340/10-ways-to-pair-chocolate-with-whisky/
And now for something completely different - The University of Southern Maine (USM) Foundation has received a $100,000 gift from Maine Beer Company to create a unique Brewing Up Opportunity Internship & Scholarship Fund. The gift establishes a pilot program for USM students that includes a paid internship with Maine Beer Company and a scholarship award of up to $5,000 per academic year upon completion of the internship. The program’s goal is to promote diversity and inclusion within the craft beverage industry by providing access to education, on-the-job training, and mentoring to help develop a new generation of beer industry professionals. That’s verbatim from the press release you can read at https://usm.maine.edu/publicaffairs/maine-beer-company-gift-creates-brewing-opportunity-program-usm
Next Time: Tomorrow we’ll go Another Round with the Eco-Friendly Beer Drinker - make sure to tune in! I also release the Another Round editions earlier than the weekday editions!

The one thing about a Super Weekend with the NFL is that we’ll have some big arguments about snacks, teams, and beer! Instacart isn’t focusing on the teams playing - but they have the beers and snacks people order the most for the Super Bowl. I wasn’t surprised at all by many on the list - but the number one beer spot was Modelo Especial! That was definitely the underdog from my personal picks - but it’s a beer I’d drink any day of the week! Get the list of top snacks, dips, and more at The Snacktime Report https://www.instacart.com/company/updates/the-snacktime-report-here-for-the-snacks/
Here’s a way to say I Love you for Valentine’s Day, Birthdays, or really any big day - make ahead freezer cocktails! I haven’t done this before, but I can tell you I’m going to start now. Who wouldn’t want to reach into the freezer and pull out a perfectly chilled and ready-to-drink Martini, Negroni, Old-Fashioned, or (perhaps appropriately for this weekend and Monday) a Flame of Love? Several recipes, and the proper storage, shared by experts are included that can save your day or make the day. Do it now while you’re thinking about it - and surprise your significant other. I’m going to go do it with a Milk and Honey & Kahlua recipe my wife loves. The link is at https://punchdrink.com/articles/make-your-freezer-cocktail-work-harder-death-co/
And this guy might be my hero as I’ve wanted to do this for a long time, but responsibilities… anyway - Paul MyHill went through the state of Colorado to drink through 467 breweries, brewpubs, taproom, and more. How long did it take him? A decade? 5 years? No - it took him 18 months! It started out, as many of these things do, going out for a round with a friend. Before he knew it he had a challenge of 30 breweries in 30 days, 100 in 100 days, and.. well you get the picture! Not only did he hit all those places in the state, but tracked stops at 150 places outside of the state while on vacations during that time! Get the full details - including the most unusual beer he drank at https://www.denverpost.com/2022/02/04/paul-myhill-colorado-beer-guy/

White Claw has a new flavor - but apparently, Jessica told everyone before they got the chance to. Thanks Jessica. No, really, thank you. The new flavor is Passion Fruit and, according to the press release, “The newest White Claw® Hard Seltzer flavor delivers a clean, balanced, and refreshing taste of sweetness and right amount of tartness that’s found in the popular tropical fruit,”. Like other White Claw flavors, the Passion Fruit edition is gluten-free, 100 calories and 5% ABV. The pack was set to hit shelves in Mid-February, except for a few locations that released it to Jessica and other White Claw drinkers a little early. (Hey new stockers working at Publix - you’re supposed to rotate the new stuff behind the older stuff). Get the details here https://vinepair.com/booze-news/new-white-claw-flavor-passion-fruit/
Valentine’s Day is coming up - so I’ll probably do a few more stories as we get closer just to give you last-minute folks who haven’t yet realized the big game on Sunday the 13th might run afoul of Valentine’s Day plans for the 14th - unless you plan early with a spread of chocolate and wine pairings! Cupid’s Culinary Coupling as it's called in the article - helps you know what wine pairs well with milk chocolate, dark chocolate, and even that stuff that dares to call itself chocolate - but isn’t - yes white chocolate I’m talking to you! And this list runs everywhere from Gewurtztraminer to Moscato d’Asti to Malbec to Zinfandel and everything in between.

Britain's oldest pub closes after 1,229 years. The Ye Olde Fighting Cocks pub in St. Albans, England, announced on Facebook that it was closing permanently after financial problems were made worse by the COVID-19 pandemic. The pub's website states the business first started pouring drinks in the year 793. the pub's financial problems predated the pandemic, but issues continually worsened until the team determined it no longer would be able to meet financial obligations. Mitchells & Butlers, the brewery that owns the building, said the pub could potentially reopen. https://www.upi.com/Odd_News/2022/02/08/oldest-pub-closing-1229-years-Ye-Olde-Fighting-Cocks/9761644347053/

Valentine’s Day is coming and Cosmopolitan.com has six recipes they’ve put together for you. Before you ask, yes, the first recipe is for a Cosmopolitan. The best part - they’re all relatively simple recipes with only 5 or 6 ingredients and, they all look pinkish-reddish… with the exception of the Chocolate Espresso Martini that is (which sounds delicious).

When you think of a beverage to go with the NFL and football in general - you probably think of macro beer. Well, not the Rams. They’re partnering with Los Angeles-based winemaker Malek Amrani to come out with Los Carneros - literally ‘the Rams’ but it’s also a place in Sonoma and Napa counties in California. The area is mainly known for pinot noir and chardonnay wines. Amrani says though, “Batch #52 reflects the potential of Los Carneros cabernet sauvignon, the underdog of Napa Valley, to achieve a breakthrough in a region where cabernet reigns king.” It’s been aged for 22 months in two new medium toast oak barrels; one French and one American. A limited run of 600 bottles was made and it's retailing for ~$69.

Tip of the hat to an upcoming The Boozebuddy Update: Another Round guest for sharing this story - Earthlylabs has another CO2 capture device in a big brewery. Normally breweries have vented the C02 and then pay to pump it into their brew later - but this lab is making a product that can go into big breweries and even small breweries to help capture and reuse the stuff that’s made in the beer-making process. It’s not in use at the Alchemist in Vermont, Austin Beerworks in Texas, and now Treehouse Brewing in Massachusetts (among others?)

Berkshire Mountain Distillers latest #CraftBrewersWhiskeyProject release is out and ready for tasting! Each addition to the American whiskey collection is the product of a single-sourced craft brew distilled into a unique Berkshire Mountain Distillers whiskey. This time around it’s Long Trail's Unearthed Stout, Chatham Brewing's 8 Barrel Ale, and 2RoadsBrewing's Workers Comp Farmhouse Ale. They’ve been distilled and aged in barrels for 4 - 5 years. If that wasn’t cool enough - and to me, it seems pretty damn cool - their Distiller, Michael Sharry, is in a battle. He’s a contestant on “Moonshiners: Master Distiller” and you can see him on February 23rd, on the Discovery Channel, as he battles for the title of Master Distiller! For the full details, head to https://craftbrewerswhiskeyproject.com/ and make sure to follow them on social media
Are Uneccesary inventions useless? Maybe not! Captain Morgan came up with an invention that honestly seems kind of awesome. It’s called the Captain Morgan Super Bowl Punch Bowl and it stirs with the sound waves created by the Bluetooth speaker at the base of the bowl, keeps track of the score during the game, and holds 4 gallons of whatever punch you want to throw in it! Matty Benedetto of Unnecessary Inventions even pops up halfway through the commercial for the bowl - head to https://punchbowl.captainmorgan.com/en/gate and for the full punch bowl of info on this head to Seven Days https://www.sevendaysvt.com/vermont/captain-morgan-and-burlingtons-matty-benedetto-stir-the-super-bowl-party-action/Content?oid=34825383
OK, on to beer - and a fantastic beer at that - I’m lucky enough to live near Queen City Brewery in Burlington, and they make great classic German and European beers. I recently went in for some Schwarzbier aka Black Lager, aka Malta (and also Gregarious, their Scotch Ale) and it’s so good it’s no wonder it’s continuing to trend. It’s one of those dark and mysterious beers a lot of people think “I can’t drink that!” and yet it is so easy to drink! If you drink more than the cheapest light lagers or hoppiest of hazy bois - then you might really enjoy this. Try it anyway - and let me know what you think. Then you'll understand why interest in beer has grown 400% in the past two years. Find out about Queen City at http://queencitybrewery.com/.

If you haven’t heard, there’s some sort of Bowl coming up, I’ve heard it’s a Super one too! Well, if you want to have some fried snacks and cheap beer - you might be in the majority - but what if you want to have some snacks that pair well with wine? Forbes has your answer, with wines that pair well with Chips and Dips, Buffalo wings, BBQ, Loaded Potato Skins, and even Nachos! Yeah - now I want all the snacks and wines - and it’s not even the big game yet! Get the Super story and fill up your bowl, or glass at the link in the show notes shorturl.at/zQT49
Whatever you serve up when the game is on - will it be blue (and I don’t mean Labatt)? A French brewer has started using spiraling algae, that contains a naturally-occurring pigment, and it turns the beer blue. The beer, called "Line", is a kind of collaborative/meeting of the minds of a dietary supplement maker and a nearby craft brewery, Hoppy Urban Brew, who wanted to make their beverages stand out. According to Sebastien Verbeke, an employee "It's getting an enormous amount of interest and curiosity on the part of the public”. I bet it is! Honestly, I wouldn’t be against trying it - but glad I wasn’t the tester on one of the first test batches. I wonder if we’ll have any brewers making it in the states anytime soon. shorturl.at/ouKV7
I live in one of several states with no happy hour and I’m OK with it - turns out Massachusetts and Rhode Island haven’t had one since the mid-1980s. It was done to help curb driving under the influence in many states. Well now - lawmakers in RI and Mass want to reverse the laws - they say to help businesses… but apparently, the word is that Happy Hours don’t often help businesses - people find a place that has the best deal, have one or two drinks and then leave. Honestly - I’ve seen this myself. Places here can have a beer special - but it has to be all day. People go to the place with the cheapest price, have a few, and then head out. What’s your opinion on it? Check out the link and leave your feedback on this video or at The Boozebuddy Update. Do Happy Hours bring in more business, or do people just bounce from place to place looking for a cheap drink? shorturl.at/irBDO

The Distilled Spirits Council of the United States (DISCUS) has some good news, the spirits market did gain share for the 12th consecutive year. The top spirits categories include Brandy & Cognac up 13.1 percent, Cordials up 15.2 percent, and Tequila/Mezcal up 30.1 percent!

Massachusetts-based LEVIA, one of the top-selling Cannabis-infused Seltzer companies is about to launch Orange Blossom on February 7th throughout Massachusetts. The company also offers other cannabis-infused seltzers and water-soluble tinctures. All made in Georgetown, Mass. with locally sourced simple and all-natural ingredients. Each 12 ounce can of “Orange Blossom” seltzer contains 5mg THC, zero calories, and zero sugar. They say the product is good for spring cleaning, planting a new garden, or embracing the outdoors with friends and family as it pairs perfectly with the sun, flowers, and the spring atmosphere.

There’s been some good news and bad news in the Vermont scene. First, the bad so we can savor the good later. Backache beer and Collaborative brewing are no longer in business in Vermont. But, the story may not be over. Collaborative seems to have been misplaced, or displaced - basically, they’re without a home. You can still find the product they’ve already put out into the world for a while longer, but they ended their message on their closing with this line “Our hearts are heavy now that it’s coming to an end, and optimistic for what all our awesome minds will do next” which seems to make it sound like the chapter has ended, but there’s more to come in their story. Let’s hope. The other is Backacre who started in Denver, came to Vermont, and now are going back to Denver. Their story isn’t over - but the beer might be a bit harder to get your hands on - though it was always a bit of a challenge. It sounds like relationships they’ve built here will keep their product on shelves for some time. So again - the story isn’t over. The good news is that 14th Star in St Albans is growing and changing. If you’ve been to their taproom in the past - expect to see some big changes there soon, and new beer lines as they celebrate 10 years! It looks like everything at 14th Star is getting a refresh though - including can designs. Mill River Brewing is also growing - they’ll be adding a new taproom, with some table service, to focus more on the beer as they’ve been split between brews and BBQs. While the restaurant toed the line between a brewpub and restaurant - they will allow them to make some separation - that will probably benefit both sides of the business. For the Backacre and Collaborative brewing story click here shorturl.at/hmntO and for the 14th Star and Mill River - click here shorturl.at/lnszC
Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson just got his Red Notice.. or maybe it was a green notice as his Teremana Tequila brand just got staked by Mast-Jägermeister! What will that mean? Through the new relationship, Mast-Jägermeister will assist in the Tequila’s international sales, marketing & logistics strategies, and bring organizational structure to Teremana’s international rollout. That will happen in the next few months, but Mast-Jägermeister will be there to help increase capacity, scale and distribution too. shorturl.at/inCNR
With the Canada/US border reopening - maybe it’s time for a trip! Quebec makes all kinds of great brews - but Cidrerie Lacroix sounds like it’s certainly worth the drive - if you like snowy adventures like snowshoeing, visiting the stables, checking out the food at Halte Gourmande, and - most especially - cider. For more on what you’ll find there click the link shorturl.at/iuyLU

Well, Harpoon Brewery and Mike’s Pastry in Boston have teamed up once again. This time with two brews Harpoon Mike’s Pastry Cannoli Stout has an alcohol by volume, or ABV, of 7.3 percent. It’s made with real Mike’s Pastry cannoli shells in addition to a combination of cocoa nibs, lactose and vanilla to mimic the flavor of a famous Mike’s cannoli. “Barrel-Aged Mike’s Pastry Cannoli Stout” uses the same recipe, however Harpoon ages the liquid for months in premium rye whiskey barrels to add layers of vanilla, spice and caramel. As a result the aged stout has an ABV of 9 percent. For every case of beer sold in February, Harpoon will donate a portion of the proceeds to “Real Men Wear Pink,” an American Cancer Society-affiliated organization since next month is National Cancer Awareness Month. Anyone lucky enough to have bought a 4-pack of the regular or barrel-aged variety of the cannoli stout on location today received two Mike’s cannolis! https://www.masslive.com/food/2022/01/harpoon-brewery-and-mikes-pastry-of-boston-team-up-again-with-two-limited-release-cannoli-stout-flavors-plan-launch-event-in-february.html
Well Dry January is behind us - but it’s going to be different going forward as it has been for the past few years! Nonalcoholic beer had suffered a pretty bad rep in the United States for decades. But over the past few years a lot of independent craft brewers, have been more motivated to experiment with, and invest in, finding ways to make nonalcoholic beer that lives up to the standards of the brewers and the drinkers. Now I know I’ve talked about Zero Gravity’s Rescue Club and Athletic Brewing in the past, but let’s shine a light on some others. I have to run two Boston stories back to back, but I’m doing it - so grab a Dunky’s and jump into this story https://www.wbur.org/news/2022/01/21/dry-january-nonalcoholic-beer-trend
Sure, I slept on the Naples Winter Wine Fest - but I’m not sleeping on this one. The West Slope Foundation, along with wineries from Fair Play, and Creekside Cork and Brew host the Out of the Ashes Wine and Appetizer Pairing Fundraiser Saturday, Feb. 5 in Somerset California.

I mentioned the Naples Winter Wine Fest in passing last week- but looks like I should have been paying more attention. They raised over $20 million in auctions for the Naples Children & Education Foundation. About 600 auction attendees bid on 43 lots of wine, jewelry, luxury automobiles, international trips, and many other one-of-a-kind experiences. But, it’s not over - the auction continues until tomorrow, February 1st at https://nwwfonlineauction.com. NCEF will use the funds accumulated from this year’s event to award grants on March 14 to local organizations and fund strategic initiatives supporting local children in need. To get more info on the event and the lots auctioned - head to https://www.gulfshorebusiness.com/nwwf/
Congratulations to David Hiler, and Tim and Amy Brady, owners of Whetstone Brands (including Whetstone Craft Beers, Whetstone Station Brewery and Taproom, and River Garden Marketplace in Brattleboro, and Kampfires Campground, Inn & Entertainment in Dummerston). They were named by the Vermont Brattleboro Area Chamber of Commerce as “2021 Entrepreneurs of the Year” at the organization’s annual meeting, January 25. The award comes in as Whetstone Station Brewery (the trio’s first project together) is celebrating their 10th anniversary! Apparently, it stemmed from a chance meeting in 2011 that blossomed! Since I have had a taste of what they’ve become - I can’t wait to see how they continue to grow over the next ten years! https://vermontbiz.com/news/2022/january/30/whetstone-owners-named-bacc-entrepreneurs-year
And The Coca‑Cola Company and Molson Coors are expanding their relationship and the FAB (Flavored Alcoholic Beverage) category. Look for Simply Spiked Lemonade™ variety 12-packs to launch this summer. The duo will offer four refreshing flavors, made with real fruit juice; Lemonade, Strawberry Lemonade, Watermelon Lemonade, and Blueberry Lemonade. They’ll be canned in 12-oz. slims, with some available in single 24-oz. cans. The 12 ounces contain 170-calories and 5% ABV. https://www.coca-colacompany.com/news/simply-spiked-lemonade-announcement

There are a lot of great bourbons out in the world now, and there are some that are just… not that great. The problem is - it can get complicated to figure out where those affordable ones fall. Well, to help you navigate the affordable bourbon comes this list of bourbons between $10 - $20. Evan Williams, Old Tub, and Wild Turkey 101 topped this list of ten very affordable and very drinkable bottles of booze - whether you’re drinking it straight or using it for cocktails. Get the list and get ready to save some dollars at https://uproxx.com/life/best-bourbon-whiskey-under-20-ranked/
It’s finally happening. Anheuser-Busch is making a zero-carb beer. Bud Light Next. Now, if I recall correctly, I think had to have its name and slogan tweaked after a run-in with Yeungling - yes, and here’s the link https://breweriesinpa.com/yuengling-has-accused-bud-light-of-taking-its-trademark/ ). Anyway - it’s out now and the light beer comes in at 4%, zero carbs, and 30 fewer calories than Bud Light. AB has been working on this for ten years and went through 130 prototypes before landing on the bottles and cans that will be sold in six and 12 packs. Look for it on shelves February 7th https://nypost.com/2022/01/27/anheuser-busch-is-rolling-out-its-first-ever-zero-carb-beer/
And it’s beer fest time, but one of the many that’s shaking that up is all set to go! Beers With(out) Beards will be celebrating its 5th anniversary on Saturday, April 9th, 2022, at Brick South in Portland, ME to celebrate the achievements of women in craft beer. At the festival, you’ll be able to enjoy beer from thirty-five-plus breweries that are either women-owned or owned by femme-identifying people, or that have women or femme-identifying people in prominent leadership positions. Tickets went on sale this morning at https://hopculture.ticketsauce.com/e/beers-with-out-beards and for more info on the event go here https://www.hopculture.com/beers-without-beards-2022/

I just told you yesterday how the Detroit Free Press called 2022 the year of the lager and it’s looking like there might be some truth to lager having a moment this year. It’s a trend that's bucking the hazy-bois, adjuncts, and barrel-aged beers we’ve come to see regularly and present craft beer fans a crisp, clean, and apparently crushable beverage option. While they name-drop cult beers like Heady Topper, I’m not yet seeing people driving hundreds of miles to pick them up… yet. But - could we see that happen soon? Maybe. Or maybe people are just hungry for a great locally made beer that drinks well - wherever they are. Though people are now referring to them as crispy-bois https://vinepair.com/articles/lager-focused-breweries/
The frigid northeast temps are being avoided by some - but not by all. Including grapes! In fact, it seems a labor of love for the Lane Family in South Hero Vermont. Snow Farm Vineyard makes what are known as ice wine. It’s a unique wine that is made with grapes that are left on the vine -- usually until December as it needs cold temperatures. In fact, if it’s too warm the grapes will rot - so the colder the better! It’s also much sweeter than typical wine. For more on the story and this special wine - check out the link https://www.wcax.com/2022/01/21/vt-vineyard-uses-cold-temps-get-sweet-results/

Wednesday January 26 2022 - and yesterday the Detroit Free Press called 2022 the year of the craft lager. We’ll see if they’re right.

First - kudos to Four Quarters in Winooski, VT for turning their outdoor patio into a skating rink. It’s a great use of a space during the coldest months of the year in this area. You can check out the video of the outdoor skating area (complete with a fire pit) at https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=639426120845987&extid=CL-UNK-UNK-UNK-AN_GK0T-GK1C and check out 4Quarters at https://www.4qbc.com/
But - I found out - they’re not the only one doing it! Nope - there’s Fifty West Brewing https://fiftywestbrew.com/ice-skating/, Schram Haus Brewery http://schramhausbrewery.com/icerink/, and Throwback Brewery (whose was unfortunately damaged, but re-opening Friday) https://www.throwbackbrewery.com/blog/therink/ all have skating on site. Brewery Hockey leagues anyone?
When you re-rank all the new wines, it shakes things up a bit - and turns out you might be able to get a great value as a result of the new rankings from Wine Spectator. I’ve frequently gone back to some advice from a friend of mine that the best bottle of wines often only costs around $15 - $25 dollars. Sounds like that almost still holds true as The Top 10 Wine Values of 2021 rankings meet three criteria: They have rated 90 points or higher on Wine Spectator’s 100-point scale. They cost $40 or less and provide three other things - quality, price, and availability. They’re wines with solid track records that are good representatives of their regions. Get the rundown and put together your shopping list at https://www.mercurynews.com/2022/01/25/10-best-wine-values-from-wine-spectators-new-rankings/ I bet this will be talked about at the Naples Winter Wine Fest this weekend!
And this time of year is when IPAs are most popular - so let’s look at eight highly rated Double IPA’s and see how they rank when it’s a blind taste testing panel. Dirt Wolf and Florida man are the only two I haven’t tried yet, but by the rankings, there are no losers on this list. Even the 8th ranked Double IPA is described as a well-made beer that’s complex, flavorful, and easy to drink - and it seems to get better from there! However, it was a smashing success for Lawson’s Finest Liquids out of Waitsfield, Vermont as they took two top spots! At number 3 was Second Fiddle Double Fiddle, number 2 was Bell’s Hopslam and at number 1 was Lawson’s Finest Double Sunshine. https://uproxx.com/life/high-rated-double-ipas-blind-taste-tested-and-ranked/

Let’s tap some cheap beers. Every state has its favorite bargain beer and the folks at Eat This, Not That! put one together and I can find no fault with Vermont’s cheap beer - Natural Light. I recall too many times buying it by the case with friends and roommates because none of us could afford nice things. Thankfully my beer budget and tastes have advanced, but I look fondly back on those days with beer that had nearly no flavor, or ABV for that matter. Find out your state's choice (can’t say preferred choice for every state though) at the link. Oh, and just to make good on a promise to a friend of the show - I recently had Coors Banquet for the first time - in a bottle, and I’m not upset that I did, and would have it again. https://www.eatthis.com/most-popular-cheap-beer-every-state/
Your next whiskey might have ingredients that are a bit more local than in the past. Great Western Malting has launched two unique malted barley products - American Distillers High-Enzyme Malt and American Distillers Non-GN Malt. They were created or is that crafted, specifically for the distilling industry. Great Western Malting states that they maintain a close relationship with farmers in the Northwest US - specifically Idaho and Washington state. They are also happy to provide distillers with access to a domestic supply and production - which they state provides security in supply. After so many supply chain issues - I’ll definitely say this is a chain no one wants pinched! https://brewpublic.com/distilling/great-western-malting-launches-new-american-distillers-malts/
Light Cider seems to be working well - Citizen cider, Shacksbury, and Austin Eastciders have committed to it. Austin Eastciders, however, has launched 4 light cider flavors with real fruit, 100 calories, and 4.2% ABV. The flavors are Mango Mimosa, Cucumber Agave, Strawberry Lemonade, and Texas Brut. Texas Brut is a kind of “all-arounder” that they say you can use in place of champagne, even in cocktails and mixed drinks that call for the bubbly. Austin Eastciders, however, does still hold on to their higher ABV ciders like their 8% Imperial line-up. https://darik.news/texas/austin-eastsiders-launches-light-cider-line/202201482198.html

I get my hair cut pretty regularly, and I’ll be going to get it cut soon again and I’m definitely going to suggest this option to my barber - because I just learned there are barbershops that are also bars! In this story - it all started for a couple when they were getting the groomsmen some grooming for their wedding and they enjoyed a beer, bagels, and bourbon while getting prepped. Who knows - my state probably has some ridiculous law that doesn’t allow sharp objects and alcohol to be in the same establishment, but there are places that do! For the fairly short list, check out

Say what? Whistlepig, Vermont’s blended whiskey and farm to bottle whiskey maker, has launched an alcohol-free aged rye (a non-whiskey). It’s called Devil’s Slide and it’s aged six years from 100% rye. According to Meghan Ireland, Whiskey Blender at WhistlePig “Most non-alc ‘spirits’ start with water as a base, then add components to mimic the character and taste of a spirit, whereas the Devil’s Slide starts with 6-year old PiggyBack 100% rye,”. In addition, Whistlepig has also released Devil’s Half Send, a non-boozy rye that adds locally-sourced hemp extract and Full Send (which I presume packs a bigger punch) is coming soon Find out more about them at https://www.insidehook.com/article/booze/whistlepig-devils-slide-aged-booze-free-rye-review
Speaking of whiskies. 2021 was a great year for collectors - not just those looking to collect, but those selling their collections. And people paid some crazy money to get their hands on exclusive bottles. The cheapest on this list of the top 20 came in at $21,000 for Michter’s 25-year-old Straight Rye. At the middle of the pack were two bottles of Macallan 72 year old for about $80,000 and the top bottle of booze? Macallan Fine & Rare 60-year-old, 1926 that sold for just under $1.5 million! I can’t hold onto a bottle longer than a few months, so I don’t know how y’all do it! I can’t think it’s a great way to invest though - seems as sketchy as bitcoin - but get the full run down and make your own decisions on it at https://www.whiskyadvocate.com/revealed-auction-houses-most-expensive-whiskies-of-2021/

Lawson’s Finest Liquids, located in the Mad River Valley area of Vermont, has expanded distribution of Hopzilla Double IPA outside of Vermont for the first time ever! You can now find the brew in Connecticut, Massachusetts, Maine, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and (of course) still in Vermont. The beer has Simcoe, El Dorado, and Cascade hops. It comes in at 8.7% ABV and should reach everywhere inside the above states through the end of February. It’s the first specialty brew of 2022 for Lawson’s out of Waitsfield, VT - and one that they’re asked about all the time in the taproom.

If you had Cognac coming in for a W in 2021 - you weren’t alone, because people everywhere (literally worldwide) were buying up the stuff. Sales of Cognac went up by 31% in 2021. In the US alone, sales jumped by 11%, China had the biggest jump with sales in that country jumping by more than 56%! Part of the increase is being attributed to a five-year suspension on tariffs that the US and European Union agree to last year. Cognac and its fans are celebrating a real recovery in the industry as a result! https://cheersonline.com/2022/01/19/cognac-sales-climbed-31-in-2021/
In a move that’s obviously a response to the craft Beer’s #MeToo moment, The Mass Brewers Guild has partnered with Speakfully, an anonymous third-party reporting system. The platform provides employees a safe and anonymous way to report toxic work culture, harassment, or give general feedback about their overall workplace. It also gives employers real-time data and analytics to promote proactive action. Employees and Employers can communicate privately through Speakfully’s secure messaging portal - protecting people’s identities. The program is an opt-in for members of the guild and is one of many offerings including additional employee law and HR education, as well as bystander and de-escalation training for staff. Speakfully was founded as a direct result of inappropriate workplace interactions experienced by CEO and co-founder, Jana Morrin. What started as a simple documentation process led to the larger idea that employees need a private and secure platform to voice concerns without fear of retribution.

The Basketball Hall of Fame also collaborated with the release. Camby, who went from the UMass Minutemen to 17 seasons with the NBA, was joined by White Lion founder Ray Berry for the announcement at the brewery’s taproom in downtown Springfield.

The no- and low-alcohol beverage industry is currently valued just shy of $10 billion USD across 10 different key global markets according to IWSR, a beverage market and data analysis firm. It’s on target to continue growing through 2025. In 2021, no- and low-alcohol beer, cider, spirits, wine, and ready-to-drink products expanded to hold 3.5 percent of the volume share of the entire beverage alcohol industry. No- and low-alcohol beer and cider is the largest sector of this industry. Non-alcoholic RTDs and spirits each are projected to see growth, along with non-alcoholic wines growing at a bit of a lower percentage. Low-alcohol wines are the only sector predicted to outperform their alcohol-free counterpart! https://vinepair.com/booze-news/non-alcoholic-industry-value/
And speaking of RTD’s Bota Box is now in the ready-to-drink (RTD) category with the launch of Bota’Rita pre-mixed margarita wine cocktails. Bota’Rita Margarita RTDs launch at retail in March of 2022 with two flavors, Classic Lime and Strawberry. These are made using Bota Box, blended with real agave, lime juice, and natural flavors. According to the executive vice president of marketing for Delicato Family Wines, “Pre-mixed margaritas have become incredibly popular with consumers and are largely driving the growth of the pre-mixed cocktail category, which is one of the fastest-growing segments in the U.S. beverage alcohol industry”. If that’s not enough each 1.5-liter carton of Bota’Rita generates 88% fewer greenhouse gasses to produce compared to the equivalent amount of liquid in glass bottles, the company reports and is made from post-consumer, 100%-recyclable cardboard fiber, printed with non-toxic ink and glued with cornstarch instead of synthetic glue. https://cheersonline.com/2022/01/18/bota-box-botarita-rtds/

Our first celebrity is the story about Chief Happy Hour Officer Joel McHale (probably best known for his role in Community) - and I didn’t know a CHO was a thing until I read this story, but I’d like to become one - is now slinging drinks for Q mixers. They have a playbook with conversation starters and recipes you can make with, surprise, their line of mixers. Honestly - just seems like a good bit of fun and I’m here for it. You can download the digital booklet and find out Joe’s signature drink recipe for the “Five O’clock Fizz” at https://qmixers.com/joel-mchale-cho/
Our next celery is, well a group of celebrities: Drake’s Virginia Black Decadent American Whiskey, Bob Dylan’s Heaven’s Door Redbreast Edition, Matthew McConaughey’s Longbranch, Scottie Pippen’s DIGITS Bourbon, and Terry Bradshaw’s Bradshaw Bourbon. Between the beverages, there seems to be a clear winner and a clear… not winner. I mean they’re all celebrities, there really aren’t any losers in the bunch - but some beverages should maybe go through a rebrand or remix, or just fade away (sorry Drake fans).

And finally for the fusion I mentioned - Burlington Vermont’s Zero Gravity had a presence in the space next to it - but has now officially expanded into and taken over the space formerly occupied by the Great Northern Restaurant. It’s now a spacious beer hall with some cozy spaces, a pool table, and more. The counter-service menu is exactly the same, whether you order at the former taproom bar or at the grand antique bar on the restaurant side of the building. A wall has been removed so people can also flow between the spaces. The menu and beverages have shifted, but they still seem to offer some good choices for take-out and dine-in service. I look forward to checking out the differences soon myself. Check some of them out yourself at the link from Seven Days https://www.sevendaysvt.com/vermont/first-bite-zero-gravity-taproom-and-the-great-northern-fuse-into-new-beer-hall/Content?oid=34653977

One of the things I love about January is that we start hearing about the upcoming festivals and this year is no different. GABF, Savor, and more are all on the calendars. I just saw the info on Barrel & Flow https://www.barrelandflow.com/, set for August 12 -14 and it looks like it’s going to be an even bigger event than last year. It was voted by USA Today readers as one of Americas favorite festivals. Sadly - I couldn’t find a single resource where you could find all or most of the beer fests. Two certainly stood out. One is Google and when I searched for “Beer Fest for 2022” which covered everything local to me. I got this link https://tinyurl.com/ycx9xa9t and then I found this one at “Music Festival Wizard” isn’t bad, but definitely is missing several https://www.musicfestivalwizard.com/festival-type/beer-festivals/ If you know of a better link - head to https:BoozebuddyUpdate.com and comment in today’s post.
What do Whisky, Scotch and Bourbon all have in common? They’re incredibly popular, seem to be the be victims of counterfeiters, and age for several years. Well - that last one may no longer be true as Dolf Stockhausen is in the news again. I first saw this story in March of 2021 as he was pushing through the “Finishing process” with light to get the same characteristics out of spirits that have only matured for 7 days, instead of 7 - 12 years For the older story https://cnalifestyle.channelnewsasia.com/experiences/whiskies-that-are-instantly-aged-rapid-maturation-251691 and you can read the newer story with a subscription at https://www.businesspost.ie/business/meet-dolf-stockhausen-the-entrepreneur-who-says-he-can-mature-whiskey-in-a-week-and-wants-to-do-it-in-ireland-0951d922
And apparently we’re all doing it wrong - ordering and drinking wine that is. According to a new survey conducted by OnePoll on behalf of Woodbridge Wines,and published at Martha Stewart’s site, only 17 percent of wine drinkers swirl and sniff the beverage before drinking it. It seems Martha’s here for us - whether you do or don’t want to skip all the wine etiquette. At home, it’s always ok, but what about when you’re at a place that will give you a proper presentation and then expects you to sniff, swirl and sip a sample to make sure it’s up to snuff - else they turn up their noses at you and your table? Get the info on the survey, find out what you may have been missing and decide if it’s worth it to you! https://www.marthastewart.com/8207673/most-wine-drinkers-dont-follow-proper-etiquette-survey-2022

Well that didn’t take long, A new program meant to rescue plastic can carriers, has already collected over 10,000 of the beer hauling plastic holders, handles, or toppers! The program launched in November with the collaboration of a wade systems operator, Reusable solutions, and Eco Friendly Beer, over a dozen breweries, cideries, and eco-conscious consumers! And to think - I haven’t even dropped mine off yet! The program saves not only on the funds and cost to manufacture and transport the plastic - but provides a much-needed commodity for craft beverage makers, and created a recycling stream for ones that can be washed and reused. I hope this means the Vermont Can Carrier Reuse & Recycle Initiative can grow https://www.brewbound.com/news/vermont-reuse-recycle-initiative-rescues-10000-plastic-can-carriers-in-first-2-months
Dry January, for some, doesn’t mean taking the month off from anything - and there are several THC and CBD beverage “enhancers” that are answering the call for those looking for options. Dry January, by the way, not as new as some think - apparently dating back to the 1940s. So apparently it’s from “the Good ole days” we always hear about, though it really started gaining steam in the states about 11 years back. The good thing is that alcohol-free beer, seltzers, coffee and drink starters with CBD or THC are all available (in some areas), and it won't cost much more than a liquor-store run. Lagunitas, Dixie Elixirs, and Ripple are some names that might be new to you - but maybe you’d like an introduction. Check out the link to greet these new beverages just waiting for you! https://www.westword.com/marijuana/dry-january-marijuana-beverage-alternatives-13206677
Now we’ve all made some good putts - some of my best have been made at a now-defunct mini-golf course, some are made in the office and one man made a 96-foot putt at a University of Louisville men’s basketball game recently to win a bottle of 23-year-old Pappy Van Winkle with “Putt for Pappy”. Kevin Burch - I tip my hat to you - and if you’d like someone to share it with - call me.

Your coolest new place to drink might be a bookstore. While bookstore bars have usually been bookstores first with OK coffee, and both wine and snacks from a box - things are changing. Bookstore bars are now as much a bar as they are a bookstore and are looking to build a sense of community over a great read. They are a better place to bring a date, and you can read a good book while sipping a glass of wine in a big comfy chair. It turns out that the businesses help each other, not only in creativity but in revenue - when your book sales are low, the bar can keep the business afloat and vice versa. What’s not to love? Check out some highlights in this article on the subject https://www.eater.com/22882395/bar-bookstore-cafe-trend-natural-wine-coffee-menu
Monster Beverage Corporation is now going to be a Brewing powerhouse after acquiring the CANarchy Brewery Collective - adding craft beer and hard seltzer to their company. The transaction includes the Cigar City, Oskar Blues, Deep Ellum, Perrin Brewing, Squatters, and Wasatch brands. Barring any regulatory staling, the sale should be completed by the end of the First Quarter of 2022. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/monster-beverage-corporation-acquire-canarchy-130500240.html
And is it a case of Willy Wonka, or a copycat of BrewDog’s recent gold can contest? Well, either way, someone’s going to Live Like a King! Anheuser-Busch has scattered 10,000 golden beer cans across the country. If you find one of those lucky cans, in specially-marked cases, you can enter the Live Like a King Sweepstakes and get the chance to win $1 million. To enter, post a picture of the golden can on Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter and tag @budweiserusa using the hashtags #LiveLikeAKing and #Sweepstakes. To make it easier to enter, you can go to Budweiser's website, download a golden can wrap for your regular beer, and also enter the contest that way. The prize will be awarded to one winner after a random drawing on Feb. 21. https://us.budweiser.com/livelikeaking/

Some big changes in beer - Salt Lake City’s Uinta Brewing has been purchased by a joint venture that combines importer/sales and marketing company US Beverage with Colorado-based private investment firm FC Crestone. And Molson Coors Beverage Company announced it will sell two brick-and-mortar locations that formerly housed San Diego’s Saint Archer Brewing Company to Ballast Point owners Kings & Convicts Brewing Company, which says it will keep current staff and designate the Miramar, California facility as the new operating headquarters for Kings & Convicts. Unity has been on a decline since 2017 and Saint Archer’s sales had been growing rapidly, until last year… https://www.goodbeerhunting.com/sightlines/2022/1/10/owners-shed-saint-archer-uinta-amid-impatience-with-slow-craft-market
White Oak is the go to wood for barrels, unfortunately it looks like the supply is being cut and processed faster than the trees can be grown to replenish the wood. Thankfully The White Oak Initiative has a collection of partners from academic, government and the private sector working to increase the sustainability long term. The White Oak industry is worth a reported $8.6 Billion in Kentucky alone - and it is used for furniture and flooring as well. https://www.foodandwine.com/news/american-white-oak-wine-whiskey-cask-sustainability
And a story with a local flair - to me - in Charlotte (not Charlotte) Vermont malts are being roasted and many New England breweries are reaping the benefits of fresh and local malts. Vermont Malthouse has been putting out about 45 tons of malt per month and is making upgrades that would up that potential output to 75 tons per week. Eventually, they expect they could handle 150 tons a week. As they’re trying to use all Vermont grown grains - that means they’ll need about 2,000 acres to support that. It’s good news for a state that’s been losing dairy farmland. For the full story https://www.wcax.com/2022/01/10/mivt-vermont-malthouse/ and check out the malts at https://vermontmalthouse.com

OK, yesterday we talked about beers that might be criminally bad - today let’s talk about some that are underrated. Very underrated and that doesn’t mean rare or expensive. These are either underappreciated beers and some, like Coors Banquet, have been around for some time. Amazingly - it’s a beer I don’t think I’ve ever had. Time to change that and pick up some others I haven’t imbibed with like Telluride Face Down Brown and Samuel Smith’s Taddy Porter. Several of the others I have had and can say, I would definitely have again. Check out the full list https://uproxx.com/life/the-most-underrated-beers-ever-according-to-experts/
Beer appliances come and go - but one company hopes there’s hits a sweet spot. Some are overcomplicated, have a complicated system that means you can’t customize your brews, but the BEERMKR says theirs is an all-in-one automated craft beer-making device that anybody can use. Add whatever ingredients you want (like chocolate or coffee), customize the kits they offer or build kits that are entirely yours. It will make the equivalent of a 12 pack and set you back about $650, but that’s certainly a bargain compared to some beer-making setups. https://beermkr.com/products/beermkr-system
And Katy Perry launched De Soi, a line of sparkling ready-to-drink non-alcoholic beverages on January 6th. The 37-year-old explains that she can’t drink like she’s in her 20’s anymore and, well who can’t identify with that! De Soi, which Perry explains is French for "pleasure with restraint," is available to purchase in either ready-to-drink cans or bottles. Perry and the co-creator/co-founder - Master Distiller Morgan McLachlan - created the three flavors: Golden Hour, Champignon Dreams, and Purple Lune

19 Crimes Martha’s Chard is the brand’s first California chardonnay. Martha reportedly worked closely with the team at 19 Crimes and created a wine “that breaks preconceived notions of California chardonnay” and they said it’s “approachable and simultaneously as bold as her personality”. 19 Crimes Martha’s Chard will be available in California in early January and distributed nationally on Feb. 1, with a suggested retail price of $11.99 https://cheersonline.com/2022/01/06/19-crimes-launches-martha-stewart-chardonnay
And speaking of crimes - when it comes to beer - we’ve all made some poor choices. I remember when I was young, fairly broke, and the choice was made for me in the store - where I shopped for the cheapest beer in the biggest package. So - yeah - I picked some bottom of the barrel beers - which may or may not be on this list. OK, several of them are on this list of the worst beers in the world! Might be a coincidence but most of these beers are made in the US… https://www.eatthis.com/news-worst-beers-in-the-world/
Now if you want to experiment with making some good beer - then you should know what a Foeder is (hint - it’s pronounced food-er). And it’s a large oak barrel - can be horizontal or vertical - where you can age or ferment beer - whether it’s wild, sour or not. They’re used to make styles like Lambics, Flanders Red and even brown ales. So why use one - well, they’re larger than you think. Usually they start at 3x larger than a typical wine or beer barrel, but can really be as big as you need - which means they can actually save space & time in breweries. If you want to find out more about Foeders, check out the link https://www.hopculture.com/foeders/

Some beers to put on your list for the upcoming beer can appreciation day on January 24th (it’s good to plan early, right?) Well - how about you choose some of them? That’s exactly what’s happening at Stone Brewing Each year, craft breweries across the nation roll out new limited-release beers to entice beer drinkers through the seasons, but few make fans happy by bringing back tried and true brews. Stone Brewing has announced its lineup of fan favorites, voted on by loyals. Righteous Black IPA would be the standout on that list for me - but I’ve always loved black IPAs. https://mybeerbuzz.blogspot.com/2022/01/stone-brewing-looks-to-fan-votes-for.html
Sierra Nevada Brewing enters the market with a new hop-centric beverage that’s 100% free of alcohol, calories, carbs, and sugar. Hop Splash Sparkling Hop-Infused Water is Sierra Nevada’s take on the growing hop water trend that’s now about 3 years old. They start off with the “high-quality H20” that’s in their beer. The beverage in 6-packs of 12oz cans can be pre-ordered to be shipped to your door across the United States. There’s even a recurring subscription option! https://shop.sierranevada.com/products/hop-splash-sparkling-hop-infused-water-12-pack
Let’s wade into some whiskeys! ICYMI - Fred Minnick put out his list of the top Whiskeys of 2021. The list of 100encompasses all types of American whiskey: Blends of Straights, Ryes, Bourbons, Single Malts, etc. I like that he admits it’s subjective and you may not rank them the same way he did. He stands behind his top 15 though, as those were discernibly different enough to stand well above the rest. Most of the list was released on December 30th and he live-streamed the top ten to select his #1. When asked “Why did it take so long?” He said, “My team and I put our heart and soul into the Kentucky Bourbon Benefit. I am glad we did, because we raised more than $3.4 million for tornado victims. But that is why we are completing this list in January” which sounds like a damn good reason https://www.fredminnick.com/2021/12/30/best-american-whiskeys-of-2021/

Corona brewer Constellation Brands and Coca-Cola are teaming up to launch Fresca Mixed, a spirit-based cocktail, later this year. Fresca is the second non-alcoholic drink owned by Coke to be turned into a spiked version. The first was Topo Chico. Fresca Mixed appears to be based on the sparkling citrus soda water (not the soft drink) as it has zero calories and no sugar - often used as a cocktail mixer - so they say it’s an optimal choice as an RTD. No word on how many flavors will be released or an exact release date yet https://www.cnbc.com/2022/01/06/coca-cola-and-constellation-brands-team-up-to-create-alcoholic-fresca-cocktails.html
And what are people drinking across the land of milk and honey - well apparently beer. But with thousands of craft beer companies scattered across the states, what should you be drinking? Porch Drinking tries to answer that with their list of select micro-breweries from each state. They don’t claim it’s a ‘Best of’ (which is a relief) https://www.porchdrinking.com/articles/2021/12/31/craft-beer-across-america-50-beers-from-50-states/
And if you’re a wine drinker, but looking for an alcohol-free option for Dry January - or just the occasional beverage without alcohol - then a list of Rosés might be for you. Most of the bottles recommended are $20 - so not cheap. But they also give you options that are acceptable and some to steer clear of! https://www.nytimes.com/2021/12/20/dining/drinks/nonalcoholic-sparkling-roses.html

The Best German Beer in the world? OK - I’ll bite.. or rather drink. According to a panel of beer experts that list includes several tasty options. I will agree with a statement made by the founder of Wynwood Brewing Co. in Miami. He likes Oktoberfest beer, regardless of the season. So do I. So no surprise Marzen made the list - but then again no surprise Hefeweisen, Helles, and Pilsners did either. Get the rundown and reasons for the inclusion of the specific beers at https://uproxx.com/life/craft-beer-experts-tell-us-their-go-to-german-beers-for-all-seasons/
I love a good #CollaBEERation and there’s one coming in from Weldwerks, Our Mutual Friend, and Firestone Walker. Weldwerks and Our Mutual Friend have been teaming up for some time, for some West Coast IPA goodness… but now all three are teaming up with “Knock the Froth Off” which is Australian for “drinking beer”. It will be available in 16-ounce cans and on draft - check the link on how, where, and when. https://www.brewbound.com/news/weldwerks-brewing-our-mutual-friend-brewing-and-firestone-walker-team-up-on-collaboration-ipa
And you can’t just go out in January where I am without a little preparation and gear. So it goes for those venturing into Dry January, at least that’s the hope of Hairless Dog Brewing who has come out with Dry January Survival Kits. The kits include a choice of the three Hairless Dog 0% ABV craft NA beer varieties and merchandise like beanie, koozies, hats, tees, and more. The kits can be yours starting around $20 and up to about $45 at HDBrewing.com

Is Dry January healthy? Science and medicine say any cutting back on alcohol is a good thing and, ultimately how much you do is on you. Some will cut out all alcohol intake - period - though some say if you are a heavy drinker, you might have better health results by tapering off your intake. Some pledge to only have one glass of wine with food, others will cut back considerably with the aim of resetting their relationship with alcohol. For more on why you should do it, and some ways to improve your health check out the link https://nypost.com/2022/01/02/does-dry-january-actually-improve-your-health-2/
PBR went on a weird Twitter rant yesterday. They definitely had some… opinions on Dry January and what you could do with it. It sounds like someone had a bad day and just before yesterday’s podcast was out someone started deleting tweets. However, the employee in question may have been foretelling their own future as it sounds like they are out of a job and eating ass now.

And Troy Aikman has announced a New Brand: EIGHT, a Light Lager Brewed With Organic Grains. For some reason, the article claimed: “Troy Aikman Takes on Big Beer” but this sounds like another celebrity booze company - which has become as popular as ‘your mom’ jokes when I was a kid. I don’t think Troy intends to stop any of the big beer brands and probably has an exit plan of selling off his brand once he gets it big - but maybe he’s in it for the long haul. The beer has 90 calories, 2.6g carbohydrates, 4% ABV and the 12-ounce cans will come in 6 and 12 packs, with 19.2-ounce single cans. It’s expected to come out in March and has a mission to give 1% back to Texas. https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20220103005503/en/Troy-Aikman-Takes-on-Big-Beer-With-Announcement-of-New-Brand-EIGHT-an-Elite-Light-Lager-Brewed-With-Organic-Grains

A dry-hopping experiment that might surprise you, because someone decided to spend $27 in hops, $9 in shipping and a whopping $12 in bud light to see what the effects of dry-hopping would be. The person running the experiment found that of the 14 hop varieties tested, they preferred El Dorado, Citra, Strata, Azacca, and Eclipse - and had some they didn’t enjoy as much - but directed everyone to try it out themselves and see what ones you like https://hazyandhoppy.com/dry-hopping-bud-light-the-hop-tasting-experiment/ and you can buy a sampler pack of hops here https://amzn.to/3qHW1dT
A whiskey review? Yeah, and this one’s interesting It’s called Roadstock. The Whistlepig Rye Whiskey was sent on a ride all the way from Shoreham, Vermont to Los Angeles, California – and back. Before leaving half was poured in Bordeaux-blend oak casks from Jordan Winery, The other half remained in new oak for the trip. Once the halfway point was reached, the whiskey in new oak went into barrels that had held Firestone Walker Brewery’s Imperial Stout, Imperial Blonde Ale, and Experimental Ale. When they returned - it was all blended back together. Check out the rest of the story and review in full at https://thewhiskeywash.com/reviews/whistlepig-roadstock-rye/
A non-alcoholic beer for those exploring Dry January. How about Four! Brooklyn Brewery's New Special Effects Non-Alcoholic Beer Lineup includes a Pilsner, IPA, Hazy IPA, and Hoppy Amber.

The Best Cocktail Mixers are there to help to enlarge your drink, break back the alcohol, add another layer of flavor, and make the cocktail complete. The best ones are often simple, but not always. To Have the best mixers, you can look to a number of canned sodas, add in some bitters or citrus and you have a complete drink - and it can even be alcohol-free. Here’s a list of simple mixers that link to complete recipes if you need more direction. https://www.falstaff.com/en/nd/the-best-cocktail-mixers/
Is it ever OK to put ice in wine? Of course, it is! If you bought it - you can have it however you like. It’s no longer considered sacrilege by many and it’s common to see ice in rose wine during the summer months in France. However, isn’t just for those hot summer nights if you want to cool yourself or your wine down anytime. If you want to have the best experience, then maybe check the list from Winemag https://www.winemag.com/2021/12/20/ice-in-wine/
And continuing with the wine and non-alcoholic beverages as we head toward a dry January for many. Is NA wine, basically grape juice? No - it’s crafted and the alcohol is often removed from these beverages, just like others. Learn more about that process and the winemakers from California, Spain, and others who are removing the alcohol for their customers from brands like Teetotaler, Leitz, and Surely https://www.thrillist.com/drink/nation/everything-you-need-to-know-about-alcohol-removed-wine

Did you know that 17% of all champagne delivered is during the month of December, while March and April are the slowest months? Also - you don’t have to fork over $200 for a bottle of Dom Perignon (though you could) - you can also get winners for around $75 like Veuve Clicquot or about $20 for La Marca Prosecco. Check out the recommended bottles of bubbly at https://nypost.com/2021/12/16/toast-the-new-year-with-the-best-champagnes-and-sparkling-wines/
Or maybe you’re sticking to beer, well you should have the best beer available for this time of year, right? Apparently, I’m not alone in this being my favorite time of year for stouts, porters, and the like - this list features one I nearly bought earlier today (but there’s always tomorrow, right?) Briefcase Porter from Exhibit “A” Brewing in Massachusetts, Smoke and Dagger Black Lager from Jack’s Abbey, and Straight Jacket Barleywine Ale from Revolution Brewing. Check out the rest at https://coolmaterial.com/food-drink/best-craft-beer-winter-2021/
And if it’s just too daunting to go out into the world, or maybe it’s just too cozy on the couch, delivery of your booze is an ever-growing option. You might only know about one or two on this list - but Forbes vetted 14 services. Small local delivery services also seem to be popping up all over - so check with your local bottle and can dispensary to see if you’re in the dark! Check out the full list at https://www.forbes.com/sites/forbes-personal-shopper/2021/12/27/alcohol-delivery-services/

If you have anyone over around the holidays, especially New Year’s Eve - you’ll likely end up with a spill. If it’s a light-colored beer or wine, not always as big an issue - but cleaning up Red Wine can be a pain. This list should help you keep your carpets & wood surfaces looking like the spill never happened… but your mileage may vary! https://www.winespectator.com/articles/how-to-clean-up-spilled-wine-and-remove-stains
Apparently, Vermont is an “Under the radar beer scene” I guess that’s what people mean when they refer to the “cultish following” that people have because it’s a limited audience that understands how good #vtbeer is! According to HopCulture, CT, NH, NJ, and SC are all under the radar too. Find out what you might have been missing! https://www.hopculture.com/best-beer-states-2021/
If you’re a gin lover, you might have a few drinks you’ve learned to make - but this list promises to teach you several classics - from a proper Gin and tonic, Gimlet, Tom Collins, to James Bond’s Vesper Martini it’s sure to have a match for your palate from among the variety of flavor combinations https://www.tastingtable.com/443632/cocktails-to-try-if-you-like-drinking-gin/

Everyone who knows golf has heard about the 19th hole, but the relationship with golf runs deep - according to Golf.com and Untappd there are Hundreds of beers with “golf” in the name, add in birdies, bogeys, irons, wedges, and putters… you see where this is going. Well, they put together a list of the 9 best.. though I can’t for the life imagine why they didn’t play all the way through to 18 https://golf.com/lifestyle/there-beers-golf-name-9-best/
We’ve heard many states accept that there’s a problem, but Ohio has changed its liquor laws to allow 18-year-old servers. Other states are asking for 17, but at least they’re moving in the right direction! They also allowed more outdoor drinking, Sunday sales, Home-brew rules, Gift cards, and auctions… under certain conditions. https://www.dispatch.com/story/news/2021/12/22/ohio-changes-its-homebrew-liquor-laws-lowers-age-serve-alcohol/6499307001/
And as we approach “Dry January” I’m continuing to bring you stories of NA and Low ABV beverages. This time for wine lovers - as a site has amassed a list of 12 Non-Alcoholic wines for those who have a proper palate, but haven’t found a product that they find pleasing. Again - the people behind the list say this doesn’t appear to be an anti-alcohol movement but rather a pro-health, wellness, and mindfulness movement. The list contains bubbly, whites, reds, and rosé wines. https://www.purewow.com/wine/non-alcoholic-wines

“Cocktails To Go” has another state allowing the beverage trend to stick around for a while. 16 States made ‘to go’ cocktails a permanent fixture.

Every Wine lover needs a cork holder that spells out their love for wine, right? Well, those are certainly available on this list - but there are, thankfully, other options available too. Maybe you need a decanter, a way to clean your decanter, or some fancy vacuum sealer (which may or may not prolong the life of your opened bottle of wine), but chances are you might find a great last-minute gift on this list. I admit there have been times I printed up a picture of something I ordered for someone - so they had a gift to open on the special day, but wouldn’t actually arrive until well after that day. https://parade.com/1304576/karlarodriguez/gifts-for-wine-lovers/
If you’re taking a weekend off from drinking, not done your workday, or headed to a gathering but need to have your wits about you… here’s a list of non-alcoholic beers that allow you to have a few drinks with your friends, but still be safe to jump into whatever the rest of your night holds. I would add that the Food and wine folks should also try Rescue Club IPA but that’s just one of my favorites https://www.rescueclubbrewing.com/beer/p/rescue-club-ipa and the full list at https://www.foodandwine.com/drinks/best-nonalcoholic-beers
The New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services and New Hampshire Brewers Association got together to launch the Sustainable Craft Beverage Recognition Program. It expands on prior work the state has been doing and was created as a way to publicly recognize and encourage craft beverage producers who are, preventing pollution and improving energy efficiency, conserving water, minimizing waste, and other similar steps.

Many of the ‘Top beers’ of the year are made by brewers, judges, and experts, but what does the general public think? Well, the closest to that may be the list from Untappd (you can friend me at https://untappd.com/user/BoozeBaconBoy). Some might be surprised at Tripel Karmeliet from Brouwerij Bosteels, but then reassured that Miller Lite, Heineken, and Yeungling Lager made the list and Guinness topped it! https://www.thedrinksbusiness.com/2021/12/the-10-most-popular-beers-in-the-world-in-2021-according-to-untappd/
And what do you do if you want to have a drink or two, and don’t like craft beer or seltzer and one bottle of wine is just too much? That’s probably where Canned low-alcohol wines have come in and they’re expected to gain a lot of traction in the coming year. Canned wines are certainly fairly new, but canned wine with a 5% - 6% ABV is a growing global trend, being driven by the younger American market’s palates. The story also has a link to boxed wines making a comeback https://www.thedrinksbusiness.com/2021/12/low-alcohol-canned-wine-rtds-set-to-boom-in-2022/
And a bonus fight! That thankfully didn’t happen. Bud Light and Yuengling almost had a tiff, but thankfully cooler heads seem to have prevailed. It all stemmed from an alleged trampling of the trademarked phrase “next generation of light beer." This is the best non-fight between the two since Yuengling said “Get off my lawn." about two years ago! Read more at https://news.yahoo.com/yuengling-accuses-bud-light-trampling-161135213.html

Craft beverage producers are welcoming the addition of American Canning’s expanding operations.

The Louisiana Craft Brewers Guild has put up more than 30 billboards in Lake Charles to urge lawmakers in town for the annual LegisGator event to take a hard look at how the state regulates the craft beer industry. They argue the rules governing the industry are outdated and not only holding back the sector’s growth, which it considers a costly mistake but pushing things backward for the industry in the state. Lawmakers were tasked with researching the topic last year, but it looks like little progress has been made https://www.businessreport.com/business/louisiana-craft-brewers-launch-public-campaign-for-regulation-overhaul
And if you’re looking for a drink that gets you in the mood for the holidays, maybe a spiced cider should be on your list. I’ve had several of the ones on this list and would definitely have again. Downeast Cider Donut, Woodchuck Hard Cider Spiced Apple, and Doc’s Draft Cranberry Spice Cider promise the flavors to compliment any holiday meal this year, though, from my experience, they can be consumed without the meal! https://www.ciderculture.com/winter-spiced-ciders/

Sometimes a beverage was crafted to get headlines and, I think that is true of two stories today - but what the heck! Lays has now created their own potato Vodka! Eastside Distilling worked with Lays, and the potatoes they make the chips with, to blend with Lay’s proprietary potatoes. No Sour Cream and Onion or BBQ flavors here (yet anyway) it’s a straight vodka with a crisp, clean finish. https://www.foodandwine.com/news/lays-potato-chip-vodka
Now for the second… A Soda Flavored Beer? Yup - it’s a thing now… if it wasn’t already. Islla Street Brewing has created the side flavored beer - a Berliner Weisse that’s bright red, sour, and apparently goes really well with barbacoa tacos. Yesterday marked the second drop and, according to their site, is already sold out online! https://cbsaustin.com/news/local/big-red-flavored-beer-from-san-antonio-brewery-hit-the-shelves-at-h-e-b-stores-craft-beer-iconic-tradition-barbacoa
Sometimes, when you have a tasting of any drink - you can be surprised by the winner. Apparently, that’s what happened to a team who assembled to test the ‘best bourbons of 2021’. The top five included Bob Dylan’s Heaven’s Door - Master’s Edition, Woodinville Port Cask, and (the winner) Elijah Craig Barrel Proof. I’ll say this - I had some Elijah Craig this summer and it was fantastic, though I’m no judge. https://uproxx.com/life/best-bourbons-2021-blind-taste-test-ranking/

Coming up on Saturday, December 18, California-based St. George Spirits will release a whiskey in partnership with Sierra Nevada. The new small-batch whiskey is distilled from Sierra Nevada's Ruthless Rye IPA. The batch was distilled back in 2013 and has been left to age in barrels for the last eight years. The finished blend also includes some of St. George's first Single Malt Whiskey from 1997. Look for it to cost about $75 a bottle and be fairly hard to find! https://www.thrillist.com/news/nation/sierra-nevada-whiskey-beer-st-george-spirits
Ohio’s Hoppin’ Frog has a Collaboration too - this time with a barrel-aged BORIS beer (Barrel-aged, Royal Oatmeal Imperial Stout), made with Knoxville Tennessee’s McScrooge’s Wine and Spirits. You can try to get it through Hoppin’ Frog’s Rare Beer Club or at McScrooge’s when it’s released https://shop.hoppinfrog.com/beer-1/rarebeerclub2022
And consumers continue to pay top dollar for cocktails, beer, and wine with no alcohol. Research has now been unveiled that says many of those drinking these beverages aren't giving up alcohol for good though. Alcohol analysis firm IWSR said 58% of no- and low-alcohol consumers still drink but in moderation. The movement is being pushed by younger audiences who are more focused on wellness than prior generations, though it’s trickling through to all groups of consumers. https://www.cnbc.com/2021/12/09/more-are-drinking-alcohol-free-cocktails-beer-and-wine-heres-why.html

And I hear the words “Cape May, NJ” all the time from several I know who travel there… not to meet the cast of Jersey Shore - but to photograph bird migrations. Well, there’s now another reason to migrate there - because Cape May Brewing and The Original Fudge Kitchen have collaborated on Chocolate Fudge Stout, it’s a part of the brewery's 10-year anniversary celebration series of limited-run beers. In my book there’s never a bad time for a stout or fudge, but especially when they’re together! The beer has chocolate rye, chocolate malt, and - of course - the Original Fudge Kitchen’s chocolate fudge for flavoring. https://www.nj.com/cape-may-county/2021/12/jersey-shore-beer-fudge-worlds-collide-in-cape-may-brewings-chocolate-stout-mash-up.html

They’re eying expansion across Europe and into the United States as they have now packaged 300,000 bottles this year, hoping to reach up to three million bottles a year! The nuns, but the way, allow themselves one bottle each on Sundays. https://news.yahoo.com/centuries-belgian-nuns-beer-134026947.html Schwarzbier, also known as black lager, is starting to have its moment in the US where there has been a 400% increase in just the past two years. It seems especially popular in the warmer weather areas from South Carolina to Southern California where stouts and porters seem too heavy, but people still want the roasted malt, coffee, and chocolate flavors in a lighter body beer.

One thing’s for sure, there are now more options than ever in craft brewing and that shows by the list of The 12 Best New Breweries of 2021. One outfit, Rescue Club Brewing, stands out on that list. Zero Gravity Brewing, along with Citizen Cider Co-Founder Kris Nelson, developed proprietary technology to craft a beer that’s fun, approachable, and delicious - while also alcohol-free. https://www.hopculture.com/best-new-breweries-2021/
As hard seltzer now seems to be everywhere a new contender is on the market Funny Water launches as an “alternative to carbonated alcoholic beverages.” The creators say “If you’re not a fan of bubbles and the bloat that often comes with carbonation, your starting point was typically 14%. We saw a unique opportunity to fill this void, creating a lower-alcohol entry point for a widely underserved consumer.” https://cheersonline.com/2021/12/07/funny-water/
And while the legal drinking age doesn’t seem to be going anywhere - there’s a new push to lower the legal serving age to 17. The Detroit News story claims that Northern Michigan needs service workers and the pandemic made that need the number one issue for bars and restaurants, according to the executive director of the Michigan Licensed Beverage Association. I'm sure it’s an issue that affects many other areas currently having a heck of a time with staffing https://www.detroitnews.com/story/news/local/michigan/2021/12/11/michigan-alcohol-servers-age-limit-reduction-worker-shortage/6471367001/

Want a beer with some History. Atlas Obscura sat down with Sam Caliglione of Dogfish Head to talk about Historical beers. Sam’s been tackling them since 1990. One beer in the article is a porter made from a recipe George Washington shared in a letter in 1757. It’s now part of the “Ales of the Revolution” series by Yard’s Brewing. https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/recreating-historical-beers
Now that the rumors have been dispelled, Grey Goose is returning to the shelves in markets where it’s been conspicuously absent. What Rumors? It was alleged that Grey Goose wasn’t Kosher! Rabbi Dayan cleared up any confusion, writing “I hereby come to clarify unequivocally in an unambiguous way that all the alcohol that is brought to the Grey Goose factory is produced from wheat which grows in the Picardie region in France (and not grapes),”.

Tis the season for mulled wines. You might want to buy some off the shelf, or you could make your own. Traditional glögg spices include clove, cardamom, ginger, orange, and cinnamon sticks. Home mixologists can make an infusion, or simply heat the wine up on the stove with the spices to meld the flavor. Experts recommend shiraz and cabernet sauvignon, but in a pinch, Merlot would work too. More at https://www.denverpost.com/2021/12/08/mulled-wine-colorado/
If Stouts and Porters are more your speed for wintry drinks, maybe look to chocolate flavors with your beer! Personally, I’d compare this list of Rogue, Yeungling, Faction, and others to a comparable beer I could find locally - but these are all a good start for the chocolatey goodness! https://uproxx.com/life/best-beers-for-fans-of-chocolate/

It’s a wonderful time of the year - not Christmas - it’s when breweries start the early reveal of next year’s release calendar!
And mark me as wrong, I thought that Stouts were the more popular style this time of year - but it’s actually Hazy IPA’s (and red wine) that own the winter months! If you’re having a hard time choosing one, and don’t have a local brewery whose brews knock your socks off - this list from HopCulture might help you find a widely available (but still great) IPA in a store near you. https://www.hopculture.com/best-hazy-ipas-available-in-most-stores-right-now/
It looks like Drizly plans to stock up on RTD’s and craft beer that stores well - especially in areas with a lot of rain or snow in the winter months. Apparently, sales spike when it’s not great outside (which makes sense, but the numbers prove it). Several other interesting, if a bit of a dry read, news tidbits on the top predictions by Drizly for this winter are at https://bevalcinsights.com/bevalc-insights-top-predictions-for-winter-201-2022-sales/
Science and beer have finally come together. I mean - outside of the in-house labs that exist to make sure the yeast is working at top efficiency and everything meets quality standards. No - I mean the pharmaceutical and biotech industry’s R&D company Scientist.com and Pizza Port Brewing Co. have collaborated to create “The Local Experiment”. Apparently, the two are practically neighbors and celebrate two of San Diego’s most famous attributes - biotech and beer - learn more at https://www.brewbound.com/news/scientist-com-and-pizza-port-brewing-company-co-create-local-beer-celebrating-san-diego-culture

Did you know that yesterday we celebrated the United States' only Constitutional Holiday? #NationalRepealDay is December 5th and celebrates the end of prohibition. The Temperance Movement started in the 1800s and finally ended up with prohibition on January 16, 1919. It ended many breweries, distilleries and led to laws that still have echoes today. However, December 5th, 1933 saw the end of prohibition. So raise a glass. Find out more at https://moonshineuniversity.com/repeal-day-americas-only-constitutional-holiday/
Burlington Vermont is a hotbed of beer, and now it’s also home to a cooperative brewery - Full Barrel Co-op Brewery & Taproom. They’re now officially licensed to brew beer by the state of Vermont. So what’s a Cooperative Brewery? To oversimplify - it’s a group of people choosing to work together toward a common goal. In this case Beer. Rather than shortchange what they’re doing, the FAQ at their website is probably the best place to get more info http://www.fullbarrel.coop/faq
Stouts are, undoubtedly popular, especially this time of year for many people. Like many beers, it can be a building block for adding all manner of other flavors. S’mores, waffles, raspberries, and chocolates are just some that come to mind. VinePair has a recipe they share called “Choose Your Own Adventure Stout” and some ways to make it your own - from milk, oatmeal to imperial, and pastry stouts. Think of it like the LEGO baseplate that you start a build from. I might just have to brew this one soon! https://vinepair.com/articles/choose-your-own-adventure-stout-recipes/

About 10 miles north of Downtown Philadelphia you’ll find a new and small Native American owned brewery called Big Chief Brewing. While the shutdowns stalled their growth in their new spot, they’re now settling in and you can stop in for a Hazy Hiawatha IPA, Scout Stout, or Old Pale Face (to name a few).

Speaking of stouts, despite what you may have heard, and even what numbers may have said, Stouts are here to stay. Apparently, the beverage, like many things, took a hit with shutdowns. Most people, myself included, prefer a draught over a can or bottle. “Stout Sells” seems to be the word with the beverage seemingly as popular as ever, including with those under 30. Don’t take my word for it - the Irish Times has more https://www.irishtimes.com/life-and-style/food-and-drink/the-state-of-stout-despite-its-doomsayers-the-national-tipple-is-here-to-stay-1.4695325
Another story from the UK because it’s Jeremy Clarkson, from the proper version of Top Gear, who is producing Hawkstone on the Cotswold farm or ‘Diddly Squat Farm” as he calls it… you may have seen on his “Clarkson’s Farm” show on Amazon Prime.

From Argentina to California, the wine industry is currently facing an acute glass shortage that is hurting small wineries particularly and forcing larger ones to think about the supply chain and ordering next years glass now. American Vintners have been struggling for decades. Tarrifs made some overseas options too costly and so they’ve been ordering glass from South America - where one of the producers had a fire a few months ago, putting pressure on the others to try and ramp up production. Delays hurt small producers who have been putting current wine into bladders to make room for this year’s wine, some just bottled last years wines in August. https://www.winespectator.com/articles/winemakers-face-global-supply-chain-woes
Manchester, NH based Iron Heart Canning has just expanded, this time into the Minnesota Craft Market.

In Microbrewery News, the Tunbridge, VT area will again have a general store, a world-famous fair and is also the home to its own brewery, Upper Pass Beer Co. Residents of this great community may never leave town again - especially since a planned two-story addition and facility space increase will allow brewing capacity to grow from 10-15 barrels a week to 40! Those mainly will be small batch releases and new recipes as Upper Pass currently produces 600 to 800 barrels per month at von Trapp Brewery in Stowe, Vermont (https://www.vontrappbrewing.com).

Today is National Recycling Day
Last week I told you about Vermont and Massachusetts making moves to recycle the plastic can holders, well now the news is coming in that The San Diego community of craft breweries are coming together with the San Diego Brewcycling Collaborative. They originally looked at Paktechs but found several other opportunities for re-use and recycling. Now, they’re bringing the rest of the beverage industry together and using program support and education on how to sort, separate, and prepare recyclable items to be responsibly processed https://www.craftbrewingbusiness.com/news/san-diego-breweries-team-up-on-recycling-efforts-start-the-brewcycling-collaborative/
And Rogue Ales & Spirits announces its commitment to sustainability with new recyclable packaging. Rogue is switching all product packaging from plastic rings to 100% recyclable wrap packs in an effort to reduce waste and send 100,000 fewer pounds of plastic waste to landfills annually. In addition to reducing plastic waste, the wrap pack substrate is responsibly sourced through sustainable forestry practices.https://www.rogue.com/stories/rogue-s-transition-to-wrap-packs

Another interesting collab, though one I’m less likely to drink - Boston Beer’s “Green Rebel Brewing Company” has teamed up with PepsiCo to release Hard Mountain Dew in Baja Blast and Watermelon flavors. It’s got zero sugar, 5% ABV, and 100 calories per 12 ounces. It will be available in 12-ounce and 24-ounce cans - no word yet on a release date, but is it fair to say it’s too soon? https://mybeerbuzz.blogspot.com/2021/11/boston-beer-pepsico-adding-hard-mtn-dew.html
Some interesting facts I learned about Cider… Cider is federally regulated as wine and, thanks to the Wine industry ciders have the right to sell direct-to-consumer. Also, Ciders under 7% ABV are regulated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and face less labeling and packaging restrictions than ciders over 7% ABV, which are regulated by the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB). Cider over 7% ABV can’t use vintage dating to delineate the impact of the season on an apple’s harvest and resulting cider. And, the last one, Ciders made with any non-apple/non-pear fruits are regulated as fruit wine - which has a whole different set of regulations.

And did you know that only one-tenth of the plastic beer carriers get recycled? Most people toss them in a recycle bin, but plastic carriers and six-pack rings are incompatible with sorting equipment. As a result, they get rejected and sent to landfills or incinerated. The Eco Friendly Beer Drinker is driving an initiative to change that, recently announcing programs in VT and Massachusetts, working with recyclers and breweries to collect and reuse the carriers while also looking for more eco-conscious options https://ecofriendlybeer.com/

From Jack’s Abbey - look for a special Pride and Parquet Hoppy Lager (for a limited time). According to the brewery, “The NBA will be celebrating 75 years this season and the Celtics are one of the two original teams to keep their name and city for that entire history. That’s an incredible accomplishment and something to be proud of. We wanted to punctuate this moment with a commemorative, limited edition can that reflects the heritage and pride of the Celtics over 75 years and gives our fans something special.” http://thebrewermagazine.com/jacks-abby-releases-limited-edition-design-of-pride-and-parquet/
According to Winemag - something very special happened in 2019 that’s making mid-priced wines (from $12 - $20/bottle) taste like ones twice their price! Santa Barbara-based Doug Margerum said, “2019 is the greatest vintage since 2007… It was a very, very cool, mild summer and morphed into a cool fall harvest.” Which apparently helped develop a smooth harvest, fermentation, and full flavors. https://www.winemag.com/2021/10/21/best-california-pinot-noir-vintage/
MBC just said in January that they are is a fiercely local company and has remained steadfast regarding local production. The MBC team are stewards of their communities and the ‘aina, and curators of the craft beer way of life, but apparently, they couldn’t see their way out of supply chain issues that led them to work with Sleeping Giant to make Maui Hard Seltzer on the mainland. The bonus, “Sleeping Giant Sleeping Giant has the capabilities, skill, and expertise to ensure that MHS is produced at the caliber our fans rely on from us” and MHS will reduce the carbon footprint of the seltzer’s distribution on the mainland by skipping the shipping from Hawaii! http://thebrewermagazine.com/maui-hard-seltzer-broadens-mainland-production/

Benriach Smoke Season uses a seasonal beaded malt approach that’s batch distilled and matured in first-fill bourbon barrels, combined with a high proportion of charred and toasted American virgin oak casks. Smoke Season is the most intensely smoked whisky to be released by the distillery and comes in at about $72 per 750 ml bottle. https://cheersonline.com/2021/10/20/benriach-releases-malting-smoke-season-scotch-whiskies/
