The Session #145 — Critique not Criticism
For the March 2025 edition of The Session I’m asking participants to produce a piece of critical writing about beer or pubs. This could be a review of a beer you’ve enjoyed, or perhaps one you haven’t. A pub you’re fond of, or maybe one that has room for improvement. You could write about a beer experience (or lack of) in a setting such as a restaurant, or even produce a critique that focuses on a particular aspect of beer or pub culture. The aim is not to be judgemental, subjective or to showcase any particular bias; this is not some finger-wagging exercise. Whereas criticism involves building an argument about why you think something is simply good or bad, critique involves taking a more holistic approach, using carefully researched and considered analysis to build a reasoned, objective, and possibly even entertaining take that benefits readers by giving them good quality information to consider. Last year I wrote about how there is a general lack of criticism in beer writing , and c

Guide to the Malbec Grape & its wines Malbec, Argentinian Malbec in particular, is one of the most popular red wines in the UK. It was long considered one of the ‘beefiest’ red wines and became a staple house wine for many pubs and restaurants, initially increasing its popularity.

podcast· 25:11· Ep 12Winiarska Majorka: Los Dos Caballeros - z miłości do miejsca i wina
Walter Kraushaar, współzałożyciel Los Dos Caballeros, to Niemiec, który porzucił świat finansów, by wrócić do rodzinnych korzeni winiarskich – tym razem na Majorce. Jego dziadek był winiarzem nad rzeką Lahn, a dzieciństwo spędzone w winnicy ukształtowało marzenie o własnych winach, które zrealizowało się dopiero po latach pracy w bankowości.W Los Dos Caballeros Walter, wraz z Williamem Stanleyem, od zera stworzyli ekologiczne gospodarstwo na dziewiczym, wcześniej nieuprawianym komercyjnie terenie: dawne kaparowe poletka, kilka starych migdałowców i zrujnowana finca zamieniły się w nowoczesną, ale świadomie „bez fajerwerków” prowadzoną winnicę. Dwaj Panowie uprawiają zarówno lokalne odmiany (Manto Negro, Callet), jak i międzynarodowe szczepy dobrane pod kątem klimatu i własnych preferencji – Sauvignon Blanc, ciepłolubny Grenache idealny na rosé i lekkie czerwone, uzupełniony bardziej „cielistym” Merlotem.Projekt Waltera i Williama to coś więcej niż wino: to konsekwentna filozofia zrów
