Fog City Social 2025: A Whiskey Experience Like No Other

On April 26, 2025, whiskey lovers from across the country gathered at the Historic Ring Con Center in San Francisco for the fourth installment of Fog City Social . More than just a festival, Fog City Social has earned a reputation for being a carefully curated celebration of community, craftsmanship, and connection.

Review: Bluegrass Bitters 5-Spice Orange Bitters and Smoky Simple Syrup

We don’t often get excited about cocktail components, but every now and then something new comes along that makes us rethink the idea of at-home mixology. In this week’s episode of the Film & Whiskey Podcast , we tried two products from a husband-and-wife company out of Louisville, Kentucky: Bluegrass Bitters ™. Their core offerings, a Smoky Simple Syrup and a 5-Spice Orange Bitters, promise a shortcut to elevated cocktails without a lot of effort. We wanted to see if they deliver. So we mixed up some drinks, tried each product on its own, and gave our honest impressions.  Smoky Simple Syrup: Sweet, Smoky, and Surprisingly Balanced Bob: I'm going to start with the Smoky Simple Syrup. I’ll go on record and say, smoky stuff is really hit or miss for me. When it's done poorly, it just tastes like liquid smoke. It feels artificial.
