Is Craft Beer Resetting in 2026? What Beer Drinkers Need to Know
The craft beer industry has always evolved, but 2026 feels different. For years, craft beer experienced explosive growth fueled by new brewery openings, limited releases, hazy IPAs, pastry stouts, and an endless stream of innovation. Today, however, many beer drinkers are beginning to notice a shift. Brewery closures continue to make headlines, overall growth has slowed, and consumers are making different purchasing decisions than they did just a few years ago. So, is craft beer declining? Not necessarily. It may simply be resetting. The Era of Unlimited Growth Is Over For much of the last decade, it seemed like every community welcomed another brewery. Consumers eagerly sought out the newest releases, chased limited cans, and traveled to experience unique taprooms. Today's market looks much different. Breweries now face: Higher ingredient costs Increased operating expenses Greater competition than ever before More cautious consumer spending Changing drinking habits Rather than endless

🍷 The Veneto Wine Vacation Nobody Tells You About
Most people who visit the Veneto never actually see the Veneto. They land at Venice Marco Polo airport, take a water taxi into the city, spend three days walking over bridges and eating near the Rialto, and then fly home. Which is wonderful, truly. Venice is extraordinary. But it’s also... The post 🍷 The Veneto Wine Vacation Nobody Tells You About appeared first on The Finest Italian Wine .
podcast· 58:15· S9E11Season 9 - Episode 11 - Corollary & Bryn Mawr
Two women. Two very different paths into wine. One seriously good conversation. On this episode of Wine Crush Podcast, Heidi sits down with Jeanne Feldkamp, co-founder and winemaker at Corollary Wines, and Rachel Rose, winemaker and vineyard director at Bryn Mawr Vineyards , for a deep dive into sparkling wine, science, farming, creativity, and the ever-evolving story of Oregon wine. Jeanne and her partner, Dan Diephouse, founded Corollary Wines with one very specific mission: explore what the Willamette Valley can express through traditional-method sparkling wine. After producing their first Oregon vintage in 2017, they went all-in on bubbles. In 2022, they purchased 57 acres in the Eola-Amity Hills and began developing a vineyard specifically designed for sparkling wine production, with regenerative agriculture at the heart of the project. Jeanne has also become a driving force in Oregon’s growing sparkling-wine movement as a co-founder of Method Oregon . ( Corollary Wines ) Then th

In the vineyard, however, equipment cleaning is often viewed more as a maintenance task than an operational priority. Throughout the season, sprayers, trimmers, mowers and […] The post A fresh look at equipment hygiene appeared first on Vineyard Magazine .

This Costa Mesa Market Serves Up Drinks and Street‑Market Energy
The Best Drink Ever recently rolled into Mercado González with 1921 Tequila in tow, ready to drink in the whole scene—literally. This place isn’t just a market; it’s a living, breathing slice of Mexico dropped in the heart of Costa Mesa. The air is thick with the scent of roasting meat and simmering stews. Fresh tortillas stack high like edible currency. Families fill their carts with produce for Sunday dinner, while friends lean against counters inhaling street‑style tacos. Somewhere, a cumbia beat drifts through the markets. Mercado González is flavor, tradition, and community all crammed under one roof—and the kind of place that makes you hungry for everything at once. And tucked into one corner of this bustling mercado is Entre Nos , a craft cocktail bar that doesn’t feel like any other bar in Orange County. Mexa vibes. Good times. ✔️ Margaritas and Micheladas. ✔️ Grab a cocktail while your esposa is shopping. ✔️✔️ Entre Nos is all about flavor, ritual and just the right amo

The traditional pub bar is pretty annoying and badly designed

Would you also put large display cards on each of those posts, and a charity collection tin to one side, and till on the other?
