Good News!
A quick break in the scheduled postings - trust me, I carried on my bitter and pub adventures in the UK after flying to and from Inverness - but this is good news that needs sharing. On Wednesday an email was sent out that I have actually been expecting for a few weeks now, but I didn't want to let the cat out of the bag. Simply put, Murphy & Rude are not going out of business. But first, a tale of how I learnt that news. When it became public that Jeff and co were going to be closing down, I said to Mrs V that I needed to make a big order of malt to see me through the rest of my brewing year. To that end I bought a 50lb/22.7kg of Virginia Pils, and one of English Pale - they are, after all the base of pretty much all of my beers. Also as part of that order I got 25lb/11.4kg bags of Vienna and Biscuit malts; 10lb/4.5kg bags of white wheat and brown malts; and 5lb/2.3kg bags of Munich 9, Munich 15, and Americano (basically pale chocolate) malts; oh and a packet of Greenmont Mother h

Every year I take a fresh look at Spotted Wing Drosophila. This continual research has highlighted that the problem has become more entrenched in our landscape.

Pinot power at affordable prices
Pinot Noir is one of the world’s most notoriously difficult and expensive red grape varieties to grow, with only a handful of regions in the world producing top quality results on a consistent basis.

India’s Alcobev Industry is Booming despite Global Negative Growth
India’s alcoholic beverage sector is rapidly evolving into a massive consumer-driven industry, powered by premiumisation, rising disposable incomes, urban lifestyle changes, and strong brand loyalty. As consumer preferences shift towards quality over quantity, the industry is witnessing a strong premiumisation wave across whisky, craft spirits, wine, beer, and ready-to-drink (RTD) beverages. The market is projected to grow from USD 208.3 billion in 2026 to USD 312.4 billion by 2036, reflecting steady long-term demand. According to industry estimates, India’s alcobev market is expected to cross ₹5.3 lakh crore in revenues, driven by a young population, increasing urbanisation, and changing social attitudes towards alcohol consumption. Consumers are increasingly “drinking less but choosing better,” trading up from economy brands to premium and super-premium offerings, particularly in whisky, craft gin, and Indian single malts.
