That Sunny Pub Garden Isn’t Telling You the Whole Story
When you walk past a pub garden and you see people drinking in the sunshine, what’s the first thought that runs through your head? Is it: “I’m so jealous, I want a drink too!” or “Lucky them…” or “Perhaps I could just have one…” If you’re trying to take a break from drinking right now, […] The post That Sunny Pub Garden Isn’t Telling You the Whole Story appeared first on The Sober School .

Grands Jours in Burgundy
Spotlight on the 2023 and 2024 Burgundy vintages across the Côte d’Or. The 2023 vintage stands out for its generosity, high yields, and wines that are fruity, balanced, and approachable even in their youth. The 2024 vintage, marked by extreme weather conditions, low yields, and rigorous selection, produces precise, taut, and concentrated wines with remarkable aging potential. The event concludes with a tasting of the 2016 Clos Vougeot, a prime example of the depth and complexity of great Burgundy wines.

Backroom barrels
Ireland's most bijou beer festival returned to the rear of Smiddy's Bar on a glorious day in late April. Combining two previous themes of the event, this was officially the Mullingar Wild Beer & Cask Festival, although willd beer was a little in short supply, with Third Barrel shoring up that bulwark by serving a couple of its well-established (and delicious) Brett beers. On the cask side, Rough Brothers of Derry was a new addition. I encountered their IPA at the CAMRA festival in Belfast last November . I said it was clean and simple but unexciting, and that's very much the case for their Northern Pale Ale  as well. This is only 4.5% ABV, but I'm fully aware that other cask brewers can do a lot, flavourwise, within that parameter. This offers a clean and crisp base, like a cream cracker or water biscuit, and then an extremely mild hop bitterness which threatens to become actually citric but never quite manages it. My guess is they're going for something retro with these. They

How Beer-Based Small Businesses Can Make a Great Impression at Local Events
Beer-based small business owners—whether you run a microbrewery, taproom, craft beer brand, or specialty beer-infused product company—face a unique challenge at local events: you’re often surrounded by noise.

St. Innocent
Here are the beautiful new sparkling wines by St. Innocent. One of the great estates in Oregon, St. Innocent was founded by Oregon Wine Pioneer, Mark Vlossak. Mark has a longstanding history in the Oregon wine industry as the first single vineyard Pinot Noir made by Mark dates back to 1989 from the O’Connor Vineyard. In 2006 Mark set up his winery at that same site of his first single vineyard wine, which is now named the Zenith Vineyard. For years I have loved Mark’s Pinot Noirs which exude class in their elegance and flavor range. Vlossak makes some of the finest Pinot Gris and Pinot Blanc in the state, as his wines have a knack for landing on my Top 100. I love the 2021 St. Innocent ‘Cremant d’Innocent’ Sparkling Wine (OB, 93) which is entirely made from Freedom Hill Pinot Blanc grapes. Learn more about these awesome wines at https://stinnocentwine.com Here are the great new releases by St. Innocent.  2021 St. Innocent ‘Crement’ Rose Sparkling Wine - Composed from mostly P
