Why are horse brasses a pub thing?
Ask someone to describe the décor of a traditional pub and they might well mention horse brasses. Horse brasses are yellow-metal plates or plaques originally used to decorate horse harnesses. In pubs, they’re often nailed to the wall or displayed on black leather straps known as ‘martingales’. But why have they historically been a go-to […] Why are horse brasses a pub thing? originally posted at Boak & Bailey's Beer Blog

Everything You Know About Don Papa Is a Lie: The Secret Bottle Swap
If you have been wandering down the spirits aisle for the last few years you have watched a masterclass in corporate gaslighting. The bottle is instantly familiar. It is heavy when you pick if off the shelf and it features that lush and overly curated Sugarlandia packaging. It looks like a Steampunk nightmare. It is...

Roy Rogers Drink
The Roy Rogers drink is a refreshing classic mocktail. If you have ever loved a Shirley Temple, you will love this recipe. Similar to the Shirley Temple it’s simply a lot more fun to order a drink named after a famous actor than a basic cola with grenadine. Roy Rogers, known as King of the Cowboys,…

Review: Michter’s US-1 Barrel Strength Sour Mash Whiskey 2026
Michter’s launched its first barrel strength product, Barrel Strength Rye, in 2015 and followed it up not long after with a barrel strength offering of their core US-1 Bourbon.

Oak & Mirrors Imperial Porter which- Brehon x Two Stacks
[Beer Review] I cracked open the Oak & Mirrors Whiskey Cask Aged Imperial Porter which is a collaboration between @brehon_brewhouse and @twostackswhiskey earlier than planned.

Old Age
I seem to be caught in a plethora of medical appointments at the moment. Apart from the ongoing saga of my stomach and the recent dental work which requires follow-up, I had made an appointment with my usual dentist for an annual check-up in July. However, I have been experiencing palpitations during the night, so an ECG was called for and now a follow-up with the GP to discuss what they have found. I also have an upcoming appointment with my consultant gastroenterologist in a couple of weeks. It seems my diary is full of appointments. Getting old sucks. I've not been firing on all cylinders and have suspended my gym membership for the month of July to have a bit of a restful few weeks. I hope to be back to my normal self by August. I had to laugh the other day. I was doing a shift on the till at the foodbank charity shop and was chatting to the Assistant Manageress. She told me her cat is 16 and has dementia. She said it wanders round in the night miaowing, presumably beca

MenoDodicIGP: Vigneti Vallorani – Marche Rosato IGT BIO “Octavum” 2025
Il rosato è forse il vino più vittima dei pregiudizi: troppo leggero per chi cerca profondità, troppo serio per chi lo immagina solo da aperitivo. Eppure, bottiglie come Octavum dimostrano quanto questa categoria sappia raccontare territorio e identità. Nato nel Piceno dall'incontro tra Sangiovese e Montepulciano, è un vino spontaneo, fresco e dinamico, accompagna la tavola con naturalezza e invita alla condivisione. È uno di quei rosati che finiscono troppo in fretta nel bicchiere, ricordandoci che il buon bere quotidiano può regalare emozioni autentiche senza pesare sul portafoglio.

L’alleanza con la terra di Flavia e Francesco: la Vernaccia di San Gimignano secondo Cappellasantandrea
Il viaggio verso San Gimignano porta con sé l’immagine di torri che sfidano il cielo, ma la vera verticalità di questa terra si scopre abbassando lo sguardo verso le radici delle sue viti. Chi viaggia con l’animo teso a cogliere l’essenza profonda dei luoghi sa che la viticoltura non è un’industria, né una mera sommatoria […] L'articolo L’alleanza con la terra di Flavia e Francesco: la Vernaccia di San Gimignano secondo Cappellasantandrea proviene da La Stanza del vino .

A Tour of Wine Grapes: Nebbiolo
Nebbiolo 🍷 Photo by Hanna on Wikimedia Commons Nebbiolo ( neb-ee-oh-low ) is one of Italy’s top red wine grapes, most famous for its role in the Piedmont ( pyeh-MON-teh ) region. Nebbiolo is ancient royalty. The first written record of the grape dates all the way back to 1268 in a document from the Rivoli region of Piedmont. It has been beloved by Italian nobility, popes, and kings for over 700 years. The name Nebbiolo comes from "nebbia," the Italian word for fog. This may come from the late October harvest, when it is typical for a thick fog to roll through the valleys and blanket the Piedmont hillsides. Or, just as likely, it refers to the fact that the grapes develop a milky, fog-like white powder (called bloom) over their dark skins as they mature. While Nebbiolo is the grape, you’ll also see wines produced from this grape labeled as “Barolo” and “Barbaresco.” These are specific Italian regions that are legally required to use 100% Nebbiolo grapes. In the glass, wines made from N
