Quando il Nepente vuole diventare il Cannonau per i giovani
Un vino potente, strutturato e di grande carattere. Il Nepente di Oliena, Cannonau reso immortale dalla penna di Gabriele D’Annunzio, non vanta però importanti dimensioni produttive. La superficie vitata è di neanche 700 ettari, 680 per essere precisi. “Abbiamo rese molto basse, intorno ai 50–60 quintali per ettaro, e una produzione che non arriva al […]

Earth Day, One Refill at a Time: Why Growlers & Howlers Still Matter
Earth Day is a reminder that meaningful environmental change rarely comes from one big, dramatic action. More often, it’s built through the small, consistent choices we make every day. In the world of craft beer, one of the simplest (and honestly, most enjoyable) of those choices is opting for refillable growlers and howlers. Long before … Continued The post Earth Day, One Refill at a Time: Why Growlers & Howlers Still Matter appeared first on The BC Ale Trail .

What is dry hopping?
In this article, beer educator Natalya Watson explores one of the most talked-about techniques in modern brewing: dry hopping. From the science behind hop additions to the impact on aroma, flavour and appearance, this guide will deepen your understanding of how brewers shape some of today’s most expressive beer styles. Beer labels are full of buzz words... we recently published a blog post exploring the many different types of hop-driven styles from APA, to IPA, to NEIPA and beyond. But the acronyms don’t stop there! These beers can often have some additional letters on their labels, like DDH, which isn’t necessarily part of the style name, but indicates a particular production choice by the brewer. That choice? Dry hopping, or “double dry hopping” as the extra D suggests. What is dry hopping and how might it impact the finished beer? Let’s take a step back and talk about hops first. What are hops? Hops are tall climbing plants that produce cones as they grow. The cones of the hop plan

Bodega Severino Sanz, Ribera del Duero
While I’ve previously tasted the wines of Severino Sanz, it was ages ago and this new tasting formed a rediscovery of their wines for me and a greater appreciation for their work. For those who know this other side to Tempranillo in Spain, you’ll be very aware that it’s a very different take on the variety with wines that are much more dark fruited and denser in concentration. Additionally, they can often be very pricey in my opinion. This isn’t the case here with this selection of wines which I […] For full access, please log in or purchase a subscription .

Sweet and Spicy notes highlight Maker's Mark 2026 'The Stewards Release'
Since Maker's makes no bad whiskey, what's in the bottle is good sipping whiskey. Not a fault with it. But I prefer the two others in the Wood Finishing Series, The Keepers and The Heart, better.

Imported enjoyment
Villa Torlonia is a grand 19th century mansion in Rome, which latterly served as Mussolini's official residence and then as Allied High Command headquarters after the war. The Italian state subsequently redeveloped it, opening the grounds as a public park. The orangery is now a rather grand café with a terrace, and in recent years it has hosted an annual festival of Franconian beer -- FrankenBierFest -- organised by Roman beer institution, The Football Pub. It just so happened that the 2026 edition was taking place when I was in Rome with EBCU a couple of weeks ago. The programme lists 91 different beers, poured both from kegs and Bayerische Anstich wooden casks, though I reckon not more than half of these were on sale at the bars at any one time. Arriving when things were in full swing on the Saturday evening, I could tell this wasn't a gig for tasting samples: you're meant to drink . My drinking began with a half-litre of Ur-Kö , an economically-named beer from the economically
