Little by little
Looks like it's time for me to get my Little Thing out again. The latest in Sierra Nevada's seemingly endless variations on its signature hazy IPA is Citra Little Thing . As usual, the can is most uninformative, beyond the ABV of 7.5%, but the brewery website tells me it's not a single-hopper, the Citra joined by Simcoe. It's reasonably hazy, though not the full-on beaten-egg emulsion you get from the more extreme practitioners of the art. It smells reasonably juicy, though with more of a fruit candy vibe than actual juice: Skittles, Starburst, that kind of thing. For all the alcohol, the flavour is quite muted, I thought, and there's none of the hop vibrancy I had been expecting. You could argue that Citra is famously bitter so might disappear in an IPA designed to be sweet, but you'd be wrong. Plenty of breweries use Citra for this purpose to excellent effect. This seems like a big industrialised brewery low-balling the hops for budgetary reasons. For shame, SN! That said, it's not a

Seriously, Chenin Blanc may just be the MVP, VIP, and OG of all white wines.
Hear me out. I first became acquainted with Chenin Blanc when I was a wine rep flogging a portfolio that included Marc Brédif Vouvray. In a somewhat revealing admission, it did take me some time to appreciate that Vouvray was a place and not a random grape variety (How I ever got that job remains a mystery!) What I did know — quite emphatically as it turned out — was that it was absolutely the duck’s nuts and one wine I knew I could sell without trying. Showcased to my customers as the “Absolute White All Rounder” this was a white wine that could transcend seasonal demands and all wine scenarios… Dark days of Winter? Lightly cooled Marc Brédif Vouvray quaffed alongside a pork sausage cassoulet ought to warm the cockles. Bright, white heat of a Summer sunset? Chilled Marc Brédif Vouvray served alongside a prosciutto and melon salad will tantalise and refresh or scoff a gobby, freshly shucked oyster doused in some mouth-puckering vinaigrette and trust me — your Brédif will still fi

HEINEKEN® 0.0 UNVEILS FIRST ZERO ALCOHOL, ZERO CALORIE, AND ZERO SUGAR BREW
Over the past several years, the non-alcoholic beer space has grown from a niche curiosity into one of the most talked-about segments in the beer industry. Now, one of the biggest global brewing brands is pushing that movement even further. Heineken has announced the launch of Heineken 0.0 Ultimate , a new alcohol-free beer that takes the concept of NA brewing a step further. Not only does it contain zero alcohol, but it also delivers zero calories and zero sugar , all while aiming to maintain the flavor profile beer drinkers expect from the brand. From my perspective as someone who watches trends across the beer world closely, this release signals another big step in how major brewers are approaching the rapidly expanding non-alcoholic category. A Continued Push into the NA Beer Market Heineken has been heavily invested in alcohol-free beer since launching Heineken 0.0 in the United States in 2019. That beer helped introduce many drinkers to the idea that non-alcoholic beer could actu

New Study Finds Consumers Associate Whiskey, Tequila, and Wine With Distinct Moods
Consumers associate different types of alcohol with distinct buzzwords, according to a new study out of the University of Evansville in Indiana. Most respondents linked “party” to tequila; “sophisticated,” “chill,” and “intellectual” to wine; and “masculine” to whiskey. The findings confirm that the longstanding connections between alcohol types and mindsets are learned behavior, not feelings based on their physiological effects. “These findings show that alcohol can function as a ‘symbolic cue,’” writes Logan Pant, the study’s author and an assistant professor of marketing, in The Conversation.
