12/25/25: Sun King Brewery's Electric Reindeer (A Timely Christmas Post)
Ho ho ho! I hope your day's been great and that Santa was good to you. We're winding down after our seasonal festivities. The kids are playing with their new toys and, when I have time for them, there are a few video games calling my name. Before then, though, let's have some beer. After my December went completely sideways, I found I only had time for one Christmas beer post. That's what we're up to this evening: Sun King's Electric Reindeer. Sun King's headquartered in Indianapolis, IN. Though it officially began production in 2009 (after acquiring some gently-used brewing equipment from a defunct Maine brewery), coconspirators Dave Colt and Clay Robinson had long dreamed of heading out and brewing on their own. Since the brewery's opening, Sun King's taken home numerous medals from brewing competitions. You can find their beer in a handful of states. Read more about them over on "The Sun King Story" page . Electric Reindeer isn't just a Christmas beer, it's a beer that celebrates an

Happy Christmas
Sick of bland food over the last four weeks, I decided to do an experiment. As Kay, Darcy and I had been invited over to Darcy's parents in deepest Kent for Christmas, and they tend to cook vegetarian, we decided to have our traditional Christmas lunch a few days ago on Monday. I cooked the traditional meal only swapping turkey for chicken, as I did not want a lot of leftovers. I literally helped myself to a teaspoon of everything - chicken, carrots, parsnips, potato and one pig in its blanket - with lashings of gravy to convert it into a mush. The whole meal hardly covered a quarter of my dinner plate. I passed on the red cabbage and sprouts as I thought that was a step too far for an unhappy stomach. I then had a teaspoon of Christmas pudding with a little cream. If anything was going to upset me, THAT would. Thankfully and instinctively, I knew now was a right time to experiment and to my delight my stomach took the new food well and did not react, although admittedly I had dosed my

A Better Way to Drink: An Evening with Holistic Spirits at Wally’s Beverly Hills
There are liquor events that feel like trade shows—logo overload, forced smiles, and cocktails with all the charm of an open bar at a low-budget wedding. And then there are nights like this one: relaxed, thoughtful, and quietly confident, where the spirits speak for themselves and nobody’s trying too hard. That was the energy at Wally's Beverly Hills for the Holistic Spirits cocktail pop-up—an intimate evening built around good drinks, good conversation, and a simple question: what if drinking better didn’t mean giving anything up? It’s the same question that sparked the brand in the first place. “We never intended to start a spirits company, but we couldn’t stop thinking about why no one was making alcohol that aligned with wellness values,” says Amy Holmwood, Founder and CEO. The Brand: Clean, Thoughtful, No Preaching Holistic Spirits doesn’t position itself as a rebellion against alcohol—or a lecture about wellness. It’s more of an invitation. Their philosophy is straightforw

Bankhead closing brewpub in Fort Worth
Image credit: Bankhead Brewing Co. Bankhead Brewing Co. has announced the pending closure of its location in Fort Worth. The company's Fort Worth space opened in August 2021, being the second of three brewpubs under the Bankhead banner. It followed the original in Rowlett, which debuted in 2016, while a third spot opened in Farmers Branch in 2023. As for the fate of the Fort Worth site, the property was purchased and will be redeveloped by another entity. From a social media post: "It's time for a new chapter for Bankhead! Earlier this year, we received an exceptional offer for our Fort Worth property, one that made perfect sense for our long-term plans. We accepted it, and something even bigger is coming into that space soon. But this isn’t a goodbye story - it’s a growth story. We’re already exploring new locations and are excited for what’s ahead in 2026 and beyond. To our incredible guests and employees: thank you for the love, the memories, and the loyalty.

Bon Somm Global Wine & Cheese Boutique
Kristine Miller of Bon Somm Global Wine & Cheese Boutique For this 200th milestone episode , I would like to thank all my guests over the past nearly 11 years. Your stories full of guts, passion, vision and determination have been truly inspirational. I would also like to thank my sponsors: Ellensburg Community Radio, Blind Renaissance, Ellensburg Travel, Northwest Portal, Canyon River Ranch, Walter Clore Wine & Culinary Center, and Inn at Horse Heaven. Without your support, Lines on Wines would not be possible. When Kristine Miller was studying Organizational Leadership and Political Science at Central Washington University in the early 2000s, she never imagined a career in wine and hospitality. It was a junior-year internship at Disney and a particular bottle of white wine that ultimately changed her career trajectory. The internship involved her working in a premier restaurant with an award-winning wine list. She became so obsessed with wine and hospitality that, a
