Certified: A Biodynamic Deep Dive with Evrett Lunquist
The foundations for Biodynamic farming combine intentionality with the concept of your farm as a unique integrated organism. That includes the farmers. A guiding principle is to bring as few inputs as possible that are not produced on your farm. That’s our goal. In January, the Troon Vineyard team spent two days planning—only planning. The entire farm team focused on being better farmers and stewards of our land. Last Friday, the team took time to review progress. In our hands during all these planning sessions were our Biodynamic calendars. Our planning was focused on both making and applying the Biodynamic preparations. Informed by our calendars, we made our plans. I have practiced Biodynamic farming since 2018 and aspired to it for years before that. Few types of agriculture are more misunderstood, and, to a large extent, that's the fault of the Biodynamic community. Community is not the right word, as Biodynamic practitioners are a diverse group ranging from full-on spiritual anthr

Dogfish Head 30 Minute Light IPA Review
While we love big, bold IPAs and other high gravity beers, let’s face it, they’re very filling and not exactly low in calories. While we’ve always maintained that we’d rather have a couple really good beers vs. a bunch of watered down swill, there are those times when […]

Whiskey Review: Hirsch The Departure American Single Malt
Introduction We’re excited to dive into a whiskey that marks a bold new chapter for Hirsch: The Departure American Single Malt Whiskey . This is Hirsch’s first single malt, coming from the well-known Hotaling & Company out of San Francisco. If you’re familiar with the American craft whiskey scene, you might know them for their Old Potrero line, especially their rye whiskeys. But today, we’re stepping into new territory with them. Hirsch began working on The Departure back in 2015, eager to explore barley. The result is a non-age-stated, 100% malted barley whiskey , double distilled in copper pot stills, and aged for six years and nine months in 24-month air-dried, 53-gallon American oak barrels—both new char #3 and toasted barrels. It clocks in at 98 proof , making it a serious contender in the fast-growing American single malt category. This review is taken from our episode " 1917 (2019) / Hirsch the Departure American Single Malt ." Click the link to

Brew Day: North Shore Brewers 2025 Q2 Kellerbier
For Big Brew Day 2025 I did something a little different, went on Facebook Live during my brew day. I wanted to see what kind of engagement it would get and to see if it helped the page get any visibility. Video is not my strength, and I do not have the patience for video editing. Since Meta started deleting Facebook Live videos after 30 days, I uploaded the video to YouTube which made it easy to embed here. I shoot from the hip here talking about the recipe and process for this beer, and my system in general.

The Smell of Yeast at Timothy Taylor’s Brewery
Have you ever experienced something felt so deep within your bones you consider it to be life-changing? On Thursday night I attended a performance of Hamlet at Aviva Studios in Manchester, which featured orchestration by Radiohead's Thom Yorke using music from the band’s 2003 album Hail to the Thief . Honestly? I feel changed by it. Such was the intensity and physicality of the performance as a whole that I can’t stop thinking about it. Samuel Blenkin, playing the titular role, was gripping. The way music and dance was weaved throughout meant I couldn’t look away for the whole 90 minutes. It was dark and visceral and unrelenting and sad and funny. Of course, I had to go for a pint and sit down afterwards, to help myself come down. But as I did so I realised in witnessing such a brilliant act of creativity my very soul itself felt nourished. I was full to the brim. There are moments in life, sometimes major, sometimes fleeting, but they leave a permanent mark on you. My first sip of IPA

The Best Margaritas in LA for Cinco
If you're in Los Angeles and looking for the best margaritas this Cinco, we’ve done the legwork for you. We hit the bars, asked the right questions, tasted countless cocktails, and tracked down the real deals — strong, balanced, made with care. No gimmicks. No shortcuts. Just great margaritas made with fresh ingredients and Tromba — an additive-free tequila bartenders actually trust to do the heavy lifting. Wabi on Rose - Venice Wabi on Rose is a sushi spot that nails both sides of the experience — strong drinks and a setting that actually makes you want to stick around. Tucked behind a leafy patio in Venice, it’s the kind of place that feels like a secret even when it’s packed. Grab a table outside if you can. Order the Spicy Marg and pretend you’re not already thinking about a second round. What to order: Spicy Margarita – Tromba Tequila Blanco, fresh lime juice, a hit of agave syrup, slices of serrano pepper, and just the smallest splash of sriracha. Salt the rim if you're fe
