12/24/24: HighGrain Brewing's Pho King Christmas Ale
We've nearly made it! My presents are wrapped and, as soon as my kid goes to sleep, they'll be placed beneath the tree. Santa's bringing someone an orange monster truck, fulfilling a Christmas wish. The season's been hectic because, well, it always is. I'm taking a quick break before diving back into work (those cookies and milk won't consume themselves!). This evening's beer was in the advent calendar Michelle put together for me: HighGrain's Pho King Christmas Ale. Does it taste like pho? Let's see! HighGrain, based in a converted municipal building in Silverton, OH (just up the road from where I lived in Cincinnati), is a brewery devoted to sustainability (they also have a second brewing location out in the Brentwood area of Finneytown, OH). They use renewable electric at the brewery, have EV charging stations, a native plant garden, and more. You can hit up their "Our Story" page for further info on who they are and what they do. Pho King has a little spot on the brewery's Silverto

Whiskey Review: Penelope Valencia Bourbon
At Film & Whiskey , we’re diving into Penelope Valencia , the annual release from Penelope Bourbon. This four-grain straight bourbon whiskey, finished in Vino de Naranja casks from Seville, Spain, is bottled at 95 proof and offers a unique profile perfect for the winter season—or even a refreshing summer cocktail. With only 5,000 cases produced, this limited allocation whiskey has a lot to live up to. Let’s explore how it fares. This review is taken from our episode " Cruisemas, Vol. 3 - Mission: Impossible - Fallout / Penelope Valencia Bourbon ." Click the link to listen to this review in audio format. Nose Brad : The nose on this is an orange bomb. There’s orange peel, but I also picked up a really intense peaches-and-cream note that I loved. There’s a bit of rose petal and some cedar woodiness. It’s pleasant, though not quite everything I want it to be. 7.5/10 . Bob : I let this sit in my glass for a while, and it went through so many changes.

12/21/24: Masthead Brewing Company's Robot Santa's Christmas Ale
It's the Winter Solstice! Okay, so it was at four o'clock this morning but who cares? After this, the nights will begin growing shorter and the days longer. Tonight's a night for keeping indoors, reading and listening to music, and staying warm and comfortable against the long dark without your home. A beer certainly wouldn't go amiss. Since it's still the holiday season, I have a Christmas ale slated for tonight: Masthead's Robot Santa's Christmas Ale (Robot Santa from here on out). How is it? Well, I've had it before so I know. This'll be a fun mystery for you! Masthead 's based in Cleveland, OH. They're located downtown in a building on the National Register of Historic Places. They're "...known for [their words] our ever evolving lineup of juicy New England IPAs, Neapolitan-style pizza, and our barrel aged beer utilizing exclusively allocated whiskey barrels from top-rated distilleries." Robot Santa's presence on the brewery's website is a link to Untappd, so we'll follow Masthead'

Whiskey Review: Barrell Bourbon Cask Finish Series Ice Wine and Batch 036 Bourbon
At Film & Whiskey, we’ve always appreciated Barrell Craft Spirits for their innovative approach to blending and finishing. Today, we’re diving into two of their latest releases: Barrell Bourbon Cask Finish Series Ice Wine and Barrell Bourbon Batch #36 . Both bring something unique to the table, showcasing Barrell’s creativity and craftsmanship. Let’s get into it. Barrell Bourbon Cask Finish Series Ice Wine Introduction The Barrell Bourbon Cask Finish Series Ice Wine is a blend of straight bourbon whiskeys aged five years and finished in ice wine casks. Bottled at 106 proof, this is the first edition of their Ice Wine series. Ice wine, as defined by Breaking Bourbon, is a dessert wine made from grapes that are frozen while still on the vine. The result is a whiskey that promises sweetness with complexity. Nose Brad: "The nose is cherry, honeyed almonds, earthy, melon-forward—just a mix of really beautiful, light, fruity notes and this earthiness that I

Movie Review: A Complete Unknown (2024)
A Complete Unknown chronicles Bob Dylan's journey from his arrival in Greenwich Village to his infamous electric set at the Newport Folk Festival in 1965. Directed by James Mangold and based on Jay Cocks’ screenplay adapted from Dylan Goes Electric, the film’s title suggests a focus on Dylan’s rise to relevance in the burgeoning folk scene, but the second half pivots to the drama surrounding his musical transformation and disastrous set at the 1965 Newport Music Festival. Unfortunately, it results in a movie frustratingly at odds with itself over which of two stories it wants to tell. Its rather inelegant solution is to tell both and hope for the best. The film divides itself neatly into two parts, with a fade-out marking a jump forward of about six months. In that time, Dylan transitions from relative obscurity to international superstardom. The first half is essentially a sweet coming-of-age tale, immersing the viewer in Dylan’s early days in Greenwich V

The Cocktail College Podcast: Eggnog
We like to keep things fairly evergreen here at “Cocktail College.” However, it would feel a bit out of place to run an episode on eggnog at the height of summer when sweat is dripping down our backs and we’re all craving a refreshing seasonal sipper. So here we are, less than a week out from Dec. 25, with the ultimate guide to this all-American staple. For this festive episode of “Cocktail College,” Tim McKirdy is joined by returning guest Aaron Goldfarb, author and VinePair writer at large.
