Every Major Spirit Category and Its Base Ingredient [Infographic]
Although cask aging, different types of stills, blending, and numerous other factors dictate the profile and quality of a finished spirit, the creation of any alcoholic beverage begins with fermentation. Some form of sugar in the base liquid is exposed to yeast, which converts those sugars into ethanol. Sugars are simple carbohydrates that can be found in everything from fruits and potatoes to various plants and cereal grains. And the type of base ingredients distillers use varies from spirit to spirit. The article Every Major Spirit Category and Its Base Ingredient [Infographic] appeared first on VinePair .

AI is a Crisis Point for Writers, Artists and Photographers
The original title for this post was “Your AI Can Art Looks Like Shit” and I will tell you, with absolute sincerity, that it really does. The same point was made by writers Jessica Boak and Ray Bailey in one of their recent newsletters , so it felt pertinent to give this topic a fresher angle. I’ll reiterate their point though: it really does look like shit. Your customers most probably think that too. What does it say about the beer you sell when you’ve demonstrated you’re willing to put next to zero effort into how it's presented? On reflection, I felt that it might be more productive to take a more pragmatic approach. Instead of wagging a finger, it’s better I offer an explanation, and potentially even a solution to the encroachment of generative AI (or to call it what it really is, scrapeware) within the creative sector. Put simply: it’s fucking us, hard. Every time you see a beer brand or hospitality business use a scrapeware generated image to advertise what they’re selling, that

The Session #145 — Critique not Criticism
For the March 2025 edition of The Session I’m asking participants to produce a piece of critical writing about beer or pubs. This could be a review of a beer you’ve enjoyed, or perhaps one you haven’t. A pub you’re fond of, or maybe one that has room for improvement. You could write about a beer experience (or lack of) in a setting such as a restaurant, or even produce a critique that focuses on a particular aspect of beer or pub culture. The aim is not to be judgemental, subjective or to showcase any particular bias; this is not some finger-wagging exercise. Whereas criticism involves building an argument about why you think something is simply good or bad, critique involves taking a more holistic approach, using carefully researched and considered analysis to build a reasoned, objective, and possibly even entertaining take that benefits readers by giving them good quality information to consider. Last year I wrote about how there is a general lack of criticism in beer writing , and c

Malbec grape and wines
Guide to the Malbec Grape & its wines Malbec, Argentinian Malbec in particular, is one of the most popular red wines in the UK. It was long considered one of the ‘beefiest’ red wines and became a staple house wine for many pubs and restaurants, initially increasing its popularity. That may however have come at a cost as public perception of the quality of Malbec seems to be in decline. This blogpost looks into the reasons for Malbec’s popularity, explores facts about the Malbec grape that account, in part, for the wine’s different aromas & flavours and for the different styles of Malbec wine. It also considers if quality has become an issue for ‘brand Malbec’ and covers which food is best consumed with Malbec. The Malbec grape Although the Malbec grape is the flagship grape of Argentina, it originated in the area of South West France around the city of Cahors, east of Bordeaux and north of Toulouse. It is also known in that area and in the Loire where a little is grown as Côt or Auxerr

The Session - Best at Home
This month's iteration of The Session is being hosted by Ray and Jess over at Boak and Bailey, and the theme they have presented us with is: "What's the best beer you can drink at home right now?" Until Mrs V and I decided to encumber the universe with children, the vast majority of our drinking was not done at home. We had several regular haunts to sit and have a pint or two; whether the original Three Notch'd Brewery tasting room, Beer Run, or even the bar at Whole Foods - seriously, at one point it was social central as we invariably ran into folks we knew and so another pint was had. We still do a fair amount of our drinking outside the home, often at Selvedge, Patch, or still Beer Run. Even though we used to drink mostly at taprooms or pubs, I always had a very well stocked cellar, often including lots of my own homebrew, but going out was the norm. Times however have been a'changing, and drinking at home has become almost the default for various reasons that I am not going to bot
