Sober Socializing for Parents in Recovery
Sober socializing can literally feel like a "buzz kill." It can be hard not to feel different or awkward at events where other parents, friends, and family are using socially.

2024 Vintage in Review
Just as we aim to farm in the service of nature, we seek to farm in the service of our community. In the spirit of reporting to our community “shareholders,” I offer this 2024 review. It’s lengthy, but there is much to report: a fantastic harvest, widespread recognition of our environmental approach, and the slow emergence of plans for our next chapter.

Zero-Proof January
Dry January has become an increasingly popular tradition, where many people take a month-long break from alcohol to focus on their health, reset their systems, or simply enjoy a fresh start. But just because you're skipping the booze doesn’t mean you have to miss out on the fun and flavor of your favorite beverages. This January, you can still enjoy great tasting drinks with zero-proof products that deliver all the flavor and refreshment—without the alcohol. Here’s a roundup of the best zero-proof products to sip on during Dry January. 1. Non-Alcoholic Spirits Non-alcoholic spirits have revolutionized the drinking experience for those who choose to abstain from alcohol but still crave sophisticated, flavorful options. These products mimic the complex flavor profiles of alcoholic spirits, making them perfect for crafting mocktails that rival their boozy counterparts. Seedlip As a pioneer in the non-alcoholic spirits category, Seedlip offers a selection of herbal-based spirits that creat

F/W 24′ Feature: A Tiny Colorado Wine Report
In Sauvage Spectrum, Blue Beryl, and Ordinary Fellow there are strong examples of young wine professionals experimenting with a wide range of grapes and styles in Colorado. And, in Hermosa there is an example of how an accumulation of experience can pay off. While a small sample, it’s not bad as microcosm if it’s an accurate one at scale.

No Strava, No Problem
Two years ago, after encouragement from my partner, I joined a running club. As a freelancer, and someone who spends most of my time alone, getting to run with a few others and make friends was a lot of fun. But sometime in the early summer last year, I stopped going because I wasn’t enjoying it any longer. I was finding it harder and harder to identify with the other runners, which made it difficult to make friends. I realised I had also started to spend every club meet masking, which exhausted me before I’d even ran five yards. Things came to a head when, when socialising with a few members, conversation turned to what races we were all entering. When I said I wasn’t planning on entering any, and might never do so again, instead of accepting my decision, I found myself suddenly placed under peer pressure, constantly being egged on to sign up for a race. This didn’t go on for five or ten minutes, it happened repeatedly, until closing time, and I found the very nature of the incident l

Pour Some Wine with your Dessert

A Really Good Year
2024 has been my most successful and my most prolific year as a freelancer. In fact it’s the most I’ve earned since 2018, when I was still on the editorial staff at Good Beer Hunting . Coincidentally, I’ve also turned in more work this year than in those previous—96 commissions and counting, beating my previous best of 83. Don’t get me wrong it’s not big money, but I’ve worked hard for that extra cheddar this year. More importantly than anything it's a living I cherish. I’ve also broken what I consider to be the awards hoodoo that caused me so much unnecessary stress in the past. My book, Manchester’s Best Beer Pubs and Bars picked up three awards—two silvers from the British Guild of Beer Writers and a gold from the North American Guild of Beer writers. I also picked up a further three nominations for my feature writing, and Pellicle , the crown jewel in my professional life, attained several more. Most significantly among these was a nomination for magazine of the year from the Briti

12/31/24: Tales from the Cellar NYE Edition--Braxton Brewing Company's Dark Charge CInnamon Roll (2020)
Dry January begins tomorrow, so this beer is my last hurrah for a month. Given that, I thought I'd break out something special. Yesterday, I ventured deep into my cellar to see what I could find. Now, let's explore this aged stout together. I'm saying my goodbyes to 2024 with Braxton's Dark Charge Cinnamon Roll. This came as the second of three bottles in the Dark Charge Breakfast Box (I have the other two stashed away for who knows when). My bottle is number 49/1000. Grab yourself a beer and let's bid farewell to this year together and in style. Braxton's headquartered in Covington, KY (that HQ is now one of five Braxton locations across the Greater Cincinnati region). Their "Our Story" page details their early history. It started with Evan Rouse, who began brewing in his parents' garage when he was just sixteen. Since then, he's doggedly pursued his dream and now what he started has spiraled into one of area's most prestigious breweries. Dark Charge Cinnamon Roll doesn't have a

Whiskey Review: Tullamore DEW Irish Whiskey
Introduction Today, we’re revisiting one of the most iconic names in Irish whiskey: Tullamore D.E.W. Bob kicks things off by clearing up the pronunciation debate. “It’s labeled as Tullamore D-E-W, with little periods in between each letter, but I’ve checked, and it’s pronounced ‘Dew.’ So, Tullamore Dew it is.” This triple-distilled blend combines malt, grain, and pot still whiskey—the three major categories of Irish whiskey. It’s non-age-stated, so we know it’s at least three years old, and it’s proofed down to 80 proof. Brad reflects on his early encounters with Tullamore. “This was recommended to me way back before we started the podcast. I remember liking Jameson, and someone suggested I try Tullamore Dew. It was a couple bucks cheaper at the time, and I’ve been a fan since.” This bottle has always gone head-to-head with Jameson in both price and quality, and today we’ll see if it still h

Whisky Review: Glenmorangie Nectar D'Or Single Malt Scotch
Introduction Today, we’re diving into Glenmorangie Nectar D’Or, a single malt Scotch whisky that has become a touchstone for us over the years. The Nectar D’Or has gone through a few transformations since we first tried it. Back then, it was a 12-year-old expression finished in Sauternes casks, part of a sampler pack that also included the Glenmorangie Original, Lasanta, and Quinta Ruban. When our hosts first tried the sampler pack , it was an incredible deal, offering four 100 ml bottles for $25. We remember liking the Quinta Ruban and Lasanta more than the Nectar D’Or, which felt overpriced compared to its siblings. Now, this 12-year-old version has been replaced by a 16-year-old expression finished in multiple casks. But today, we’re revisiting the original 12-year-old to see if our impressions hold up. Nose Brad: This is one of the best noses we’ve encountered in a while. I’m picking up toasted candied almonds, tons of honey—almost ho

Whiskey Review: Noah's Mill Bourbon
Noah’s Mill is a bourbon produced by Kentucky Bourbon Distillers, Ltd. (KBD), better known as Willett Distilling Company or simply “Willett.” Established in 1935, Willett has a storied history that includes a shift to ethanol production in the 1970s and a complete halt in distilling by the 1980s. The company resumed distilling spirits in 2012, and since then, its own distillate has slowly replaced sourced whiskey in their various products. Noah’s Mill was first introduced in the mid-1990s with a 15-year age statement, later removed in the early 2000s. For much of its history, Noah’s Mill was a sourced product, with whiskey likely originating from a number of distilleries. However, as Willett’s distillate reached sufficient age, the company transitioned Noah’s Mill to include their own whiskey starting with batches from 2022–2023. The review you’re reading today was recorded in 2021 and features the older, sourced version of Noah&rsq

Whiskey Review: Bushmills 30-Year Single Malt Irish Whiskey
Introduction Today, we’re diving into Bushmills 30-Year Single Malt Irish Whiskey. This rare expression from Bushmills is aged for 14 years in a mix of bourbon barrels and sherry butts, then finished for an additional 16 years in first-fill Pedro Ximénez (PX) sherry casks. It’s bottled at 46% ABV, and this is easily the darkest Irish whiskey we’ve ever seen. Let’s break it down. Nose A rich blend of almond, dried cherry, and syrupy sweetness, setting the stage for a luxurious whiskey. Brad: This is a beautiful nose, Bob. There’s a nice almond note that runs throughout, along with dried cherry, sweet grape from the PX casks, and even a touch of melon. It all sits on a foundation of barley. I think this is an incredible nose— 9/10 . Bob: I’m with you, Brad. This has a really deep, rich decadence that you don’t typically get with Irish whiskey. It reminded me of when we reviewed Amrut Fusion a few years ago—there’s a simil

12/29/24: Tröegs Independent Brewing's The Mad Elf Grand Cru, a Late Christmas Post
It's Christmas! Okay, it's after Christmas. My week didn't go quite as planned but that's fine. I spent more time with my family, which means I had more fun than I'd anticipated. How was your Christmas? Did Santa bring you what you wanted? Or, was your stocking filled with coal and fish heads? I'm here at home now after a whirlwind near-week away. My tree's lit and I'm bundled up and snuggled under a blanket. Today's beer marks the end of the holiday season for me. So, with a grateful prayer and a thankful heart let's to it: Tröegs' The Mad Elf Grand Cru. Tröegs is the creation of brothers John and Chris Trogner. They both found a love of brewing in Colorado and brought it home to Central Pennsylvania with them. They opened their brewery in 1997 and have been brewing (and expanding) since. Here's their "Our Story" page if you want all of the details I skipped over here (there're plenty of them!). The Mad Elf Grand Cru is a souped up version of The Mad Elf . This 11% ABV bruiser of an a
