On Brewing Competitions, Competitors, Rules and Ethics
We need an honest and direct discussion about brewing competition. Of course, being a homebrewer, I am mainly focused on amateur beer, mead, cider, and wine competitions, which often also have a commercial or professional track. Here in 2024, competition stakes are very high, and success is critical

Deep Dive into Tuning Spoon with Brian Summers
## Good food and drink connect. Good food and drink have the power to connect people in a way that transcends language, culture, and background. This is a theme that is explored in the podcast episode featuring Brian Summers of Tuning Spoon. Brian, a native Angeleno with a background in music and hospitality, has built his career around the idea that good food and drink are the greatest conduit to human connection. From a young age, Brian was influenced by his mother's love for food and the way she approached cooking with mindfulness and care. This early exposure to the importance of food as a means of bringing people together shaped Brian's career path and led him to pursue a career in the hospitality industry. Through his work at some of LA's best craft cocktail bars and with spirit brands, Brian has honed his skills in creating brand experiences that resonate with audiences on a personal level. The concept of "good food and drink connect" is not just a tagline for Bria

The Rich History of Whiskey in Washington State
## Whiskey journey in the Pacific Northwest. The whiskey journey in the Pacific Northwest is a fascinating tale of innovation, passion, and dedication to craft. From the early days of distilling in Washington state to the award-winning craft distilleries of today, the region has a rich history of whiskey production that continues to evolve and thrive. One of the most interesting things I learned while researching for my book, "Distilled in Washington," was the unique approach that distilleries in the Pacific Northwest take to their craft. From beer-informed whiskey at Copperworks to the unique barley and oat programs at Westland, each distillery has its own story to tell. I was particularly struck by the fact that whiskey became the dominant spirit that "won the West" in the Pacific Northwest. From its humble beginnings as a rough and harsh drink of necessity, whiskey has evolved into an award-winning craft that is celebrated and enjoyed by connoisseurs around the world.

Artuke Finca de los Locos, 2021
Blend of Tempranillo, Graciano, Viura grapes - I asked for an unusual Rioja with a lighter touch. An interesting chat about Graciano ensued. It is being used more widely in Rioja adding perfume and a higher acid freshness. Evident in the primary floral note aromas. Interesting to have the familiar tannic structure restrained and balanced by acidity. Viura, the white grape widely planted in Rioja (Macabeo in France), also adds to the floral character. Viura also has decent aging potential so with these two grape varieties blended with more familiar Tempranillo, this is an unusual treat from Rioja. Bottle weight 582.5g - A decent effort for sustainability. UK price ~£30

IWD: In Praise of Maria the Jewess
Maria the Jewess and the invention of distillation Without the invention of the still, I wouldn’t have a job. The general historical consensus is that the first person known to have distilled alcohol was the great Arab alchemist Jābir Ibn Hayyan (c.AD 721-815). His part in the eventual invention of Gin is unsurprisingly the least of the accolades and perhaps on International Men’s Day, I’ll go into that further. Behind every great man is a great woman, but in the case of Jābir, there was a great woman about 700 years before him. Maria the Jewess. Maria lived in the Egyptian city of Alexandria and is considered one of the first people that wrote about alchemy. What is alchemy? Alchemy isn’t the crackpot pursuit of turning lead into gold. Well, at least it’s not only that. Alchemy was a mixture of science, pseudo-science and philosophy and was the progenitor to chemistry and modern medicine. Western alchemy, the one we know the most about, was defined by its dogged pursuit of three

Boozy Books - World Book Day Special
World Book Day is upon us. In the UK, we celebrate this by either sending our children to school dressed as characters that might have a connection to literature or by pontificating about how tenuous that connection is. Essentially we get to engage in competitive parenting and snobbery, which people seem to enjoy. It hasn’t got much to do with reading. Anyway, it’s inspired me to recommend some books on drinking. Best Book about the History of Gin Gin Glorious Gin by Olivia Williams There are lots of books about Gin. Most are feeble efforts designed as Christmas presents for the gin drinker in your life, cheerfully received but destined to be taken, unread, to the charity shop, but there are a few that are worth reading. History scholar and gin fan Olivia Williams manages to condense gin’s history into 300 pages but includes enough detail for it to come across as thorough and well researched, and Williams has a writing style that is accessible and witty. It’s anything but (Londo

Vintage: Old-is-New-Again Vineyard Practices
We’re talking about vintage as it pertains to something classic and enduring from the past, like the days of pre-industrial agriculture. In these fast-paced times, where technology is transforming the wine world, from augmented reality labels to AI-crafted wine blends, some things do remain – thank goodness. Contemporary innovations are paving the path, but the wine industry’s future is also grounded in the soil with vineyard practices based on age-old holistic farming techniques.
