Revolution Brewing revealed on Saturday morning that they would be permanently shuttering their Logan Square brewpub on Dec. 15th. As I mentioned in our Instagram Stories immediately following the news, a major announcement like this dropping on Saturday morning is definitely not the normal time for something like this. Considering this Reddit post with info about the closure popped up late on Friday night, I’m guessing that probably sped up the timeline a bit, as Revolution is excellent a

The navigator had guessed correctly that the climate of the islands would be suitable not just for sugar but for any number of foods and spices traded at high cost on the ancient silk routes into Europe

As Utah’s capital and most populous city, Salt Lake City is by no means a small market. But the evolution of the local drinks scene over the last dozen years or so can be seen as both a microcosm of industry trends as well as a wholly distinct landscape. This is due in large part to a young population eager to rise within the industry, and the state’s notoriously strict liquor laws.

When you have a glass of Champagne in your hand, there’s not much that can ruin the moment. All that matters is that you’re drinking perhaps the biggest producer of vibes the wine world has to offer. It’s a mood built on reputation: If you’re celebrating a joyful occasion, there’s more than a decent chance that a Champagne toast is involved. Those good vibes, though, can end up costing a pretty penny if your bubbles come from a prestigious house in the French region.

The Boston cocktail scene has suffered some serious blows over the past few years. Brother Cleve, the musician, DJ, and mixologist who was regarded as the godfather of the Boston cocktail revival, died suddenly in September 2022. In January of this year, Drink, a pioneering local bar, shuttered for good.

Nobody’s quite sure why Pedro Ximénez grapes, or the fortified wine made from them, bear a name more apt for a human. (Several largely debunked theories involve the grape being brought to Spain by either a soldier named Pedro Ximen or a Catholic cardinal named Ximénez, or that the grape was possibly named for the Spanish village of Jiménez.) But one thing is absolutely true about the Pedro Ximénez style of sherry (typically shortened to PX): The wine anchors the dark, indulgent end of the sherry

The phrase “cheap bourbon” doesn’t quite mean what it used to. Before the category’s 21st-century boom — and probably during the first few years of the boom itself — it was a put-down that always connoted a lack of quality. But today, this is no longer the case. There are some absolute bangers that typically retail for $30 and under, and when there are bourbons out there going for thousands of dollars, “cheap” is relative, anyway.
