Premium Subscribers will get a few exclusive first looks at beers from Surly, Lakefront, Great Lakes and maybe Boulevard — you’ll understand the TBD on that shortly.

Alcohol and sailing have long gone hand in hand, with long weeks spent working at sea often demanding something to take the edge off. For that reason, the profession has historically been associated with heavy drinking — a narrative furthered by the once global practice of paying Naval officers for their service with alcohol rations in wartime when funds were scarce.

Some things just make sense together. Peanut butter and jelly, for example. Cereal and milk. Bonfires and cozy sweaters. And, for hundreds of years, Côtes du Rhône wines and Comté cheese. Each French region boasts a distinctive terroir that is directly reflected in the products it creates. Connected by the Rhône River, Comté and Côtes du Rhône share more than just a body of water — each heralds a similar set of values rooted in history, tradition, and love for the planet.

Chartreuse, one of the world’s most beloved and in-demand liqueurs , just found a second home in the heart of Paris. The brand’s new visitor center was inaugurated on Tuesday and is dedicated to the history of the Carthusian monks who invented the herbaceous liqueur and their long-time presence in the French city. Carthusian monks have had ties to Paris for over 500 years, and in the 1500s, their monastery maintained a close connection to the apothecaries in town.

If you haven’t noticed, there’s a growing trend toward leaner red wines that are less dominated by oak and high levels of alcohol. With that in mind, the red wines of Austria should be near the top of your list. While Austrian reds are lighter in character and mouthfeel than many of their European and American counterparts, they are far from lightweights in terms of complexity and depth.

Craft, or crafty? Following Anheuser-Busch InBev’s infamous acquisition of Goose Island Beer Company , the difference between fancy beer made by small breweries (craft) and somewhat fancy beers made by corporate macrobreweries (crafty) was a sure point of contention. Nonetheless, many craft beers have stood the test of time, due in no small part to the fact that they’re well-made beverages with lasting mass appeal.
