Demonology, the occult, and “otherized gods from other cultures.

Brew//LDN: 25th – 27th April 2024, Southbank, London SE1 Despite having an edgy, modern name that was obviously created by a branding agency to say ‘this isn’t the Great British Beer Festival, no socks and sandals here’, Brew//LDN sounds like quite a good craic. The festival has been around for a while, but this year the organisers have added some dedicated trade sessions, which is nice, and these sessions are free, which is even nicer.

If you’ve ever wandered into an old-school pub, you may have encountered sawdust strewn haphazardly across the joint’s wooden floors. Some might see it as a cool detail, and others as an old-timey gimmick or puzzling eyesore. But what looks like the aftermath of a mid-shift carpentry project is, in fact, an old tradition born out of necessity and kept alive for nostalgia’s sake.

If you like big, dense red wines, Syrahs from the West Coast should be on your radar. In contrast to the East Coast Syrahs I covered in my last column , the West Coast wines — many of them from California’s Santa Barbara County and Washington State — tend to be quite a bit higher in alcohol and more tannic, making them natural pairings for grilled and roasted red meats, pork, and other hearty foods.

Tequila has been an industry darling in recent time. Double-digit growth in this category has helped lead the overall spirits market higher for years now. How much longer can the boom times continue for agave spirits? One possible answer: Look at whiskey. This other trendy category exploded in popularity years before tequila’s rapid rise.
