This Week's New Beer Labels: It's Finally Pumpkin Spice Time

Guys Drinking Beer - Beer News

While the Oktoberfest labels have been plentiful this year, I haven’t seen any standout pumpkin ale labels … until today. The New Illinois Beer Label of the Week: 93 Octane does a lot to pair beers with car styles or car-centric stuff (see also: their various oil-weight stouts like the 10W30 ) and you can’t tell me that a muscled-out clown car isn’t the perfect vehicle for something pumpkin spiced.

Batch, Bottle, and Freeze Your Negroni

Cocktails with Suderman

Negronis are incredibly easy to make. Just three ingredients! Three pours! Stir over ice, strain into a glass (over ice), then twist an orange peel over the top. Making one takes a minute, tops. But you can make them even easier, by batching, bottling, and chilling them in a freezer for a few hours before you want to serve them. This produces an extra-chilly Negroni, and it’s a good way to make a lot of high-quality versions of the drink quickly.

8 of the Best Red Wines From Italy’s Puglia

VinePair

It says something when a well-known TV series about Italian food, in an episode about Puglia, ignores the wines of the region in the heel of the boot of southern Italy. Pasta, bread, olives, fish, meats? All well represented. But the wines? Not a single word. As I watched, I thought how appropriate some of the Negroamaros , Primitivos , and Uva di Troias — Puglia’s leading red varieties — might be with many of the dishes seen in the episode.

Is This Glen Garioch Similar To The Regular Glen Garioch Bottles? A little, yes. You can definitely spot the classic Glen Garioch style in this single cask expression. But it has some lighter elements provided by the Oloroso sherry, which in itself in itself is a little unusual. Glen Garioch can be a very heavy and intense liquid, but it can also have some incredibly delicate elements to it, this is clearly the latter.
