There’s no shortage of cheap beer out there, but 6-packs that hover below the $1 mark are practically unheard of. And while it may sound like an urban legend that one uncle likes to tell when he reminisces about his college days, it turns out such a beer did, in fact, exist. If you had a few extra shekels clinking around in your pocket back in the ’70s, you could pop into the local shop and buy a 6-pack of Red White & Blue Beer for 89 cents — yes, a whole 6-pack.

The belief that Champagne gets you drunk quicker is something of an old wives’ tale. It’s the kind of trick you “learn” one night in college and slam a bottle of Andre Brut, only to wake up with the worst hangover of your life. And while that’s likely the least scientific way to test the theory, the notion that booze with bubbles delivers its effects faster persists for a reason.

Something peculiar is going on in the restaurant industry: wine bottle prices are at an all-time high, even at establishments that many would consider casual, more affordable options. While we can’t pinpoint exactly why this is happening, we’re pretty sure it has something to do with financial institutions giving easy-access loans to new restaurants, in turn pressuring said restaurants to price hike in order to repay said loans.

If you have been in the wine business long enough to have opened hundreds of bottles, chances are you’ve encountered some that contain tartrate crystals, either as a visible sediment at the base of the bottle, or as a gritty lining on the bottom of the cork. The crystals are white or clear in whites and rosé, but usually look black in red wines. They can be as tiny as a grain of sand or as large as a grain of flaky sea salt.

Eventually, Guinness came along and asserted itself as the nitro stout of all nitro stouts in the U.S., but it wasn’t until the domestic craft boom of the ’90s that the style was truly adopted stateside. When Left Hand Brewing opened for business outside Denver in 1993, the plan wasn’t to become known nationwide as “the milk stout brewery” or “the nitro brewery,” and certain

We anticipated an environment where alcohol played a central role in all gatherings, and where non-alc options were few and far between.
