Sitting squarely in the spotlight when it comes to spirits , Mexico is often an afterthought when it comes to coffee—overshadowed (and outsold) by its Central and South American neighbors. The establishment of a national coffee institute (INMECAFE) in the 1970s to support farmers both technically and financially led to an industry boom. But its dissolution less than 20 years later left producers scrambling.

A quick news update. Shortly after sending Monday’s email, I learned two things: Viking Artisan Ales announced last week that they’d be closing. And on Monday, Howard Street Brewing announced that they’d be closing. Howard Street does say that “[t]his is not goodbye, as there are some things in the works.” That “thing” might be a new brewpub location that can offer food plus a full bar, as indicated in this Block Club story on the closure.

When holiday party season rolls around, nothing makes a better low-lift, crowd-pleasing beverage than a big ol’ bowl of booze. Some reading this might already be seasoned punch professionals with a few yuletide recipes under their belts, while it may be others’ first time on party punch duty. Either way, it’s easy to do a big-batch beverage a disservice by messing up its ratios: Too many sweet ingredients and you’ve got fruit punch on your hands; too much booze and the party will escalate far qu

Until a couple of decades ago, Languedoc was known more for quantity than quality. The vast area in the south of France — often combined with neighboring Roussillon to the west as Languedoc-Roussillon — is not only the country’s largest wine region, but the biggest in the world with about 700,000 acres under vine. Within Languedoc-Roussillon there are dozens of appellations as well as broader IGP (Protected Geographical Indication) wines and others simply labeled Vin de France.

The story of non-alcoholic (NA) beer in America actually begins with Prohibition. While some breweries repurposed their refrigeration units and pivoted into the dairy business, many others turned to “near beer” — brews containing 0.5 percent alcohol or less — to stay afloat. Near beer was anything but spectacular, and put a bad taste (pun intended) in American drinkers’ mouths.
