Where the Hell Are All the Hop Waters?

VinePair

As a general editorial principle, I try to avoid telling America’s craft brewers what to do with their businesses. I make my bones writing about beer, not making it, and I make an effort to respect the very real boundaries between the two. That being said, brewers, I have a gentle suggestion to submit for your consideration. It’s a timely one, being as we’re about halfway through Dry January 2024, but it has year-round potential to bolster your bottom line and put your brand in front of new drin

Review: Brooklyn Brewery Black Ops (2023)

Drinkhacker

Brooklyn Brewery’s Black Ops is back again in pint-sized cans — again relying on Four Roses barrels to age its hearty Russian Imperial stout for nine months before release. I found the 2023 expression rather fruitier than prior editions, and quite a bit less fizzy. Brooding with notes of prunes and macerated figs, the beer is as rich and dark as ever — but immersed in a punishing amount of chocolate, dark caramel, and vanilla cream to give all the dark fruits even more of a des

VinePair

After ordering a bottle of wine, there are a few steps that unfold before you actually get to take your first sip. And though it can be fun to buy into the pomp and circumstance of traditional wine service, some things are more necessary for a proper experience while others are relics of the past that could be just fine to skip. For example, if the sommelier at a wine-focused establishment fails to show you a bottle before opening it, that’s a pretty big red flag.
