The amount of 10th anniversary events emerging over the last few weeks have made me wonder: Was May-June 2014 the busiest time in Chicago craft beer history? I did some digging through my archives, but let’s start by looking at who’s celebrating their tenth birthday this month: Imperial Oak celebrates a full decade in business today through Sunday.

For pretty much the last two decades, the IPA has been the No. 1 craft beer style in America, if not the world. The most talked about, the most written about, the most complained about, the most purchased, the most riffed on. In that time, we’ve seen the beer industry go from malty English IPAs to dank West Coast options — teeth-chatteringly bitter double and then triple and even quadruple IPAs — to softer, fruitier, and hazier New England-style options.

What’s a trip to Wisconsin without cheese curds, or a weekend in Texas without BBQ? While these regional items are often replicated outside their native lands, they’re never quite duplicated. The same mantra applies to local beers.

It is thanks to the release of old and rare expressions that Macallan was able to enter the luxury whisky market. Today, bottles of Macallan sell from anywhere between $100 and $2.6 million, and the brand is now catering more to investors than it is to drinkers.

Among the biggest myths in beverage alcohol is that vodka is a flavorless, odorless spirit. As ever more producers seek to highlight the character of an increasing array of base ingredients — rice, grapes, and even agave — it’s become something of a cliché in spirits circles to repeat the fact that the TTB now recognizes vodka can exhibit character.

Baltimore-based Old Line Spirits produces both rye and American single malt, but it’s really their malt that takes center stage. A new addition is Old Line Navy Strength, a 114 proof riff on their core expression that “salutes the traditional strength cherished by both American and British navies.” Never mind that they drank rum. It’s worth nothing Old Line has also released cask strength offerings, often clocking somewhere north of 120 proof.
