Drinking

This is a big one, gang.  NEXT Thursday, May 28th at 7pm, I’ll be chatting and webcamming LIVE from Beleza in midtown Atlanta to make drinks with Oval vodka.  My big beardy head will be there, along with Samantha Harrigan from Cocktail Culture, as well as some local press folks and even an appearance by […]

The day is finally here, you guys. Starting around 7pm Eastern we’ll be chatting and videocamming LIVE from Beleza while having some drinks mixed for us using Oval vodka.  You can join us by heading to the chat here and the video should be broadcasting from here.  I’m not entirely certain on the video, if

We’ve done this once before, but it’s worth doing it again. Some of the ways people find our site are hilarious and/or frightening.  Either way, it’s always fun looking through the logs and selecting a few gems to share with you.   wild turkey pitchers – Again, I am shocked and amazed that somewhere out

Tonight’s Thursday Drink Night is a big one.  Beefeater 24 is the spirit to be reckoned with this time, and a whole slew of the cocktail community’s best and brightest will be on hand to mix it up.  Besides the regular group of TDN miscreants and naer-do-wells, none other than David Wondrich, Greg Boehm, and

Last night a very generous friend invited me over to try out some of the brews available from Furthermore Beer, a Wisconsin-based brewery.  This was a treat, as it’s really only available in Wisconsin and Minnesota, giving these smuggled brews that extra air of rare mystery.  So we sat down with our illicit bounty and
