*BIG NEWS*
We’re thrilled to share that long-standing local hospitality group World Famous Dive Bars is acquiring Good Chemistry Brewing from later this month. You probably know their venues – they include Mothers’ Ruin, The Colosseum and the recently-re-opened Croft.

Even in countries that chose *not* to impose retaliatory tariffs on US spirits, our spirits exports have plummeted. Exports to UK and Japan declined >23% YoY, while exports to the EU were down 12%.
Canada did retaliate - and US exports there fell 85%.

Fewer Nazis. Less Nazism.

You can count how many Nazis you punched today. You punched two Nazis. Bravo!

You can't directly count how much the punching reduced Nazism, but there's probably a bit less of it now.

Sounds familiar from when I quit smoking (about 20 years ago 😮)

Have worked through the form and placed my vote - good to see quite a few English whiskies and distillers popping up among the choices.

Off to Rome in just over a week. Amy recommendations gratefully received. May just about have enough time to sneak off to one cocktail bar while I’m there.

Working on my English whisky book proposal today and have landed on an idea that takes the whole thing WAY outside my comfort zone.

Now trying to gauge whether it falls under "that's a good stretch" or "are you mental?" 🫠

Bugger, forgot the alt text: photo of a whisky glass with shorts bits of text overlaid, each a flavour descriptor: red fruits, blackberry compote, nutty, dark toffee, vanilla, subtle smoke, smoooooth.

I was back at Dram bar last night for the launch of @cotswoldsdistill.bsky.social Harvest Series No. 4, Wychwood Harvest.

It's an absolute belter.

Perfect neat even at 50% ABV. 1,500 bottles released. RRP £100, so it's not your everyday dram, but one taste and you'll wish it was.
