THC Brew, Belgian Winners, & Buffalo Trace Antiques

00:00 Intro - THC Brew, Belgian Winners, & Buffalo Trace Antiques


00:18 THC Brew, coming from Harpoon Brewery. The THC-infused NA Hop Forward Beverage is currently Massachusetts only. It's called “Hazed and Infused” on their website & comes from a partnership with Massachusetts based Novel Beverage Company. The cans contain 5 milligrams of THC, passionfruit puree, green tea, and hop oils. The brewery said that with the legalization happening across the northeast there was “High Demand” for the product - their words, not mine! Click for more.  https://www.drinkrecweed.com/


01:09 Belgian Winners! I’m a big fan of Belgian Beers, I recently talked with "Rob From The Internet Talks About Beer" on his podcast about Belgians (at https://youtu.be/XRnfTR-QXyA ) as they hold a special place in my heart. What if you can’t find a good Belgian? well here’s a list of some great Belgians you probably can find just about anywhere.

China’s BrewDog, Daniels Cola, & Black Bubbly

China’s BrewDog is coming, thanks to a partnership with Budweiser! Yes, the brand that seemed disgusted by big beer, has teamed up for a big bite of the Asian continent. By partnering with Budweiser China, they’ll have access to a much bigger network. This news comes as BrewDog seems to be planning for an IPO sometime in the coming years. If they can increase the distribution well over the current 1% of sales, investors would surely be happy. Get more at the link https://www.reuters.com/markets/deals/british-craft-beer-firm-brewdog-jv-deal-china-expansion-2023-02-20/


Daniels Cola, no, that’s not right. Oh, yes Jack and Coke RTD cans are set to have an official launch in the US soon. Were you lucky enough to try this while it was being tested in Mexico? The Canned cocktail will have an ABV of 5% and looks to be in about 12-ounce containers. More is sure to come out before the launch, and to find the latest - click the link. https://www.just-drinks.com/news/the-coca-cola-co-brown-forman-jack-coke-rtd-set-for-us-launch/

Black Bubbly - is a thing. Yes, you can make a cocktail with a stout and your leftover champagne. Whether you call it a black velvet might depend on where you are, or what you put in it. While some people will use a stout like Guinness, you can swap in a porter, even a black lager like Schwarzbier. The creamy, dreamy cocktail allows you to flex, and mix whatever ingredients you have. As a result, there are several variations of the cocktail. Here’s a link with more, or just search online https://www.tastingtable.com/1201152/black-velvet-a-dreamy-cocktail-that-mixes-hearty-stout-and-crisp-champagne/

Scotch Squabble, Wine and Chill & Biking Beer

Scotch Squabble! Scotch makers are accusing Bourbon Barrel makers of cheapening out and shorting them on their used barrels. The accusation is called “rinsing”. The real issue, is why aren’t Scotch makers making sure of the process the barrels they buy go through? Get more at the link https://thewhiskeywash.com/whiskey-styles/scotch-whiskey/scotch-guys-think-bourbon-guys-are-screwing-with-their-barrels/


Wine and Chill! To help celebrate Drink Wine Day tomorrow, I found a list of the best wine movies to chill with while you work on your best bottle. What’s your favorite wine and movie mix - is it “Sideways” with some *bleeping* Merlot? I know that’s high on my list. “Wine Country” is a fun jaunt, if you haven’t seen it - worth the watch. “Bottle Shock” is a good movie too - but on my list, this weekend, is “Uncorked”. Go to your bottle shop, get a bottle of good wine, and pick your movie at the link https://www.cozymeal.com/magazine/wine-movies

BOOZE NEWS: Stand-In, Binge Pill, & Truly Refreshing

Desk Decoy! Do you need some time off work? This year Saint Patrick’s Day is on a Friday and Actress Regina Hall (from Malibu’s Most Wanted, Girls Trip, and Scary Movie) is here to help all Irish Whiskey lovers to use their PTO days and make Friday March 17 an SPTO (St. Patrick's Day Time Off) with the help of a custom Jameson "Desk Decoy" — a life-sized version to "stand in" for you this holiday. To order yours head to JamesonSPTO.com before March 3rd. 


Binge Pill! Could you use a pill to help decrease the amount of drinking you do? There’s a pill that’s been found effective at reducing the desire to binge on alcohol. It was actually first meant to help wean people off opioids but was found effective in a three-month study to be very effective, along with counseling, to cut down by more than 25% of the excess drinking done by participants. That’s a lot of savings too as the pill costs a fraction of the cost of alcohol, which put about 1/3 of the money people were spending on overindulgence back into their pockets. We’re all about quality, not quantity, and maintaining a healthy relationship with alcohol. It’s why I take a few days off each week. This could end up being a new treatment program for those who aren’t alcoholics, but are prone to excess.  If you could use a hand - reach out to SAMSHA at samhsa.gov or 1-800-662-HELP (4357). find out more at the link https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-11749777/Binge-drinking-curbed-1-PILL-taken-hour-going-night-out.html

Truly Refreshing! Truly beverages are going through a major overhaul across all of their products... again. Also, they are dropping the ‘seltzer’ name and replacing that with ‘Vodka Soda’ The new look will also give Truly the opportunity to add the U.S. Soccer logo this summer as part of the company’s sponsorship deal. The unified look will start hitting store shelves by April.

Brewing Up A Storm, Pizza Wines & Pineapple Whisky

Brewing, it can’t be that hard, can it? Well yes and no. Home brewing is a bit different from commercial brewing. Some setups, styles, and techniques might take more or less time.  Still, the process between most small and big systems is similar. Clean and prep your items, boiling, adding ingredients in the right amounts at the right time, cooling things down, and then cleaning things up while your beer starts the fermenting process. That’s a VAST oversimplification of the process - but if you want to quickly learn a bit more about the process, check out the story at the link https://lancasteronline.com/features/entertainment/how-much-work-goes-into-making-that-glass-of-delicious-beer-we-decided-to-find/article_f23a8dd0-a305-11ed-b8ec-d37333af04c4.html

 

Pizza Wines! Now, I know, you think beer is the perfect beverage for pizza. I’m not saying you’re not wrong, but have you just not found the right wine? Pizza varies with the toppings, so it makes sense the wine should too, right? It’s ok, cause I found an article that does all the matching of your wines and pizza toppings. Head to the link, and then go get a bottle and a pie! https://vinyang.com/blog/best-wine-with-pizza

Pineapple has come for your cocktails, and sipping if you like. Do you enjoy Pineapple cocktails? Buchanan’s Blended Scotch Whisky has introduced Buchanan’s Pineapple and it brings with it flavors of caramel, vanilla, juicy pineapple, and zesty citrus finish to their smooth drinking whisky. It started showing up in stores earlier this month for about $30 a bottle.

Bear Wine, Pappy Ethics, & Valentine’s Bubbly

Bear Wine, from Kyle MacLachlan is here. His winery, Pursued by Bears, has a new tasting room where people from Walla Walla Washington, not far from the actor, director’s hometown, can come to drink and rub shoulders with a celebrity. Look for some references to The Twin Peaks show while you’re visiting the bright pink building that houses the tasting room too. Get more at the link https://www.foodandwine.com/pursued-by-bear-tasting-room-7106928


Pappy Ethics become a bit flexible when it comes to how some officials handled handled and set aside the rare bottles in Oregon. State officials have been caught red handed with bottles of Pappy Van Winkle that were supposed to be reserved for auctions.

Valentine’s Bubbly could set your Valentine’s Day on the right track - especially as you’re not spending a bundle for your bubbly. This list has options that range from $7 up to about $30. The price range does give away the fact that some of these aren’t full size bottles, which I consider a good thing. Sometimes raising one glass with your special someone is all you need.. Get the list and pair with a charcuterie board, greasy fries, spicy dishes, seafood, and more at the link https://www.tastingtable.com/1168525/the-best-affordable-sparkling-wines-for-valentines-day/

Vodka With Claws started rolling out in two forms on February 1st. White Claw RTDs with Vodka and White Claw Vodka. The original white claw is staying but seems to be growing up with vodka RTDs. It’s also welcome in some markets where certain beverages aren’t available where it’s convenient for consumers. The Vodka itself is triple distilled, priced in line with Tito’s Vodka, and also comes in flavors too.

BOOZE NEWS: Liqueur Trends, Bourbon Hunting, & Warming Wine

Liqueur Trends are back, as low ABV cocktails have been growing steadily for years, where the liqueur is the only source of alcohol. Since most liqueurs have a fraction of the ABV content of distilled spirits, it means you have a sippable beverage with an infusion of flavors that just isn’t possible without it. Boyden Valley Winery & Spirits, not far from me, shifted to focusing more on their Apple Cinnamon, Maple Cream, and Maple Bourbon Cream Liqueurs, and it’s paying off. Not only are they delicious, but heck - they’re local. Get more on some of the trends at the link, and ask your local bottle shop or bartender for their suggestions https://www.thezoereport.com/living/liqueur-cocktails



Bourbon Hunting! Get your hands on a great bottle that punches above its weight and get recommended over and over again. Old Ezra, Elijah Craig, and Weller all made the top of this list - to see all the ones that consistently make the cut, head to the link and get hunting! https://studyfinds.org/best-bourbon/

Warming Wine seems like a funny thing to do - but during the winter your wine can be downright chilly. The same wine that gets a frozen grape in summer might need a trip to the sauna before it hits your glass now. The article relates it to Goldilocks and the Three Bears & how to find 'just right' without overdoing it. Maybe just cuddle with the bottle if needed? Get deeper into the discussion at the link https://www.thedrinksbusiness.com/2023/02/whats-the-best-way-to-warm-up-a-bottle-of-wine/

Coming from the land of cuckoo clocks and a chocolate cake so good it’s named after the forest comes a *NOT* tequila. Like all Agave Spirits, they suggest it can be used for classic cocktails like Palomas, Margaritas, and Negroni.

BOOZE NEWS: A Little Irish Luck, US Favorite Vodka, & Brewing Teamwork

Brewing Teamwork! It’s happening in Canada and I hope that breweries everywhere are taking note. Typically smaller craft breweries have been locked out of these events, with some exceptions, because the venues are concerned they can’t meet the demand. To get around that craft brewers can go in together on the contract to meet the minimum requirements that have kept contracts elusive in the past. I hope the new model is successful and shows other cities that craft brewers can team up to make this happen. Get more at the link https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/edmonton/edmonton-craft-breweries-1.6730267


A Little Irish Luck, is here, and just in time for Saint Patricks Day. Don’t tell me this is early, I love St Paddy’s Day and anything that helps me plan out this very special time for me is a bonus. This Baileys Vanilla Mint Shake has mint, vanilla, and a hint of chocolate. Baileys Vanilla Mint Shake is meant to be enjoyed in all St. Patrick’s Day celebrations - however you choose to use it. If you want to find out more, including recipes you might need to try, head to the link https://www.baileys.com/en-us/products/baileys-vanilla-mint

The US’ Favorite Vodka has some competition. While Titos Handmade Vodka is still at the top, a New Zealand vodka has been nipping at its heels. Broken Shed has now been crowned the fastest growing vodka in the US for the second time. Broken Shed is available in 30 U.S. markets and growing. Find out more about Broken Shed Vodka at the link https://brokenshed.com/

BOOZE NEWS: Study Wine, Scotch Cocktails & That’s Not Whiskey

Welcome to the Boozebuddy Update. For you Boozebuddies today I have - Study Wine, Scotch Cocktails & That’s Not Whiskey

 

Now hit that like button, subscribe, and let’s crack this open


Study Wine. Sure, the study of wine seems pretty straightforward and not newsworthy. What if you’re not 21? The University of New Hampshire’s Paul College of Business and Economics has a very sought-after course called International Wine and Beverage. They're seeking a law to give students the ok for tasting wine or beer as part of a class at an accredited college or university. Click the link & tell me what you think https://newhampshirebulletin.com/2023/02/02/taste-but-dont-drink-bill-would-let-students-under-21-take-college-wine-and-beer-courses/


Scotch Cocktails. While these two words seem like they don’t belong together I’m here to tell you that they do. There's the Rob Roy, Penicillin, and others I liked. Maybe you will too. Get more on Scotch and cocktails at the link. https://www.epicurious.com/recipes-menus/scotch-cocktails

That’s Not Whiskey - and apparently, it never was. This whole Fireball Whiskey, Fireball Cinnamon, and Sazerac lawsuit issue I’ve talked about continues to keep going. Now We’re hearing the Fireball Whiskey maybe isn’t really whiskey! Interesting read at the link https://thewhiskeywash.com/lifestyle/guess-what-none-of-it-is-whiskey/
