Earlier this year, the editor of CRAFT SPIRITS magazine asked us to contribute an in-depth feature article addressing "Key Considerations for Building a Distillery." We agreed to do it, and the content poured forth because we continue to love that project type. The article is published online in the magazine's September/October edition entitled "FROM THE GROUND UP." If you're interested, here's the link.

#FunFactTuesday Did you know about the Scottish tradition known as "First Footing"? As the clock strikes midnight, a tradition unfolds—one that involves the first person to step into a home after the commencement of the new year. This individual not only conveys warm wishes but also presents a curated array of symbolic treats. This tradition embodies a deep connection to cultural significance, with three distinguished elements: Shortbread: A manifestation of the desire for a year filled with sweetness and joy, shortbread stands as a symbol of the warm embrace of the upcoming months. Whisky: Beyond being a mere beverage, the offering of whisky holds a deeper meaning—infusing the environment with warmth and a sense of conviviality for the months ahead. Black Bun: Not merely a fruitcake, the renowned black bun is a dense, rich creation infused with an assortment of dried fruits and spices. This symbolises the collective wish for prosperity and abundance in the approaching year. This tradition is not just a gesture; it is a culturally rich way to usher in the new year with a touch of solemnity and a delightful celebration of tradition.

This time last Friday at the Twice Brewed Inn we sat down listening to Bex from Majestic Wine as she explained the different grape types. As you can see from the video, she had us all eagerly taking it all in. It was a wonderful way to celebrate the Summer Solstice. Some more videos to follow as I can only show one video per post.

During weekend gatherings where friends and family come together, discussions about American traditions often lead to one fun question: "What's the most quintessentially American drink to enjoy over the weekend?" As the group debates, someone might lean back with a bourbon, another might champion Budweiser despite its German origins, and another may find solace in a glass of White Zinfandel. Among these diverse choices, if we explore the roots of America's beverage history, Applejack shines through, particularly Laird’s Applejack, with its rich narrative dating back to 1698 as the nation's first commercial distillery. This isn't just about promoting a brand; it's about honoring a legacy that includes figures like Abraham Lincoln, who reportedly served Laird’s in his tavern. In our commitment to celebrating such heritage, Yardii Distillery is excited to announce that our JARDII Golden Apple Brandy, inspired by this tradition yet distinct in its craftsmanship and taste, will be coming to the USA. This new addition aims to blend the historical essence of apple brandy with a modern twist, perfect for any weekend occasion. Today, while Laird's continues to embody the spirit of American history with its classic Applejack, at Yardii, we strive to contribute to this legacy with our JARDII Golden Apple Brandy, ensuring that the spirit of innovation and tradition lives on in every bottle. As you reflect on what symbolizes the American spirit, consider enhancing your experience with a taste of JARDII Golden Apple Brandy, soon to grace the shelves in the USA. It’s more than just a beverage; it’s a continuation of a storied American tradition.

Curators Coffee Shop isn't just about serving up coffees ; it's about immersing you in the art of pour over brewing. Each visit is like a journey into the heart of coffee craftsmanship. At Curators, pour over isn't just a method; it's a way of life. The baristas approach it with an almost spiritual reverence, treating each pour like a brushstroke on a canvas.What struck me most was the simplicity of it all. From the elegant design of the dripper to the slow, deliberate pour, every step felt purposeful, almost like a form of meditation.But what truly blew me away was Curators' dedication to education. They don't just serve coffee; they educate, enlighten, and empower you to brew your own perfect cup at home.And let's not forget the sense of community that permeates the shop. It's a place where coffee lovers come together to share stories, swap tips, and celebrate their shared love for the bean. #coffeebeans #curators #coffee #pourover #meditation #journey #skills
