  • Why African spirits are an exciting frontier in the world of booze

    Even the most experienced of bartenders could perhaps be forgiven for having a blind spot when it comes to African spirits. While the continent has a long and varied distilling history, its produce has tended to be consumed on the continent rather than exported. But a wave of new distillers are hoping to change that. [...]

    boris beer

    If the endless partygate scandal has put you in the mood for a drink, one brewery has the beer for you. Perfect 10 pale ale by Congleton-based Beartown Brewery is equally at home being drunk in the garden or sitting at your desk in the office, and is said to pair excellently with Colin the [...]

  • Britain’s top gastropubs: Which London bars won big?

    January 27, 2022

    Suffolk’s Unruly Pig has been voted the UK’s best gastropub. The ‘Britalian’ pub-restaurant in Bromeswell is one of five East Anglian pubs in the annual Estrella Damm Top 50 Gastropubs List for 2022, with 18 in London and the South East being recognised. “This list is the gold standard.

  • How the wine-in-a-can revolution is hotting up thanks to The Uncommon

    January 14, 2022

  • Beach Bum Rum: How a Scotsman is making Mauritius’ favourite tipple

    January 10, 2022

    A Scotsman living in Dubai is behind two award-winning rums made on Mauritius, the last home of the dodo. He is now hoping they will give the island’s long-established Pink Pigeon a run for its money. Born in Macduff in Aberdeenshire, David Adamson swapped wine making in England for rum-making, with some success: his Beach Bum [...]

  • Give it up for the world’s most extreme winemakers

    November 10, 2021

    Every wine merchant has their hero or heroine – not necessarily their best sellers but the wines and winemakers they most admire. These are often viticulture’s unsung heroes – small producers who work with new techniques or revive old ones, sometimes toiling in the harshest terrain, where machines aren’t viable and human power is the [...]

  • Spend this Halloween in a hotel haunted by a giant sea beast

    October 26, 2021

    The Averard Hotel in Lancaster Gate is perhaps the first such venue to guarantee a sleepless night. The pop-up hotel in the Grade II listed former home of a doctor, architect and two Liberal MPs is hosting a pre-Halloween “Kraken Dread And Breakfast”, offering the chance to join the Leagues of Darkness.   The brainchild of [...]

  • Scotland may be famous for whisky but its gin is on the rise

    October 6, 2021

    When you think of Scottish spirits, there really isn’t any competition.

But there is another spirits industry quietly gaining international [...]
