A drink at alethia's. The truth about drinking properly. HAD TO GO THERE! Mysteries, misconceptions and other easily explained phenomena. Mysteries, misconceptions and other easily explained phenomena. August 24, 2012. Often I find myself shaking a tiny fist at the pronouncements I hear in the industry that has made my living for the last twenty years. Its like the wild west, into the vacuum of information has poured guesswork, anecdote and outright speculation hoping for the lush gloss of legitimacy.

Drink A Week: February 2009
http://drinkaweek.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
Tuesday, February 24, 2009. Look out, he's got a bar spoon! I started with pouring beer, and discovered the fucked up intricacies of pouring beer from a tap. I can hear Rob. Screaming as he reads that, as he has. Just as my shift was ending, I began to feel the slightest hints of a groove. I was having fun interacting with customers. I had gotten the hang of pouring a good beer, and I even got show my shaker face to a lucky few folks. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Subscribe in a reader.

Drink A Week: Old Fashioned Ode
http://drinkaweek.blogspot.com/2009/08/old-fashioned-ode.html
Friday, August 7, 2009. When I first moved to San Francisco, Rob. When I started getting serious about cocktails, it's no surprise that the Old Fashioned was one of the first drinks I really dug into. This drink is about as simple as it gets, yet the whole is truly more than the some of its parts. As I experimented with the drink, I eventually settled on the recipe that, for me, is perfection. 2 oz Rittenhouse Rye BIB. 1 cube white sugar. 2 dashes Angostura bitters. In an Old Fashioned (surprise! Cocktai...

Sunday, November 23, 2008. Book Review - Artisanal Cocktais. I'm a lazy bastard, how's it going? Remember how I was all talking about that Scott Beattie book signing. Then never took the time to write about it, or the book? Yeah, those were good times weren't they? To make it up to you, I'm going to go ahead and tell you all about it. I know that doesn't sound like I'm making up for anything, but rather performing my bloggerly duty, but that's just because you're wrong. I mean I love you. Which was thoug...

Drink A Week: May 2009
http://drinkaweek.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
Wednesday, May 20, 2009. A while back, We got an e-mail from a representative of Obesello Absinthe. It is so hard. I also wanted to give the Obesello a whirl in a cocktail to see how it would mix. My first thought was to try it in one of my favorites, the Sazerac. I decided that it might be more fun to try it out in something different, just for kicks. I ran on over to the always handy Cocktail DB. 5 oz Dry Vermouth. 25 oz Grand Marnier. Links to this post. Tuesday, May 5, 2009. One of the things I'm par...

Friday, January 23, 2009. Repeal Day II: The 'Recon Crew - Part 2. In a twist most nefarious,the folks at. Cantina teamed up with John Walker. For a Repeal Day extravaganza. They put together a special menu for the evening of $1 cocktails. As you might imagine, by the time Ed and I got there, the joint was jumping, but we were undaunted. Duggan McDonnell was manning the hosting position, while behind the bar upstairs co-owner Aaron Prentice, and Jordan Mackay. It was a grand (long) night, and a grand way...

Tuesday, July 14, 2009. Does All Italian Beer Suck? Find Out With Pfiff! It was around this time last year, as the San Francisco summer was thinking about maybe staring (or not), that my friend (and huge beer nerd) Rob. Decided it was time to gather fellow beer lovers for a American wild ales. Tasting, complete with food pairings. The event turned out to be a great. All around, and even before the day was over Rob and I were talking about how he would need to do a tasting again. Head on over to Rob's site.

Friday, December 19, 2008. Repeal Day II: The 'Recon Crew - Part One. Didn't have enough to do what with keeping the fine folks of Eugene well supplied with excellent drinks, he's also the original champion of the greatest holiday in the world ever - Repeal day.
