These days beer could not be more popular. New craft breweries open
by the week; most pubs routinely serve several draught real ales;
supermarkets stock an astonishing range of the best beers from all
over the world, and BrewDog raises millions by crowdfunding. Even
Majestic Wines now sells beer.But until now, though people have
always written evocatively and passionately about this delicious
beverage, no-one has collected all the best beer writing into one
volume - even though the same job has often been done for wine.Now
the award-winning beer writer Adrian Tierney-Jones has put that
right, with this endlessly entertaining anthology, packaged as a
beautiful small-format hardback perfect for the gift market. In it
you'll find great writing celebrating good ale from A.E. Housman
and Ernest Hemingway to Inspector Morse, Ian Rankin and Ice Cold in
Alex, as well as the best beer writers of today like Peter Brown
and Evan Rail, and the funniest, most delicious celebrations of
beer in fiction and poetry.
Bourbon Is My Comfort Food reveals the delicious beauty of bourbon
in cocktails and the joy of creating them. Whether readers are new
to bourbon or already steeped in its history and lifestyle, they
will gain the knowledge to make great bourbon cocktails, share them
with friends and family, and expand their whiskey horizons-because
the only thing better than a glass of bourbon or a bourbon cocktail
is sharing it with a friend. As the saying goes, "There are no
strangers with a glass of bourbon in your hand." From building your
home bar to basics on cocktail technique, Heather Wibbels showcases
classic bourbon cocktails-like the Old Fashioned, the Manhattan,
Whiskey Sours, Highballs, Juleps and more-in approachable ways. She
even includes Cocktail Labs, experiments to explore classic
cocktail elements and play with flavors, textures, infusions,
syrups and garnishes. With over 140 recipes, this book is more than
a cocktail recipe book-it's a primer on manipulating flavors and
balance in whiskey cocktails. But more than that, Bourbon Is My
Comfort Food is a celebration of 10 years of bourbon education and
cocktails by Bourbon Women, the first spirits group dedicated to
women and their love of bourbon. This book celebrates with
cocktails from the Bourbon Women leadership team, branches across
the nation and winners from the Bourbon Women annual Not Your Pink
Drink contest. Get out your bourbon and cocktail shaker, and
explore the wide world of bourbon cocktails with Heather Wibbels
and Bourbon Women!

The Sazerac, the Hurricane, and the absinthe glass of Herbsaint are
among the many well-known creations native to New Orleans's
longstanding drinking culture. But more than vehicles for alcohol,
the cocktails and spirits that complement the city's culinary
prowess are each a token of its history. In every bar-side toast or
street-corner daiquiri you can find evidence of the people,
politics, and convergence of ethnicities that drive the story of
the Crescent City. In Lift Your Spirits: A Celebratory History of
Cocktail Culture in New Orleans, Elizabeth M. Williams, founder and
director of the Southern Food and Beverage Institute, and
world-renowned bartender Chris McMillian illuminate the city's open
embrace of alcohol, both in religious and secular life, while
delving into the myths, traditions, and personalities that have
made New Orleans a destination for imbibing tourists and a mecca
for mixologists. With over 40 cocktail recipes interspersed among
nearly three hundred years of history, a sampling of premier
cocktail bars in New Orleans, and a glossary of terms to aid drink
making and mixing, Lift Your Spirits honors the art of a good drink
in the city of good times.
