When Aviation American Gin first hit shelves in 2006, it was something of a novel spirit. Unlike the juniper-forward London dry gins that had long dominated the market, Aviation brought other botanicals to the forefront, with its prominent citrus, spice, and floral notes. Marketed as American-style gin, the new spirit sparked a sea change among domestic craft distillers, who began to experiment more and more with distillations representing their home terroir.

Bourbon doesn’t have to be made in Kentucky. In fact, bourbon is now made in every state and some U.S. territories. And while it’s probably a stretch to call bourbon “America’s native spirit” — that title could equally go to apple brandy or rye whiskey — it’s certainly a distinctly American product anyone in the U.S.A. can make, provided they follow the rules , of course.

As an imbiber based in Los Angeles, I’ve made peace with the fact that a night of barhopping involves some forethought. Living in an urban sprawl with limited public transportation, many would-be revelers have to focus on a neighborhood with a good concentration of bars, since rideshares around the city can get pricey. So I was ecstatic when I found that in Hong Kong, some of the best bars in Asia, and even the world, are within steps—or an escalator ride—of one another.

The beer business is constantly evolving. It long ago departed from European styles to the great American lager, and then again straight into the craft beer era. And after the initial boom of West Coast IPA, the cloudy New England style came along to dominate the scene. But these days, the beer consumer has a more varied palate. From craft breweries embracing rice as an adjunct in lagers, experiments with wild yeast, and reviving centuries-old brewing techniques, there are a lot of factors chang

The moment Europeans arrived on American shores, they started making wine. Initially, however, three things went wrong. First, when they brought over Vitis vinifera, phylloxera — which is native to North America — infected the vines and they were unable to adjust to the new climate. When they pivoted to using native grape varieties, the resulting wines didn’t have the same flavor profile they were used to back home.

The New Illinois Beer Label of the Week: 93 Octane does a lot to pair beers with car styles or car-centric stuff (see also: their various oil-weight stouts like the 10W30 ) and you can’t tell me that a muscled-out clown car isn’t the perfect vehicle for something pumpkin spiced.
