January was long, wasn’t it? But the good news is we survived! It was also pretty quiet for me but there’s still plenty of booze news to catch up on, and a couple of new releases worth checking out, so do, please, give my first post of the new year a read. Cheers!

From the outside October probably looked pretty peaceful, but I’ve been quietly working away on a few articles, and there’s also plenty of booze news – including brand home and distillery openings – to read about so don’t give this gin monthly a miss! ginadingding.com/2025/11/02/o...

June has been another crazy busy month with more martinis than I could count and one of the most bonkers events l've ever attended. There's some pretty major booze news too so read on to find out all about it.

Wowser’s, what a month! As well as #GinADayMay, I’ve also undertaken a mammoth amount of judging and been to some truly amazing experiences and brilliants bars. I’m not sure how I managed to fit it all in but I’m mighty glad I did!

When the rest of the world was banning absinthe at the beginning of the 20th century the UK didn't bother. But we almost did at the turn of the 21st century!

Yeah totally agree. Was so glad I still got mine. Sorry you won’t

It’s Gin Monthly time and - despite February being the shortest month - it’s been a busy one, with closures, openings, fires and plenty of booze of course!

A genuinely interesting and educational documentary with loads of stills and mash tuns too! Well worth watching if you’re interested in drinks.

A lot happened in January.
We bid farewell to 2 booze brands and 2 wonderful bars, welcomed 2 new gins, and I visited 2 brilliant distilleries!

Absolutely - Rose is brilliant! Tempted by Level 3 but don’t think the timing is right at the moment

I’ve never put more effort into getting a pin, but it was definitely worth it!
WSET Level 2 Award in Spirits achievement unlocked!
Thank you to Rose Brookman at The Mixing Class for all your help and support.
Given it’s a New Year, I thought I’d throw out an overdue (re)introduction.
Despite never envisaging this as a career, I’ve come a pretty long way in the last 10 years.
So with 2025 ahead I’m going to continue to make the most of the opportunities that come my way. It’s worked so far after all!
December was pleasingly peaceful in a professional sense, leaving me plenty of time to get on with everything that a family Christmas demands, but there’s still plenty to read about including a very honest review of Miracle at Henrietta so what are you waiting for…?

MCC cites @brewdogofficial.bsky.social's disastrous "lost forest" as proof of "sustainable" credentials. Presumably their revoked BCorp status, after an investigation into a toxic work culture, doesn't matter for official partners @homeofcricket.bsky.social www.thedrinksbusiness.com/2024/04/brew...
