Whiskey drinkers know all too well that once a previously unknown whiskey gets some press and notoriety (or a celebrity endorsement!), the price goes up, up, UP! It happened to Pappy Van Winkle. It happened to the Buffalo Trace Antique Collection. It’s happening to Blanton’s. And so on, […]
This prettily packaged can of beer found its way to The Murder Table via a bit of neighborhood Craft Beer trading that occurred in early September… The G-LO Clan spent the last week of August at our favorite lakefront rental just outside of Camden, Maine, and our neighbors […]
