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!

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!

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

Sarah Miller @ginadingding.bsky.social · Jan 20

I’ve never put more effort into getting a pin, but it was definitely worth it!

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...

BrewDog in epic forest fail

BrewDog CEO James Watt has confirmed that almost 100,000 saplings planted by the brewer in Scotland to sequester carbon have withered and died.
