How To Make Your Own Ginger Beer

As far as I’m concerned, springtime is Dark and Stormy season. As the rain pummels the ground here in the Pacific Northwest, a little window of blue sky nestled between two dark clouds in the neighboring distance makes me wish I were watching the rain fall from across a dark ocean, my little Caribbean fishing…

Instagram post 2192377074269012305_203378405 Happy Repeal Day! Usually I post pictures from our first Repeal Day celebrations back in the early 2000s in Eugene, Oregon. But to be honest I'm kinda running out (not a lot of cell phone cameras out there back in 2001). So this time I thought I'd share another facet of the Repeal Day story. . A few years ago when Repeal Day way getting really widespread, I started to become worried that some massive liquor company was going to trademark the term "Repeal Day". . It was already headed that direction when one of them snapped up RepealDay.com, which then prompted me to register and design RepealDay.org (which I still host) and work to make that a more official home of Repeal Day than just my original blog post from 2006. . The thing about a liquor company trademarking the term Repeal Day is that once that happens, we're all sort of beholden to them for it. Like, if a big whisky firm owned the term Repeal Day, you could be sued for hosting a Repeal Day celebration in your town. Fuck that. . So I spent some time talking to Phillip Greene, a trademark attorney for the United States Marine Corps, and who just so happens to be one of the founders of the nonprofit Museum of the American Cocktail (along with Dale DeGroff, Robert Hess, Anistatia Miller, Jared Brown, Chris McMillian, David Wondrich, Gary Regan, and others) . With his help, I successfully donated the term Repeal Day to the Museum, so that they can keep it free for all to use for many years to come. If you're a big brand who wants to use the term Repeal Day to promote your product, all the Museum asks is a donation to help keep that nonprofit running. . I hope you all have a very happy Repeal Day today, and a big thank you to everyone who's celebrating along with me for the past nearly twenty years. .

Instagram post 2185861348792171774_203378405 I judge a fair number of cocktail competitions and visit my share of bars around the world, and I’ve watched, time and time again, bartenders struggling with dispensing house made sodas from a soda siphon. . So we shot a quick little video the other day about the right way to do it - it’s just a simple little hack (or two) and I posted it to my website. . I know it’s a super small percentage of the population that will benefit from this, but if you’ve ever gotten frustrated with the glassful of foam that seems to spew forth from your soda siphon, I hope this is helpful to you! . I have a decent camera now and I’m just learning how to use it, so I’ll probably make some more of these in the future whenever I think of something that might help. . Link is in my profile. Hope you enjoy.
