Oh, 2017, you sure did suck. Somehow, though, I managed to get some dumpster fire-lit writing done. Here are three of my favorite spirit histories (last is 2 parts):
thedailybeast.com/solving-the-ri…
thedailybeast.com/is-peach-brand…
thedailybeast.com/rediscovering-…
thedailybeast.com/the-rebirth-of…

And three cocktail histories:
thedailybeast.com/the-daiquiri-i…
thedailybeast.com/is-the-sazerac…
thedailybeast.com/how-the-john-c…

And three of my favorite cultural histories, or whatever the hell they are:
thedailybeast.com/new-yorks-firs…
thedailybeast.com/a-brief-but-no…
thedailybeast.com/the-art-of-mix…

And finally, a couple of grumpy complaints (how we categorize whiskey and how I hate barstools):
thedailybeast.com/the-problem-wi…
thedailybeast.com/why-i-hate-bar…

Thanks for reading 'em, or having the grace to pretend that you did, and for 2018 let's all let hope triumph over experience. Cheers!
