Monday Booze News 8 gallons of a Suffering Bastard can win a battle, it's a fight with fireball, and some gorgeous bars

  • It’s been hot. Like, too hot. Why don’t we cool down with some boozy treats this week.
  • Uncomfortable video of the day: pretty much how I’d be in front of the camera and why I’m sitting here behind my desk instead.
  • Low-key wine bars are where it’s at (but also, so many questions from this tiny piece. When did we start saying high-low in place of highbrow-lowbrow? And when did Somerville, MA become a cool place to visit??).
  • But if you’re not into wine, these cities are the best to visit to get your beer fix.
  • Looking for a little home bar inspiration? Set your eyes on these 16 gorgeous bars for all spaces.
  • Science tries again (and fails?) to tell us what is the right amount of booze to consume.
  • “Can you please send eight gallons of Suffering Bastard, everyone is really hungover.” This won a battle in WWII.
  • It’s a fight between Fireball and… what’s a hot cinnamon vodka?
  • Has Templeton Rye wronged you? There’s a lawsuit for that.
  • Cocktail snob? I may have participated in one or two of these acts.

    Somerville became cool when Journeyman/Backbar moved in…but it keeps getting better, especially in the Union Square neighborhood. I mean, any town that celebrates marshmallow fluff with a whole weekend of fun (“Fluff Fest”) is obviously a place you want to be.
