For these couple of months, we are featuring beverages of all kinds, from alcoholic brews to coffee and even punch – very festive for the upcoming holidays! We have highlighted the favorite beer and food pairings of various industry professionals and restaurateurs, including Leonard Chan of The Iron Press. In the spirit of the holiday season, we have a how-to on “Ditchin’ the Kitchen” about utilizing to-go options for your festive feast for both professionals and everyday foodies alike. Likewise, James Wood, Owner of Outlaw Beer Consulting, introduces us to two famous punches that will add something special to any upcoming Halloween parties! The essentiality of gaining repeat customers is discussed in our Sommelier Perspective by Sommelier Jorn Kleinhans. We also reached out to out-of-town friend Tim Curry, owner and roaster at Wood-Fire Roasted Coffee in Nevada to hear his ideas and stories about restaurateurs developing proprietary coffee blends for their business. Lastly, we talk about the trending topic of restaurant sustainability with Chef and Proprietor Lindsay Smith-Rosales. Tune in and grab your copy to enjoy all this as well as our current cheese and produce picks!
