Binny's Blog

Coffee is still an immensely popular adjunct in beer, so it only makes sense for us to do another coffee beer episode. This time, we brought cookies.

It’s time for the Barrel to Bottle's Pick(s) of the Year. For the first time ever, we have seven people on mics, so it should be obvious why we had to split this into two episodes.

As the year winds down, we asked Binny's wine, spirits, beer and cigar buyers what impressed them the most in 2022.

What are you drinking for Thanksgiving? We’ve got recommendations for spirits before, during and after dinner, beers that pair with a wide range of dishes and wines to pair with specific types of guests at your dinner table.

It’s the end of October, which means it’s time to taste some Bourbon County Stout. Our friends at Goose Island were good enough to invite the Barrel to Bottle crew to their Barrel House and taste through the 2022 line-up.
