On Not Drinking
I’ve been in Austin for over a week now, playing and partaking in SXSW. This is my fourth year to attend, but my first to attend as a teetotaler: that’s right, I haven’t drank a drop of alcohol this year. Normally, SX is a time of free parties, free booze, free food, and serendipitous finds…
Infinium Champagne Beer
“Would you like some of my champagne beer?” I asked guests at a recent party. With a champagne-like effervescence, Infinium, a collaboration between Samuel Adams and Weihenstephan, is the new new wine, or the champagne, or the new whatever, it’s downright good. It’s a lot fun: a sort of bubbly, very smooth, beer champagne. Thanks…
