Ok, maybe school’s not out for everyone yet, but it will be soon and at least in the northeast that means it’s time for the wild 10-12 weeks of trying to cram in every outdoor activity people can think up. Here’s to however you enjoy the summer and if you grill and smoke food as much as I do, after this week I highly recommend owning a fire extinguisher in addition to my usual recommendation of a meat thermometer. I hope you’re doing as well as you can be and now on with what’s going on!

I’ve got another tasting video up on my YouTube channel and it’s a little different than beverages this time:
I know it’s the cliché but if you like this or any of the other 238 videos I’ve made over the years, please consider subscribing to the channel and all the rest of those things I mention above (and sometimes forget to mention in every video). I’ve got about 30 videos stored up and more products getting sent to me all the time to taste “live” for the viewers, so lots to come. Thank you.

Before you go, if you haven’t seen this from last summer in Newport, you’re in for a treat. And if you have seen it, I hope you’ve watched—and listened, it’s getting released as part of an album—as many times as I have.
