Amazing to see Jules from @HopHideout listed on the top 100 most influential people in the drinks industry in the most recent @DrinksRetailing issue! Totally well deserved. 🤩

No hamburger has ever been improved by a brioche bun.

Bar, gambas, pommes de terre sauté, sauce bisque, or seabass, wild prawns and potatoes, but that doesn’t really get the point across in quite the same way does it?

This photograph, captured at the turn of the 20th century, depicts Jack Daniel, recognizable in the white hat, seated alongside George Green, son of Nathan "Nearest" Green, the pioneering African American master distiller in the United States. For a long time, it was believed that Daniel had been taught the art of whiskey-making by a prosperous landowner and Lutheran preacher named Dan Call. However, it was actually Nathan Green who served as his true mentor, having been rented out by his owners to assist Call. Green took Daniel under his wing and continued working for his whiskey enterprise after the conclusion of the Civil War. The significance of Green's role was an open secret, passed down through generations. After over 150 years, Brown-Forman, the company that owns Jack Daniel's, officially acknowledged Green as the first master distiller, with Jack himself being recognized as the second. While the history of American whiskey has predominantly revolved around Scottish-Irish and other European distilling traditions, it's crucial to acknowledge the substantial involvement of enslaved individuals in the distillation process. They not only provided physical labor but also possessed extensive knowledge of alcohol production techniques originating from West Africa. Nathan Green's contribution is now formally acknowledged on the official Jack Daniel's website and highlighted during distillery tours in Lynchburg, Tennessee. Interestingly, the distillery itself is situated in a dry county where the sale of liquor is prohibited. To circumvent this restriction, they legally sell commemorative Jack Daniel's bottles that coincidentally contain whiskey.

This is what our government directly taxes you, the consumer, on every bottle you purchase. We have one of the highest duty rates in Europe when it comes to taxation on wine and from August 1st its set to increase by 20% on a bottle of wine.

Every human is flawed, every human makes mistakes. Hancock made specific self serving decisions that contributed to the deaths of thousands and while he might need to reflect and seek forgiveness it should not be done on national television.

Sad to see another bus company vital for public transport within Sheffield closing down. The No.10 circular is a particularly useful route for connecting the city.

In 1911, temperatures reached 33.5 degrees. This record stood for 79 years, until it was broken in 1990 with 34.3 degrees. This record stood for 29 years, and was broken in 2019 with 35.1 degrees. That record stood for just 4 years before being matched in 2022.

Too many businesses will shut for ever and people will be laid off with no means of income to look after their families. All this will happen very fast. Many will be at risk of losing their home too as a result. This is awful. Support and clarity must be provided urgently.

Boring tweet alert. Our phone at 257 Sharrow Vale Rd has developed a fault and we can't take calls at the moment. Sorry. We'll get a new working phone pronto.

That’s a wrap. Thanks to our brilliant cast and crew and to the good people of West Cork who helped make our fictional village of Duneen come to life. Can’t wait for you all to see it next year. #Holding 💚📺💚🇮🇪💚

A reminder that our Sharrow Vale Rd store is closed this weekend for refurbishment and reopens on Friday 1st October. Our 358 Fulwood Rd shop in Ranmoor is open today and from 10am tomorrow so why not pop in and have a browse.
