Two blogs, different topics
I've had a link to The Real Absinthe Blog up on my site for a while now and while there are many absinthe sites, forums, etc. out there (including this one) that blog is my goto guide for what's going on in the absinthe distribution world.
And to the owner's credit, I can't go too far without being forced to credit Alan with most of what I know. Although, I am prone to troubling independent research as far as the drinking is concerned. ;P
A new one has now come to my attention (which goes to show you how long I've been hibernating) that focuses on production -- Ridge Distillery's blog. If you don't know about it, you haven't missed much...yet. At the moment, they're testing recipes and getting ready for production. Previous posts show them setting up their still, celebrating TTB approval, etc. In short, it's refreshing to see and creates a wonderful way to draw the consumer in. Not too mention that it It's a wonderful blend of art and craft and humanity. My only hope is that they continue to document the process as it is wonderful to have such an insider's view.
