ON THE HISTORY, CULTURE, AND CONSUMPTION OF BOOZE AND OTHER BEVERAGES
Welcome to DrinkingFolk!
We enjoy tales about folksy drinks and folks who drink. Beverages exist in ancient, rich, and bizarre cultural contexts, and so do we. Most modern beverage publications get off on the legal trichotomy of beer, wine, and spirits, but DrinkingFolk knows this culture cannot be so narrowly pigeonholed. Liquid nourishment may often come in a cocktail glass, but it can also be a substantial meal of thick beer. Alcoholic milks, boozeless beers, and psychedelic sips all exist outside of the sommelier’s definitions. DrinkingFolk dives into the diverse traditions of drinking and presents them in their historical and cultural contexts. These are deeper than any bottomless mimosa.
Dust off the forgotten bottles on your back bar and enjoy this eclectic collection of drinking esoterica.
