Coffee aficionados and skeptics! Let's talk about the World Barista Championship – the battleground where beans meet brilliance! Now, I know what you're thinking. "Oh, here we go again, another debate about rules, judges, and who snagged the last bag of Gesha from Peru." Picture this: You're at a basketball game, right? Now, imagine if we judged slam dunk contests with the same severity as a nail-biter NBA showdown. Madness, right? It's like comparing apples to, well, coffee beans! Or expecting a pickup game to follow every technical rule in the NBA handbook. Let's be real, nobody's calling traveling in a friendly game of hoops. And let's not forget the Harlem Globetrotters, the OGs of hoop theatrics. They're not playing by the same rules as your local high school team – and that's perfectly fine! Variety is the spice of life, after all. So, back to the WBC. Sure, it's got its flaws. Judges' taste buds might have a mind of their own, and not every competitor has access to all the resources we would ideally want. But hey, that's how the cookie crumbles! Can the WBC improve? Absolutely! But let's not throw the French press out with the bathwater. This competition isn't just about brewing the perfect cup; it's about celebrating the craftsmanship and passion behind every latte art swirl and espresso shot. It's about showing the world that baristas aren't just button-pushers on coffee machines – they're scientists, and caffeine-fueled artists! So, let's raise our mugs to the WBC – where the only thing stronger than the coffee is the camaraderie. Cheers to brewing up a storm and proving that behind every great cup, there's a barista with skills worth savoring! #WBC #worldbaristachampionshiop #coffee #barista #competition #staycivil #civilcoffee

Results not (always) guaranteed but...

Another glorious summer day, another day with our beloved village local closed. Although I do get a sense that there might be something in the offing. We'll see. Watch this space. In the meantime, I'm adding a beer and venue guide to Beer Today. Not to replace any other guide, just as a standalone guide to which venues (pubs, bars, taprooms) are consistently great, and which beers (which must be available all the time or make regular appearances) are really unmissable. Let me know by emailing [email protected] or via DM. Your suggestion(s) must include a reason behind the nomination, and all will be checked out thoroughly, of course, before being added to the guide. Go! #beer #pubs #cider #bars #taprooms #recommendations

Sure, we're known for the cocktail that is our bar's namesake, but there's another storied cocktail that is a must-try when you visit the Sazerac Bar: The Ramos Gin Fizz! Learn more about it and other New Orleans classics in this article from New Orleans Magazine! Cheers!

 A good case study for trends in  #customerexperience and  #retaildesign where you come to a branded space NOT to do shopping; you come to meet each other, intimately,    #chivasbrothers #brandstorytelling #scotchwhisky
