Science and Alcohol: The Perfect Pairing #startup #drinking #alcohol #science

The science behind why alcohol is so appealing to us - and many other species - despite our understanding that it might have negatives effects on us.

Our favorite part?

Given the prevalence of alcohol, it is perhaps little wonder that nearly all animals are physiologically adapted to the compound and enticed by it and its sugars—from the lowly fruit fly, which feeds its young with it, to birds, to elephants.

Visit us at The Drinking Press, and hail science.

Bourbon and Girl Scout Cookie Pairings. Always good to know what to drink with your cookie of choice. #drinking #startup #girlscouts

It's a good habit to know what to drink with your favorite foods, and who could forego girl scout cookies, the delicious cookies sell like hot cakes, without actually being hotcakes. This article talks about the bests bourbons to drink with your girl scout cookies of choice.

My favorite little tidbit:

The rich combination of peanut butter and chocolate initially seemed to be a daunting contender. Would the peanut notes in Johnny Drum create too cloying of a taste, we wondered? Not at all. In fact, it was a perfect match.

Some weird bourbons worth trying. #startup #drinking

Bourbons are a dime a dozen, but that doesn't mean they are all good. In this article, the writer tries a few bourbons that are off the beaten path - with a little bit of experimentation in the barrels.

A little tidbit of the article:

“Bourbon is in a place right now where demand is exceeding production, and this ever-diversifying market has spurred experimentation from all angles,”

Visit us at The Drinking Press, and give us some suggestions on some great bourbons - and tell us what you think of these.

Deep Ocean Water Vodka #startup #drinking #history

A vodka made with the essence of Hawaii - ocean water. Take a look at this interview with the creator of Ocean, an organic vodka with ocean water in the recipe.

My favorite little tidbit:

[It] was the creative idea of our founder, Shay Smith. It’s all about incorporating the true essence of Maui and Hawaii into our products. We live on tiny spots of land in a giant body of water.
