You’ve seen Stillhouse Spirits around, even if you don’t know it. Packaged in distinctive (and proprietary) red stainless steel cans (the ones that look like paint thinner, but won’t kill you if you drink it, obviously), they stand out on the shelves (and, according to the company, “go where glass can’t”).

This stand-out approach extends to their product line which, in addition to having an un-aged corn whiskey, has flavors such as coconut, mint chip, and crisp apple. The man behind these products, CEO & Founder Brad Beckerman is taking the company a step further with the announcement that multi-platinum rapper and producer G-Eazy is now a Partner and the Co-Creative Director for Stillhouse Spirits.

The Oakland-based G-Eazy (Gerald Earl Gillum), known for songs such as “I Mean It” and “Shake It Up” (as well as his new album “The Beautiful & Damned”) said he wanted to work with Stillhouse because of a shared vision with Beckerman.

“I wanted to partner with Brad because he has this infectious energy and passion for the brand he’s continuing to grow,” Gillum said in a statement.

On Beckerman’s end, he said Gillum’s drive and creativity were keys for him in entering this partnership. Gillum’s partnership is his first in the spirits industry and, according to a release, helped close a significant round of funding for Stillhouse.

The first task Gillum will be taking on is the expansion of the brand into the Louisiana market, a big deal for the rapper as it is where he went to school.

How to make The Last Word cocktail, a gin classic from another era
Impress your guests and make this circa 1916 drink
Last Word cocktail

Gin often plays a prominent role within classic cocktail culture. Such is the case with The Last Word cocktail, a delightful green concoction enlivened by the aromatic clear spirit. It's a cocktail that has practically lived two lives: one as it was born during the heyday of early 20th-century American bar life and another that started about two decades ago.

How did it come about? Drinks folklore says The Last Word was devised by Frank Fogarty at the Detroit Athletic Club circa 1916. Oddly enough, Fogarty was not a bartender but an award-winning vaudeville comedian. Regardless of his progression, he came up with a damn good cocktail that uses some rather obscure ingredients.

Everything you ever wanted to know about Pinot Grigio, the perfect sipping wine
Be careful with this one, it's almost too easy to drink.
White wine

If ever there was a perfect sipping wine, Pinot Grigio would have to be it. Bright and crisp, fresh and lively, refreshing and clean, Pinot Grigio is arguably one of the most dangerously easy wines to drink. Also known also as Pinot Gris, depending on where you are in the world, this wine is citrusy and pleasantly acidic with a short finish that won't overpower a dish.

Pinot Grigio's diversity is wonderfully wide. It can become something truly artistic and beautiful or, simply, a blissfully cheerful and pleasant picnic wine. So, if you're looking for a great bottle to pack along on a day trip with a blanket and a wicker basket full of charcuterie, Pinot Grigio is your best bet.
Are Pinot Grigio and Pinot Gris the same wine?
