Batch Nashville’s Carefully Curated Bundles

Batch Nashville cultivates some of the finest confections and ingredients, organizing them carefully into thoughtful, useful collections that are sure to impress. Themed baskets allow you to give the perfect gift to that coffee addict or grilling aficionado in your life, or subscribe to the Tour of the South series to experience a taste of culture in five different cities, including Austin and New Orleans.

The Batch Nashville team puts each potential product through its paces, ensuring that everything they put in a basket is sure to be a new favorite.

Batch Nashville also focuses on bringing to light companies and people who haven’t received as much publicity, finding small, artisanal operations to highlight. Even if a product receives top marks from the team, it still needs to find its way into a Batch, each of which contains items they’re sure will work together. When you open your Batch, you’ll really feel like someone put it together with care and thought just for you.

The Happy Hour Gift Batch expands even the most robust bars with unique mixers that are useful and unique. Walker Feed Co’s Southern Bloody Mary Mix takes the vodka-based drink to another level with blackstrap molasses, bourbon barrel aged Worcestershire sauce and creole mustard. Eli Mason’s Old Fashioned mix has a rich taste with a hand-mixed blend of premium bitters, cane sugar, and organic syrup. An eight ounce bottle of Saigon Cinnamon simple syrup blesses any drink or sauce with a kick of spicy, sweet cinnamon. An artistic wine topper from Tennessee company Hester & Cook rounds out this Batch.

North Spore launches its first-ever mushroom coffee — here’s why it matters
Should you switch to mushroom coffee?
Wine cap mushroom spore

Leading mushroom supplier North Spore has launched its first-ever mushroom coffee product. To create this delicious concoction, the team has paired antioxidant-rich coffee with 100% organic fruiting body extracts from five adaptogenic mushrooms: Lion’s Mane, Chaga, Reishi, Cordyceps, and Turkey Tail. For coffee drinkers, this new mushroom coffee pairing offers all the benefits of caffeine, plus stress reduction, immunity support, mood enhancement, and mental clarity.
To learn more about this exciting new medium roast mushroom coffee release, I interviewed Matt McInnis, co-founder of North Spore. McInnis is passionate about the new launch, sharing that the North Spore team believes in the power of mushroom fruiting body extracts and thinks what it has to offer is a great alternative to many mushroom coffee products on the market right now. With a mission to offer mushroom coffee that's good for you and tastes good, too, here's what sparked the launch of North Spore's new mushroom coffee.

Lime lagers are having a moment—here’s why they’re perfect for summer
Lime lagers are nothing new, but they're trending
Troegs

The lime lager is nothing new. This style has been around for a number of years. While there’s no official “first lime lager”, Bud Light Lime was launched less than two decades ago in 2006 (and drinkers have been adding lime to Mexican lagers for as long as they've been brewed). And, while the style has been available to drinkers in the US for around twenty years, it’s having a bit of a moment this spring.

While many brands have been around for years, like Stone Buenaveza, Half Acre Green Torch, Founders On Cloud Nine, and Great Lakes Mexican Lager w/ Lime, there are a few new offerings this spring. These include the zesty, fresh, and refreshing Brooklyn Playa de Brooklyn and Tröegs Let The Sunshine In.

From sangiovese to syrah: the ultimate guide to dry red wines
Some of the greatest wines ever made
Cut of grilled steak with glass of red wine

Chances are your favorite red wine is dry. I know that not because I have a crystal ball, but because pretty much every popular red wine is dry. (I urge you to discover the many delights of sweet red wine, but not right now.) Before we get into types, let’s address the big question: What makes a wine dry?

Wines are called dry when they have comparatively low amounts of residual sugars, meaning they taste less sweet (technically below 1%, or nine grams of sugar per liter). All wines would be dry if fermentation weren’t halted or they were back-sweetened. Yeast will “ferment until dry,” meaning it will gobble up all the sugar there is, no crumbs left. This dry descriptor applies to all types of wine – sparkling, white, red, and rosé. The first time dry appears in writing referring to wine was in Richard Ames’s 1691 poem “The Last Search After Claret, &C.” in which the narrator is looking for a red Bordeaux but is offered sweet port instead:
