Blackbird Beer Club launches today, a new platform to celebrate and enjoy all things New York beer. The club, founded Ben Leventhal of Eater and Resy, is a continuation of the Blackbird brand and is essentially an all-access pass to area breweries.

Benefits include everything from limited-edition beers to members-only events and tours. Members gain access to beers on the house at certain brewers and bars in NYC and exclusive merch, not to mention access to a club newsletter.

Member labels include the likes of Brooklyn Brewery, Threes Brewing, ABC Beer Co., and more. Memberships of varying lengths are available and there’s even a point system the club can use to spend on meals at partnering restaurants. The club launches today for an introductory rate of $25 per month. So, if you have a beer fan in your life and are still holiday shopping (and based in NYC), this could be the gift you’re after.

Blackbird started several years back as a loyalty program for foodies and restaurant enthusiasts. It’s since expanded to include things like a brunch club and now a beer club. The club brings together fans of the NYC beer scene and treats them to a well-curated list of options as well as perks.

While we are on the topic, check out related features on subjects like the best holiday beers and the best non-alcoholic brews. If you’re a fan of hops, be sure to read about some of our favorite winter IPA style beers, endorsed by those in the know (bartenders). Here’s to something good in your glass.

How to survive a winery when you hate wine but your date loves it

Wineries for beginners from a beginner

Architecture, Building, Wood

Navigating the world while trying to operate outside societal norms can be difficult. When everyone in your friend group or family works a Monday-through-Friday, 9-5 job and you are the one jetsetting twice a month and calling multiple places home, it can be quite a challenge to maintain relationships. I have been able to find a way to maintain relationships (mostly) even though my life doesn't make sense to most people. It doesn't make sense to me most of the time either, but that is a conversation for another time. But one of the things that has been difficult for me is finding a way to navigate the wine world. My friends like wine. My dates like wine. Clients like wine. It is like the Roman Empire all over again, every time I go somewhere, someone is trying to pour me a bourdeau or a prosecco, or a riesling, or something or other that I don't know or understand. They are inviting me to wine tastings. They are trying to refine my palette.

But here is the rub. I really hate wine. Lately, I have considered myself a person intensely dedicated to brown beverages. I am a coffee in the morning, bourbon in the evening, and cola in between kind of man. And I like it that way. Navigating the culture of what wine goes with what meal is overwhelming and overcomplicated in my head. Coffee goes with every breakfast or dessert. Pepsi and Coke go with burgers and pizza every time. And, let's face it, bourbon goes with anything. So, why am I ranting about wine? Because I got an opportunity to visit the Susana Balbo winery in Mendoza, Argentina. Did I accept an invitation simply for the opportunity to sample Argentinian meat (which may be the best in the world)? You're damn right I did. Did I learn that I didn't hate wine as much as I thought, and there is a way to survive wineries when everyone around you loves it but you don't? Sure did. And here is how you can, too.

Buffalo Trace is turning its distillery into a summer camp for adults

Camp Buffalo Trace offers woodworking, tastings, and overnight luxury tents, but you'll have to win a sweepstakes to get in.

Buffalo Trace is a legendary name, and with that comes a lot of opportunities. They've done rare bottles, NFT auctions, and a tasting room in the middle of the Wyoming wilderness. So why not do a summer camp?

The Frankfort, Kentucky-based distillery just announced Camp Buffalo Trace, an adults-only (21+) riff on the classic sleepaway camp. Just think bourbon instead of lanyards.

Bartender making a drink

Portland is a foodie's delight. From top West Coast breweries and inventive restaurants to a bustling downtown food scene and excellent cart pods, there's an abundance of flavor. And that goes for the beverage side of things too.

Right now, excellent summer cocktails are being mixed up all over the Rose City. From Ladd's Addition to St John's, bartenders across the town are busy. And we've got a great recipe from a new operation in town.
