Now in Cans: Dock Street Brewery

The Philadelphia brewery opens a cannery and tasting room.

Philadelphia’s Dock Street Brewery is opening a cannery and tasting room this month – just in time for the season of camping, beach strolling, pool-side lounging, and lots of activities that go great with beer in a can.

The new cannery and lounge is located next door to Dock Street’s brewpub in West Philly. Brewers will be fermenting, aging and canning beer onsite, led by Head Brewer Mark Russell and Assistant Brewers Edwin Lopez and Sasha Certo-Ware. They’ll begin with one of their core beers and two small-run seasonal offerings.

First up, the Dock Street Golden IPA. This beer’s hop profile includes Mosaic, Citra, Simcoe, and Amarillo, combined with oats and a touch of caramel malt for a light body balanced with medium bitterness.

Brewers are also canning the No Exit Double IPA, with an intense earthy and citrus flavor from Columbus, Centennial, Simcoe and Amarillo hops. The hop bitterness is at the fore, but followed by a distinct sweetness.

Finally, you can get cans of Jip The Blood, a Berliner weisse brewed with blood orange. The tasting experience begins with a sour punch that eventually melts into citrus notes.

All three of these beers will be offered in 16 oz cans, and you can pick up a 4-pack or 24-pack at the Dock Street Brewery, Dock Street Cannery and Lounge, and select distributors and restaurants. Dock Street expects to add more core brews and limited releases to its canning line in the near future.

But the expansion is about more than just canning beer – Dock Street is also opening a new tasting room offering beer, draft wine, some classic cocktails and even beer cocktails. The bar will be stocked with local spirits, house-made syrups and infusions, and plenty of Dock Street beer. The lounge will be open Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings for drinks and small bites, and can also be booked for parties and events.

Doritos now sells a nacho cheese-flavored ‘spirit’ because why not (and it’s not the first weird spirit we’ve seen)
Enjoy the taste of Doritos without the finger dust
Emperical Doritos

Sometimes, spirit makers get wacky and decide to flavor their vodka, gin, or other form of liquor with jalapenos or over-the-top fruits and herbs. That’s to be expected. But now and then, distillers do something a little unexpected. This is the case with the newest strange spirit on the market: Empirical x Doritos® Nacho Cheese Spirit. Yes, you read that right. It’s a limited-release Doritos nacho cheese-flavored spirit.

Empirical x Doritos® Nacho Cheese Spirit is exactly as it seems. It’s a spirit made using Empirical’s vacuum distilling process. It’s made with real Doritos chips and this unique process means the spirit doesn’t just have a vague cheesy flavor, it tastes like you somehow managed to squeeze out the flavor of your favorite corn chips and make them into a spirit.

Old-fashioned, mojito, martini: Your favorite drinks can be the perfect Christmas cocktails
Cocktail

When it comes to the holiday season, besides the massive feasts, presents, and general revelry, we love the boozy drinks. And while we enjoy a nice glass of complex single malt Scotch whisky or warming, nuanced mezcal, we also love well-made, classic cocktails, especially when they’re pretty easy to whip up for friends, family, and co-workers.

By classic cocktails, we mean the iconic, whiskey-driven old fashioned, citrus and white rum-centric daiquiri, the semisweet, lightly bitter negroni, and the boozy, perfect martini. But not just those well-known drinks. Below, you’ll find ten of our favorite classic cocktails that are perfectly suited for the holiday season. You won't have to deal with guests who hate the ingredients in themed Christmas cocktails because these cocktails are crowd-pleasers all year round. The best part? Since they are all reasonably low on ingredients and simple to make, you don’t need an advanced mixology degree to make them. Keep scrolling to see the best cocktails with recipes included.

Any season can be gin season. Unlike some other spirits, gin is great year-round. Maybe it's the fragrance, maybe it's the many botanicals that go into the stuff. Maybe it's great year-round because we simply just want a good cocktail.

If you're mixing up whiskey cocktails or engineering tequila drinks, more power to you. We simply encourage you to embrace gin and not just as the ball and chain to tonic. No, a good gin can do wonders in a number of cocktails, bringing fresh, herbal flavors to the mix and working great with high-toned additions like citrus and other fresh fruit.
