Summer Solstice — Sightglass Coffee

Founded in San Francisco in 2009, Sightglass Coffee is a cult-favorite roaster based in San Francisco that’s on the rise amongst coffee lovers. Just named one of Chowhound’s Top 15 Coffee Roasters in America, coffee lovers are obsessed with the newest summer releases, perfect for enjoying in any form. Whether you like it iced, hot, or black, these summer brews are worth a try for a change-up to your morning coffee ritual.

The first of the newest blends is the Sightglass Summer Solstice blend, a limited seasonal blend crafted for long days and golden light. A time when we seek carefree adventures, experience these moments with a radiantly refreshing cup. Each cup has flavors of nectarine, blackberry, and honeysuckle, making the perfect compliment for the warmer season (priced at $25 per bag).

Also joining the new summer roasts is Sightglass Coffee’s Women in Coffee Series: Peru roast, featuring tasting notes of Persimmon, Cocoa Nib, and Nouga. This blend is produced entirely by women famers at origin — growers whose expertise, stewardship, and labor shape every aspect of the harvest. In addition to these new blends, Sightglass also offers two instant coffees that are the perfect companion to enjoying great coffee on the go during summer travel.

Other featured Sightglass Coffee Summer Blends

Grizzly Peak, $19.13: a first for Sightglass, this is the brand’s inaugural Regenerative Organic Certified® coffee. ROC goes beyond organic: it’s a standard built around restoring soil health, supporting biodiversity, and treating farming as a system that gives back more than it takes. The blend features notes of Pear, Cara Cara Orange, Hazelnut.

As someone who covers and tries a lot of different coffee brands, I know how hard it can be to give new brands a chance. Every roast I’ve tried from Sightglass is always impressive, so I’m sure these new summer brews will stay right on tune. I’m especially intrigued to try the Summer Solstice blend with hints of blackberry and nectarine. As more brands like Sightglass begin to focus on regenerative agriculture practices, I think this brand will continue to remain a frontrunner in the industry.

Tip Your Hat to Stetson Bourbon: The Natural Evolution of America’s Most Iconic Western Brand

Alcohol, Beverage, Liquor

Stetson. You know the name. You proudly wear the hats. Now get to know its bourbon. America’s most iconic Western brand is launching Stetson Bourbon, touted as a “super-premium, high-rye proprietary blend distilled and bottled in Bardstown, Kentucky.” The brand, created in 1865 by John B. Stetson, who invented and perfected the cowboy hat, is bringing the same quality and craftsmanship to its bourbon, blended by Kentucky Master Blender Dan Callaway.

The launch has been a long time coming, resulting in a bottle and spirit worthy of the Stetson name. After a three-year journey of sourcing and tasting, Stetson found its ideal blender and two of the most respected bourbon producers in Kentucky, Green River Distilling Co. and Bardstown Bourbon Company.

Force of Nature is elevating the meat delivery game

An old high school buddy recently hosted a boys’ weekend at his farm in Virginia. We spent two glorious days fishing, cooling off in swimming holes, and sipping whiskey at sunset. Before I headed back to New York, he sent me off with a box full of frozen venison. He had harvested the deer the previous fall, and a local game processor had turned it into sausages, backstrap, and steaks.

Back in Brooklyn, I seared the lean, ruby-red cutlets in French butter, spooned over a dollop of cherry jam, and paired them with a bottle of Daou Soul of a Lion. My girlfriend agreed: it was one of the finest—and healthiest—dinners I’ve ever cooked.

New tequila finished in mole-seasoned barrels celebrates two UNESCO-recognized Mexican traditions

Alcohol, Beverage, Liquor

A new limited-edition tequila is bringing together two of Mexico’s most celebrated cultural traditions in a single bottle. Reserva de la Familia, the luxury tequila brand from Jose Cuervo, has unveiled Private Cask Collection Edition No. 2: Mole Cask, the first tequila finished in mole-seasoned barrels.

The release highlights the deep connection between Mexico’s culinary and distilling heritage. The tequila begins its journey in the agave fields surrounding Tequila, Jalisco, a UNESCO World Heritage Site recognized for its historic agave landscape and tequila production. It is then finished in barrels seasoned with mole, one of Mexico’s most iconic dishes and part of the country’s UNESCO-recognized Intangible Cultural Heritage of traditional cuisine.
