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.

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.

Nikka brings back a beloved 10-year single malt for the first time in a decade

Miyagikyo Single Malt 10 Years Old is the first age-statement release from the distillery since Japanese whisky's aged-stock crunch hit in 2015.

Whisky, bottle, label

Nikka Whisky is one of the most exciting names in Japanese whisky, so when they make a big announcement, it's almost always worth taking an interest. That's especially the case with the release of Miyagikyo Single Malt 10 Years Old, the flagship expression from its Miyagikyo Distillery — the fruit-forward, mountain-set second distillery Nikka built near Sendai, Japan, in 1969.

This release is the first age-statement Miyagikyo since 2015, and it follows the 2022 return of Yoichi Single Malt 10 Years Old, its coastal sibling. Bottled at 45% ABV, the 700ml release has a $174.99 price tag, so it's not exactly an impulse purchase — and with just 1,572 bottles available nationwide, tracking down a pour may be tough in the first place.

Alberta Wants to Become the Next Great Whisky Destination

The province has created a legally protected whisky designation and launched an ambitious trail to showcase its distilleries, terroir, and craft spirits.

Adult, Male, Man

Our friendly neighbors to the north have created a new category of legally protected whisky. Under the Alberta Whisky Act, whisky labeled "Alberta Whisky" must be mashed, fermented, distilled, aged, proofed, and bottled in the western Canadian province. Moreover, it must be made with Alberta water and a mash bill composed predominantly of Alberta-grown grain. The new designation aims to highlight the distinctiveness of Alberta's terroir and whisky-making traditions. The legislation also lays the foundation for the emerging Alberta Whisky Trail, spearheaded by Burwood Distillery.

While not as celebrated as Scotland or Kentucky, Alberta boasts a long and venerable whisky-making tradition. The high prairie, with its cold climate, pristine water, and fertile soil, is ideal for growing rye. Alberta Distillers, founded in 1946 and the oldest distillery in Western Canada, has long been a powerhouse contract producer—more or less Canada's answer to MGP. Now owned by Suntory Global Spirits, it has quietly supplied rye whisky to a host of Canadian and American brands. If you've sipped WhistlePig, Jefferson's, or Very Olde St. Nick, chances are you've tasted rye from Alberta.
