Man, I'm genuinely sorry this became a thing... I think I have an ok idea of how much it costs to build/open/operate food/drink service establishments. I do also think they have a huge, significant advantage with 100% of their sales being sales at their own establishments. Profit margins are signifi...

re: Parish now selling $24 4 packs
Posted by mrjduke on 4/16/19 at 9:47 am
Fenway = not open
Beer garden = not currently open
Farm = not open
Expanded fort point = just recently opened
Canton = has been open
So, even currently with the expanded fort point open, I would be willing to bet that 75-80% of their beer to go sales happens at the canton location. What about...

I'm not hating on Trillium, or at least don't want to. Actually, in reverse, I got in a debate recently at Parish defending Trillium and their negative press taking the side of the business owner. My point simply was that the price per sq ft for the warehouse at Trillium Canton is probably not too f...

Ain't nobody trading Ghost Diamonds for Congress St or Haze, I promise... Juice Machine released recently and I could see people trading these 1 for 1. I wouldn't trade these for anything less than Heavy Mettle or a surprise drop of a Headroom or something like that from Trillium. They are not going...

Once you start just grabbing a jucifer or ghost off the shelf and settling on that (and I say that as someone that has ghost on draft at their house), I feel like you start missing an aspect of what initially made this craft beer game fun. I have this conversation with some buddies all the time abou...
re: Worst cocktail blunder you ever experienced
Posted by mrjduke on 3/12/19 at 8:29 pm
Simple rule for shaken vs stirred:
Any cocktail with any juice, syrup, herbs or fruit should be shaken.
Any cocktail where all ingredients are spirit based should be stirred.
The only real reason for shaking is when you have ingredients of different viscosities to get them to come together ...
re: Andrew Godley interview in Country Road Magazine
Posted by mrjduke on 3/4/19 at 10:06 pm
Andrew is a good dude, and a smart dude. His willingness to be the main voice, but listen and respect other voices is the reason that it’s crazy that the truth is they’re just getting started. ...
re: San Diego - Where to eat and drink
Posted by mrjduke on 2/26/19 at 9:04 pm
Coolest cocktail bar in the United States is The Noble Experiment downtown. Will require reservations.
For beer, see if Horus is doing any releases while you’re there. The Modern Times Point Loma location has to be the #1 destination. Amazing beer available at the brewery and amazing beer to go....

We (Olive or Twist) sell on average ~1500 Old Fashioneds per week. 2nd or 3rd most popular drink we sell. Too much simple syrup would most likely mean the bartender was in a hurry or be...

Get bitters off Amazon. 1000s of choices. Free shipping.

As I type, I'm sitting 2-3 ft from ~18 different vermouths. Do research. Don't go cheap on vermouth. I mean, Dolin is cheap and it would be my main rec for go t...

Scoop my email from somewhere, and I have brioche buns and brioche loaves to spare after restaurant week. They are fresh baked by America’s favorite bakery, Sysco. Might be a joke, sorta, but they’re delicious. And, are reasonably priced and can order anytime, if you want them....
re: Bartender School
Posted by mrjduke on 1/29/19 at 10:52 pm
Don’t waste money on bartending school... like someone said, watch YouTube videos. Buy quality ingredients, and not just the spirits. A great cocktail is one where all ingredients are quality, not just the spirit. Fresh juices, herbs, not shite vermouth, etc. Start with something you like to drink. ...
