The flavor alone is enough to intoxicate you, especially when you pair these valued beverages with a tasty delectable. A steak dinner with the Cab, or a rich, raspberry cream double chocolate cake for the Bock, can almost whisk you away to Germany, France or even your own backyard. It is truly amazing where these foods and beverages can take us in a single bite or sip.
The age of young, vibrant, interested connoisseurs is upon us here in America. Home brewing and taking it back to good food from small farms has exploded here in the states and many of the supporters of these practices are below the age of thirty. These diligent, hard working kids sell their lives to work tirelessly on CSA driven farms (most of which hold higher standards on organic than the USDA) and local distilleries, breweries and wineries, some of which grow what they brew.
In doing so we are actively creating a strong community of healthy, wholesome people with values of sharing information and lending a helping hand to one another; a social trait we should all strive to hold on to. Fulfilling meals and bodacious brews bring together family, friends, foes, ideas and debate all over the world, keeping compassion and thoughtfulness alive. The fast pace of freeways and fast-food has destroyed these traditions in America taking us farther and farther away from what is important: Earth, community and being a part of a movement for the future generations of this world in which we have the privilege to be a part of is important for everything.
We should be dedicated to keeping these values alive by sharing meals together and clinking glasses together in merriment around a full table of fresh fruits and vegetables, grown by each other.
We here at Effervescent Spirits ARE dedicated to that idea. We aim to directly bring this movement to your living space, bring everyone to the farmer that feeds us, bring you closer to the vines of Hops and Grapes from which we are all so intoxicated by, as well as introduce you to the artists and craftsmen who create these potions and cuisines.
We here are also dedicated to learning from You because this wouldn’t be a community without all the key players, and WE are ALL key players in making this movement a well-oiled machine. It is a simple philosophy of Do Right and Good Will Happen. What better way to start celebrating such a philosophy of Indulgence in Decadence than to live within sustainable means and share our knowledge of fine foods and good booze.
Visiting Effervescent Spirits will bring to you a cornucopia of recipes and pairings from around the world. A smorgasbord of events, reviews, virtual tours of Farms, Vineyards, Distilleries and tons more information can be found here. Featuring daily, weekly and monthly posts ever changing for your brains to soak it all in.
