Imbibe Magazine is a Bartender’s Dream

I am kind of busy right now with the move, that whole finishing the Master’s degree thing, and closing up a VERY busy weekend at the bar, so I haven’t been able to write the types of daily post I strive for. However, despite all of the busy things going on, I have made time to read my favorite bi-monthly periodical. That’s right; the new issue of Imbibe magazine is out. Other cocktail bloggers with far more credibility than I have pointed out the magazine, so I am clearly being repetitive here, but I just wanted to give it my own nod of approval, if it counts for anything. If nothing else, it is my blog’s compliment to the magazine.

If you aren’t reading Imbibe, you need to start. The magazine is full of great information, common and obscure, but, what I really like is the variety of the topics. The magazine focuses on cocktails, spirits, beer, wine, and coffee; however, the magazine also reviews things like juicers and coffee grinders. I haven’t subscribed to Imbibe yet because I have been waiting for the move, but I know I have been able to find it a Barnes & Noble, so it is definitely out there! Some of the people recommending this magazine also have some stake in it. I am definitely not in that elite group, but I like to tell people about topical things I enjoy on this blog, so there you have it!

You can find Imbibe’s site here; or their blog here, which is also in my blogroll to your right. Here is a bad picture of the table of contents from the current magazine:
