In this episode, we interview Jeff Cioletti, author of The Year of Drinking Adventurously. This episode is twice as long as our previous episodes, but we could have talked for hours with Jeff. He is a true kindred spirit and enjoys a good spirit. The post Episode #022 – Interview with Jeff Cioletti, author of The Year of Drinking Adventurously appeared first on Speaking Easy.

You want a little adventure in your life. And why not? With thousands of breweries and distilleries in the United States, there are more choices than ever on tap and behind the bar. So many, that you’re a little bit intimidated. That’s where this week’s Fuhmentaboudit! guest comes into play – Jeff Cioletti, author of “The Year of Drinking Adventurously: 52 Ways to Get Out of Your Comfort Zone.”  He shares that the book serves as a guide to getting out of your beverage comfort zone once a week for a year. Each of the fifty-two chapters features the story behind a unique beer, spirit, cocktail or wine, designed to broaden your drinking horizons. Some correspond with specific seasons or holidays, encouraging you to forget the million-dollar marketing-supported “conventional wisdom” and drink against the grain. It’s Cinco de Mayo? There’s much more to the celebration than lime-enhanced lager and shots of rotgut tequila. St. Patrick’s Day? Do you really want to be the 700th person of the evening to order a green-tinted brew and a shot of cheap whiskey? Tune in for more! “The tiki chapter I had a lot of fun with… I realize now everything is about context and drinking within context, it’s not just about fruity drinks!” [31:00] –Jeff Cioletti on Fuhmentaboudit!  

Every once in a while, you might want to step outside of your comfort zone and try something besides whisky. A WhiskyCast listener asked for suggestions along those lines after hearing our October episode about Armagnacs, and we turned to Jeff Cioletti for answers. He's the author of the new book "The Year of Drinking Adventurously: 52 Ways To Get Out of Your Comfort Zone" and editor-at-large for Beverage World magazine, and he'll join us for this week's WhiskyCast In-Depth. In the news, Diageo has bought a stake in Denmark's Stauning Distillery, while The Macallan and Glenfiddich are both planning new expansions. Glenfiddich's plans have a local politician concerned about "whisky nutters" crowding the roadside to take pictures. We'll also have details on some of the week's new whiskies, say farewell to one of Speyside's leaders, and taste three whiskies from around the world.

From trucking to trappist breweries, this episode of Beer Sessions Radio has a little bit of everything! Jimmy Carbone is joined by Jeff Cioletti, Author of The Year of Drinking Adventurously, John Holl, Editor of All About Beer Magazine and author of the forthcoming Dishing Up New Jersey and Stephen Valand, fall co-host and owner of Brooklyn Brew Shop.   “All the major truck manufacturers all do specifically tailored trucks for the beverage market. Most of the time they have people on their sales team directly selling to beverage distributors.” [08:00] — Jeff Cioletti “How do you make a really good beer that’s not just a novelty that people will just try once?” [19:00] – John Holl
