About The Glass
The Glass is an occasional newsletter sharing field notes from my work as a drinks writer.
You'll get personal essays, behind-the-scenes glimpses of book research and article assignments, and stories I couldn't tell anywhere else – from distillery visits to late-night bars, perry orchards to whisky warehouses, and the wider drinks themes that emerge along the way.
There's no regular schedule. I write when I have something worth saying. In practice this settles out around once, sometimes twice a month.
Subscribe and you'll get full access to the archives and the ability to comment and join the conversation.
More importantly, you're helping me build an audience I can speak to directly, without editorial gatekeepers or algorithms deciding what gets seen. That matters.
