Braise Culinary School Introduction To Craft Spirits 10/30

Maybe its the fact its the day before Halloween, or two days before the launch of Movember, but the next Braise Culinary School's weekly Tuesday topic class as 'Introduction to Craft Spirits' seems just too perfect.

Braise is a unique local food business comprising three parts: an RSA (restaurant supported agriculture), restaurant, and a culinary school all focusing on locally farmed food. Until I get a chance to do a proper review, (I have eaten there a few times, volunteered for an event, and attended one class so far) check out their web site for more information.

At their culinary school they have classes Tuesdays and Thursdays. Thursdays are basic skills classes taught by chef and owner Dave Swanson himself while Tuesday classes are in lecture format featuring local experts on topics such as wine, coffee, beer, honey, cheese, and more. This time around Jason Neu from Great Lakes Distillery explains what makes Great Lakes a "craft" distillery, and what the advantages and disadvantages are of being a small distiller.


This class includes a 30 minute reception featuring a complimentary cocktail and appetizer. You'll also sample five different spirits during the class. Cost: $30 Time: 6:00pm Reception/6:30pm Class Class Length: 1.5 hours To register, go here. All classes are held at Braise Culinary School, located at Braise Restaurant, 1101 S. 2nd Street, Milwaukee, WI.

On the eves of the holiday of 'spirits' and the month of men's health, what better way to man up than to learn about a great local business that just happens to make the ingredients for man-friendly drinks?

City Lights Cans Water. Why its better than bottles.

You may have seen the new trend for packaged water with brands like Liquid Death. Now a local brewery, City Lights Brewery , is getting in on the act. Except its not just an act, its not some fad, there are reasons to can vs. bottle water. Good reasons.

Make Men's Health Month About You

The month of November is (one of the) Men's Health Month(s), popularized by the Movember movement. (June is another recognized annual event but since it is November now, November it is.) It's a great foundation, it has been successful and is highly rated for its impact. But, one thing I see with the movement is that while they speak about men's health to the participants, I feel the participants themselves promote it outwardly rather than inward, at them. I personally fell victim to that selfsame issue, but no longer. As of this November, I am taking care of myself.
