When asked what he was drinking for the holidays during a 1968 Town and Country interview, Newman listed St. Pauli Girl by name and saying, "if it's good enough to be my favorite for the rest of the year, it's good enough for special occasions." St. Pauli Girl had only been introduced to the U.S. market in 1965, so he'd become smitten with it pretty quickly.

Watching a celebrated chocolatier launch a line of chocolates in 2004, then an Echo Park shop in 2013, and a second 5,000-square-foot outpost in Glendale in 2022 has been a literal treat for longtime Angelenos.

Cue the rise of gluten-free diets and products in the 1990s and early aughts, with many a terrible gluten-free muffin, cupcake and bowl of pasta consumed along the way.

I've had the pleasure of visiting Japan twice in the recent past, and it's quickly become one of my favorite places in the world. Everyone is organized and polite, there are bidets everywhere, the food is outstanding and, maybe best of all, Japanese people love to drink. From Tokyo's neon-lit karaoke rooms and elegant cocktail bars to the buzzing izakayas of Osaka, the drinking culture of Japan is woven into daily life, seasonal festivals and centuries-old traditions.

Germany's beer reputation is well established due to brands like Beck's and Warsteiner, alongside its iconic Oktoberfest celebration. The Reinheitsgebot law emphasizes purity, allowing only water, hops, and barley, though has evolved to include more grains.

Bubbles and foam are essential for enhancing the drinking experience, particularly by carrying aroma, which significantly influences perceived flavor for beer enthusiasts.
