"This one’s perfect if your New Year’s resolution really was to
drink better. It’s a series of 52 essays that go on a tour of
basically all parts of the beverage-alcohol world, from a Scotch
guide in week 1 to an introduction to Cremant d’Alsace sparkling
wine in week 52. It covers topics ranging from chile pepper-spiked
beers to baijiu, China’s favorite distilled spirit. The book
concludes with a “Cocktailing Adventurously” section featuring
recipes from bars around the world . . . "—Playboy

boozy culture. With an air tank full of wit, humor, and guile, he
takes us to new worlds of drink culture rarely seen by the less
courageous and casual imbiber. A reader’s only regret is to not be
there in person to pound down an enticing pint or mysterious
cocktail along with Jeff in these exotic locales, though surely
they will be left to dream their own next delicious drink
adventure." — Darek Bell, founder and owner, Corsair Distillery and
author of Alt Whiskeys and Fire Water.

"Jeff Cioletti's The Year of Drinking Adventurously manages the
near impossible; it is both comprehensive yet approachable,
detailed yet entertaining. Cioletti has a real gift for finding
narrative and making the material – which in the hands of lesser
writers would turn into a plodding survey of obscure arcana – read
like a page-turner.” – Jeff Alworth, author of The Beer Bible and
Cider Made Simple
"A brilliantly original book that opens our eyes and challenges our
palates to exciting new flavour experiences in what feels like a
conversation with a buddy, written to entertain, inform and delight
the curious imbiber." – Davin de Kergommeaux, author of Canadian
Whisky: The Portable Expert.

wit, and insight. With 52 weeks of adventure, let's get drinking!"
