Review:
A fruity late-night cocktail to sip and contemplate. Drinking locally brewed beer made from locally grown malt and hops is a very sustainable way to drink. Due to their use of ice and ingredients sourced from much further afield, sadly, cocktails are not. However, while beer is a daily staple, cocktails are a special celebratory and luxurious treat. The quest to save the planet is surely worthy of celebration, although, to quote climate activist Greta Thunberg, "All the promises will be nothing but blah, blah, blah..."
