Drinking with Twitter
We've posted about foodie Twitterers and culinary elite Twitterers before, but some of my favorite local Twitterers focus on beverages. Perhaps it's because their tweets feel more actionable than most; Lush Wine & Spirits tweets regularly about what they have in stock, free wine and beer tastings in their store, and events they'll be attending. Goose Island posts about their tastings, dinners, and beer releases, while the streams for Flossmoor Brewery, Half Acre Beer, and Metropolitan Brewery document the goings-on of the breweries and the brewers. I learned about North Shore Distillery's new limited-edition chocolate and chile liquor, Mole Poblano, via tweet, and now I can't wait to taste it. On the non-alcholic front, while Intelligentsia is pretty new to Twitter, they're realizing its power--a tasting of single origin espresso announced via tweet drew so many people to the Monadnock store last week that they ran out of espresso well before the event was scheduled to end.
