Ernest Hemingway allegedly once said, “Write drunk, edit sober.” And not that that’s a credo we live by here at C-VILLE Weekly (honest!), but we do heed Mr. Hemingway’s advice from time to time. Like this week, for instance, for our first-ever Booze Issue. Follow Vitae Spirits’ Ian Glomski as he distills one of his popular spirits, meet three bartenders changing the local drinking scene and hear why you should be mad about bitters (in the best way). Plus, fill out our March Madness-style booze bracket, and keep up online as eight C-VILLE staffers sip through 16 of the city’s best cocktails to determine the champion. We’ll start working on next week’s paper in the meantime…as soon as the buzz wears off.
