Going Dutch

Just in time for the Superbowl, Fresh & Easy introduces Dutch Republic 1581™ Beer, a traditional Dutch pilsner-style beer from Holland for under $6 per 6-pack!

The beer commemorates the year in which the Dutch Republic was founded (1581) and its light golden color features a rich, malty aroma, with a hint of sugar balanced with slightly bitter hops.  The taste is full-flavored, smooth and easy to drink with a crisp, clean finish.

Additionally, Dutch Republic 1581 Beer is made at an eco-friendly brewery in Holland that invests in innovative technology to reduce its energy use and impact on natural resources.

Fresh & Easy stores carry a wide selection of over 50 other types of domestic and imported beers. If you haven’t already visited one, you can read more about their wines on The Liquid Muse blog archives. In addition to fresh, high-quality prepared meals and produce, Fresh & Easy offers national brand products and household items, all at unbelievably low prices.

LAST OF THE GREAT COCKTAIL PIANISTS: An Interview with Irving Fields

Posted by: TheLiquidMuse

Tagged in: Untagged

Irving Fields is the author of hit songs like “Miami Beach Rhumba” and “Managua, Nicaragua.”  As the leader of the Irving Fields Trio, he’s cut dozens of albums, including 1959’s classic “Judeo-Latino” fusion album, Bagels And Bongos.  He’s played concerts everywhere from Carnegie Hall to Indian palaces.  But in New York City, Fields is a legend – the last of the great cocktail pianists who tickled the ivories in bars, nightclubs and hotels in Manhattan during the ‘40s and ‘50s.  At age 94, Irving is still at it, playing piano at Nino’s Tuscany on West 58th St. six nights a week. In this interview, he talks about his eight decades of playing in New York, from Prohibition to the heyday of the craft bar. Read interview here...

It’s obvious that drinking and driving can kill. But in Quentin Tarantino’s Grindhouse feature Death Proof, it’s not the drinking that kills. There’s more flowing liquor than rivulets of blood in this high-octane, high-proof party not-your-stereotypical-chick chick flick.

For those playing the home version of the Death Proof drinking game, here’s the line up:
