Mutineer Magazine: Fine Beverage...Redefined

The beginning for Rogue was in 1988 in Ashland Oregon on the beautiful Lithia Creek as a Brewpub that sat sixty people with the brewery located in the basement below. In less than a year the team realized another location was needed and moved the fledgling business to Newport where it still resides. Along with the award-winning American Amber Ale and Brutal Bitter, Rogue also produces a line of unique spirits. Here are four cocktail creations made with Rogue Spirits to inspire your New Years celebrations. Continue Reading »

J Vineyards sports an ambitiously schizophrenic line-up of fine beverages ranging from elegant bubbles to complex table wine to the delectable pear liqueur. The space-age green bottles are as inspired as the liquid refreshments that they contain, and upon entering the equally space-age tasting room at the winery in Sonoma County’s Healdsburg, it is clear that these people mean business.

*Mutineer Magazine does not condone tequila as being a cure for holiday depression, and recommends a subscription to Mutineer Magazine as a possible cure for holiday depression.

Here is the last of 5 flaming shot videos celebrating fire week here on MutineerMagazine.com. Speechless. Enjoy.

I’m certain we haven’t seen the last of these flaming shots. If you decide to try a flaming shot for yourself, you may end up in the jaws of death when your flaming shot turns on you, leaving you little time to act. Continue Reading »

This guy fails in his fire glory before he even has a chance to burn his face off when he spills the flaming alcohol on his hand and then begins to squeal and run around. Not much else you can say about this one…

Okay, if you haven’t figured it out from the last two blogs that flaming shots are a TERRIBLE IDEA.

If you take away three things from MutineerMagazine.com, let it be these three things:

1) 100 point scores are silly.
2) Don’t drink and drive.
3) Flaming shots are a terrible idea.

Don’t believe me? Check out this video of people who thought that lesson #3 was stupid.
