Book Description

Although we pride ourselves as being Asia’s Premier Digital Magazine, there are moments like these when you zoom in and feel a sense of pride for your country. With Independence Day around the corner, these emotions run high. And so this month’s edition focusses on all things Indian. Since there aren’t enough pages to talk about every little glorious thing, we stuck to what we are most excited about right now - Homegrown Gins. There is so much excitement in this segment with many new launches, I hope you enjoy discovering these gems. We also delved into a bit of Indian history with alcohol and we barely scratched the surface. There is just so much to talk about India’s contribution to the spirit world. From history to the present day, I spoke to a founder of an upcoming gin brand. His story is as fascinating as it is awe- inspiring. Young Indians are going places. This and so much more in this month’s issue. Hope you enjoy reading. As always, stay home, stay safe. Until next time, Cheers!

The first thing that comes to my mind when I sit down to write this, is THANK YOU! Alcobuzz is Asia’s leading digital magazine on alco-beverages. It’s owned and led by a woman. And in this issue we see so many wonderful women who are leading the way. It is now a community in it’s true sense and we managed to do that in such a short span of time It is wonderful, to say the least. So many amazing women from all walks of life coming forward to show solidarity and support. This is quite unprecedented. So here we are with an ALL WOMEN power-packed issue of HENTAILS SPECIAL EDITION. Yes, every single article is about women taking charge and leading the way. It is the most inspiring edition of Alcobuzz till date. Right from Ada Coleman who is regarded as one of the first women behind a professional bar, to all the aspiring young bartenders of today, women have crossed hurdles and prejudices. Every aspect of Alco-beverage and nightlife, be it bar owners, brands, marketing heads, sommeliers, bartenders, editors, women have demonstrated their prowess in what was traditionally a boys only club. This is just the first step. Our community is growing and if you are someone who is interested to be a part of this, please do drop us a line. As always, I hope you enjoy this rather special edition.

Book Description

Another month of fighting, surviving and kicking ass. I know this lockdown and pandemic hasn’t been easy, but for those of us sitting at home, safe & sound, its worth a million blessings. Like I said last month, bringing out an edition at a time like this seems preposterous, but it is the will that is mightier than the negativity that surrounds us. Moving forward with our agenda to promote fine drinking and create awareness about responsible drinking, this issue covers it all. Since the future seems hazy at this point in time, we decided why not look back, at simpler times. When we could meet our friends at bars, when our beloved spirits bore fruit after years of hard labour and when weekends were still looked forward to. With ‘None for the Road’, our responsible drinking initiative, we have ensured that you don’t binge drink and you can spot early signs of dependency and problematic behaviour. Hope you enjoy reading this issue. As always, stay home, stay safe. We are all in this together. Cheers!

Book Description

There is finally a ray of sunshine after months of uncertainty. Businesses and bars are slowly opening up and the community is getting back on its feet. This doesn’t mean the pandemic has ended, we just need to find our ‘New Normal’ and proceed with caution. This optimism is reflected in this edition of the magazine as well. Our longest issue till date. There is just so much that we want to talk about this month - from peat whiskies to cigars and the whole culture around it, to our newly introduced concept of Hentails. Talking of Hentails, that has been the single most exciting thing that happened recently at Alcobuzz Started as an idea to create a community of women who love to drink, Hentails has seen so much love and support in just a month since its inception. You will meet the first batch of Hentails cheerleaders and supporters in this edition. We also spoke to Manish Bhatia this month who is creating great relatable content around drinking on his youtube channel. Under ‘Local Tipple’ we revisit the gems from Bordi and their beautiful range of sparkling alcoholic beverages made with fresh fruits of the region. I hope you enjoy this edition. As always, stay safe stay happy.

Book Description

A day to celebrate women is never enough! Women are like good wine (or scotch, if you’d prefer), nuanced, layered and definitely each to her own. All we can hope is to understand a few notes and appreciate what we have got. Thats what we have tried to do in this Women’s Special Edition to mark International Women’s Day on 8th March 2020. As cliched as it may sound, it is never easy to talk about women. And I say so being one myself. So this time we have let some men do the talking. We asked some of the top bartenders to dedicate their favourite cocktails to women who have inspired them. Heartening to see, how their mothers feature on the top. Moving on to travel, we explore some of the best places across Asia where women can travel, safely, either solo or with friends. This month we also have special articles on wine and off the track travel stories to Myanmar by our guest editors, Gargi and Daisy respectively. March is a fascinating month. It marks the beginning of summer and everything is in full bloom, including your spirits. So make the most of the outdoors and enjoy the beautiful weather with the drinks of your choice. Hope you enjoy this edition. Cheers!

When an aspiring street artist by the name of Grafity watches the tenements outside his home being razed, he finds an unlikely canvas at the one wall still left standing in the debris. Over the next weeks, he begins creating a mural on the wall, one that chronicles the lives of his friends: a local low-level fixer named Jay who harbours dreams of being a rapper. A brilliant and awkward boy named Chasma who writes love letters between shifts waiting tables at a local Chinese restaurant. And Saira, an aspiring actress with ambitions so fierce that they threaten to consume her and all those around her. As the mural progresses, the story gives us glimpses into these incandescent lives, their hopes and dreams both inspired and impeded by the impossible city that they live in.

Book Description

The most colourful month is here, and so is our most colourful edition! In these times, it is so refreshing to see the rainbow truly representing EQUALITY and ACCEPTANCE. Although this should have been a given, we must not forget that it was only recently (September 2018 to be precise) that the Indian Govt declared that people from LGBTQ+ community had constitutional rights, including liberties protected by the Constitution of India. Well, better late than never. We still have a long way to go. This issue is out in June to mark the Stonewall riots in New York, US wherein a series of spontaneous, violent demonstrations by members of the gay community in response to a police raid that began in the early morning hours of June 28, 1969. That incident is said to be the first milestone in the fight for equality. In this issue we have spoken to a few members of the LGBTQ+ community to understand what’s it like to work in the alco-bev industry. We have also looked at some of the brands being supportive with unique colourful bottling. Hope you enjoy reading this issue. As always, stay home, stay safe. Until next time, Cheers!

Book Description

The Month of Love Love starts with gratitude. A big thank you for the resounding success of the first edition of the magazine in January. We knew we had hit upon something special when we read all the positive feedback you sent us. Thank you! After traveling and living across the world, there is something about Goa that draws me. It has all the things I love - the people, the food and most of all the local spirits. Hence it’s apt that we do a Goa special this month. The stories of Goa in this edition feel almost like a personal essay of sorts as they are filled with my favourite secret (and not so secret) spots. There is so much more we could talk about with regards to Goa, but sadly we had to pick a select few. Notable absentees are Paul John & Goa Brewing Co, which we will talk about in detail in our future editions. Apart from Goa, we have two major events coming up. First one is Speyside Whisky Awards, one of the oldest whisky festivals in the world, is coming to India for the first time. The other is Sisterhood Soiree that celebrates women in nightlife industry. Alcobuzz is proud to be onboard as the magazine partner for both these events. I hope you enjoy this edition of the magazine. Let me know what else you’d like to see in the future editions.

This issue almost did not happen !! With a global pandemic at our doorsteps and we safely locked behind the doors, it felt almost preposterous to talk about anything else at this hour. Our team mulled over various things like overconsumption, mental heath and our role as a publication before we ventured out with this issue. Our agenda since the very beginning was singular. To promote fine drinking and create awareness about responsible drinking. There is no better time than now to do that. So here you have it - our Quarantine Special edition. This has been our most positive edition yet. We hope it inspires you, encourages you to be productive and look at the brighter side of life. There’s a lot to do in this edition. From building your home bar to making your home a fun place with your partner, it has all the tips and nudges. And while you are at it, make some healthy cocktails as well and remember to stay hydrated. Hope you enjoy reading this issue. Stay home, stay positive. We are all in this together. Cheers!
