Here’s a loud clink of the glass to Paul Clarke, the Seattle-based cocktail writer (frequently for Imbibe) who publishes the well known blog Cocktail Chronicles. In a post called Link Love, he talks up several drink blogs, including this one and the LUPEC-Boston blog. I, for one, am excited to be part of such a vibrant nationwide community of cocktailians and barflies. Woohoo!

One need not live or work in Boston to appreciate drinkboston. As a fairly new bartender who cares about both the craft and the profession, it is definitely one of my “go to” drink blogs. Especially interesting are the interviews with area bartenders and each of their answers to the questions asked of all of them.
