Hair of the dog
BrewDog — the Scottish craft beer company responsible for a chunk of my outgoings each month — has laid its paws on US soil for the first time, opening DogTap Columbus. In autumn 2018, the company plans to open a beer-themed hotel, also in Ohio, with Punk IPA on tap in all rooms.

Confessions of a caffeine addict: What I've learned about Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee
Cultivated mostly above 3,000ft, it's one of the world's most expensive gourmet coffees.

Made with Arabica beans, it's known for a mild, smooth taste and lack of bitterness.

The coffee is only certified Blue Mountain if it's within the Coffee Industry Board of Jamaica's map.

Outside the Blue Mountain zone, coffee must legally be called High or Low Mountain.

Around 80% of Blue Mountain Coffee is exported to Japan.
