TBEX AFRICA, HARARE, ZIMBABWE #tbexzim

In light of recent events, many people are wondering about the status of TBEX Zimbabwe.

We are postponing the event at the request of our friends at Zimbabwe Tourism. They told us they had a second round of government elections scheduled for next July, which would conflict with the TBEX event. We agreed with them that– for safety reasons, more than anything else– July of 2018 would not be a good time for us to have an event there.

The safety of our attendees comes above all other concerns. There is absolutely no way we would produce an event if we thought it would put any TBEX attendee in danger. As for questions about whether the conference will be postponed until 2019, we cannot make a final decision on this matter until after the current situation in Zimbabwe is fully resolved. Only then will we know if TBEX in Zimbabwe will be safe for all attendees. Please join us in sending thoughts and prayers for their safety and for the people of Zimbabwe. We promise to update you as soon as we have further information.

Listoke offers tourists a gin-making experience in Drogheda, Ireland

By Mike Shubic

Gin and spirit lovers will enjoy the Listoke gin school experience on the north side of Drogheda, Ireland, the first and only interactive gin making experience in the country.

Irish whisky is well know throughout the world, but Irish gin is beginning to make a name for itself as well. At Listoke Distillery, they make hand-crafted gin in small batches on the grounds of the historic Listoke Estate, which is in the heart of Boyne Valley (Drogheda) in Ireland’s Ancient East.

I’ve been to a number of distilleries, but I had never heard of, or participated in, a spirit making class. When I learned that Listoke Distillery had a gin-making school, I was intrigued. I’ve never been a gin drinker, but the idea of making my own bottle over a four-hour class was enticing.

The Listoke estate is really quite remarkable. The setting feels like a place where aristocrats would have spent time strolling the gardens many years ago. Today, the facility houses a coffee shop, the distillery, the owners quarters, and the gin-making school. Read full article HERE. And view the video below!
