About The Glass

The Glass is an occasional boozeletter from award winning drinks writer Anthony Gladman.

I only publish when I have something to say. I make no promises, nor do I send out filler just to maintain a schedule. I think that’s a win-win for us both. Judging by past performance you can expect to hear from me about once a month.
I write for people who want to know a bit more about what’s in their glass, or who are wondering what to put in there next. I like to think I’m saving you from dusty bottles, one drink at a time.
