Our drinks scholars possibly already know about Robert Hess' drinkboy.com where serious alcohologists discuss, debate, and offer up all sorts of info. This message came in the other day and is probably of interest to many here...

The Museum of the American Cocktail™

"...A new project I have been working on in collaboration with Dale DeGroff, America's Foremost Mixologist, as well as several other dedicated Cocktailians across the country.

"The Museum of the American Cocktail is a non-profit museum and tourist attraction that celebrates and preserves a rich aspect of American culture; the American cocktail.

"We are working towards establishing a permanent exhibition space situated in New Orleans, which will discover, collect, and preserve materials pertaining to the history of the American Cocktail and its influence on the world’s beverage industry and will exhibit those materials in both permanent and traveling exhibitions.

"Over the coming months we will be working up a full website on which we will provide background, information, "virtual exhibits", regularly updated news, as well as a gift shop for purchasing museum related books and other products.

"Currently, our website provides access to the existing Press Releases and News Updated, and you can get to that here:

http://www.MuseumOfTheAmericanCocktail.org

You can find a web-based informational brocure about the museum here:

And you can find a membership form, which also contains information about membership here:

Also, the DrinkBoy discussion forum

will play the role of being the "official" discussion forum for the museum, it's membership, and anybody interested in information about the museum." Robert Hess
