Our friend Ben at the hugely popular Absinthe Review Network has recently opened a great new forum. Check it out and share your thoughts with like minded people. www.absinthe-review.net

Today, March 5th, marks the second anniversary of absinthe being legalized in the US (although Lucid Absinthe didn’t actually hit the market for a few months afterward). So, Happy Anniversary  to absintheurs all over the US.

While browsing through my local video store I came across an interesting little movie. It’s called “Blood and Chocolate”. This is a werewolf movie very atmospherically filmed in Romania. What is of special interest is that the clan of werewolves also makes absinthe. There are scenes of their factory where you can see their absinthe still. There are several absinthe drinking scenes and I have come to find out that all of the  absinthe spoons, absinthe glasses,  and absinthe fountains were supplied by leading German absinthe distributor Alandia. This isn’t the best werewolf movie I’ve seen, but it’s worth watching just for the absinthe.
