BARS ARE BACK / CLASS IS BACK

Over the six months without bars we were also, by extension, without CLASS magazine. It’s been a rocky old road for all in our industry but hopefully the arrival of a copy of CLASS at your bar helps in some part to strengthen the feeling of our industry's restoration. We were determined to make our comeback as bars make theirs.
So what's in the Spring edition?
You probably know a little about our cover stars already. Our interview (actually there were at least three) and shoot with Joe and Daniel Schofield have been in the works for three years so it feels good to finally have them adorn our cover. It's inspiring, if not implausible, to see that against the long odds and inhospitable climate, hospitality life is emerging.

Elsewhere in this issue CLASS columnist Jake O'Brien Murphy comedically diarises his own reintegration into the workplace, while Edmund Weil gives us his ever-incisive analysis of the bar-brand relationship, which has been subject to fiscal climate change. Danny Murphy, meanwhile, has a little sharpener for our service skills, and we welcome two former Imbibe scribes into the fold. Laura Foster has tips on raising Cocktail GPs, while Millie Milliken uproots the dysfunctional relationship between the bar industry and government.

Oli Dodd of this very parish, ponders the legacy of lockdown cocktail making. Off the pandemic piste, we have the results of the Bartenders’ Brand Awards – our annual guide to tried-and-tested drinks products. Anistatia Miller and Jared Brown are reading the leaves of your next garden-to-glass drinks, while professor Charles Spence discusses the science of supertasters.

We have pieces on cognac (Lucy Britner), aperitifs (Amy Hopkins), the history of lemonade (Clinton Cawood) and the Dark ’n Stormy (Jane Ryan) which all combine to see this issue take a purposeful step back to our also once taken-for-granted modus operandi.
We close the book with Phil Bayly and Julio Bermejo's heartfelt tributes to the hospitality icon and embodiment of optimism, Tomas Estes.
