Thousands of people from 83 countries have now visited and viewed my Bitters Hub site, created in 2017. The latest to join the list is from someone living in the country of Oman - in the southeastern Arabian Peninsula in West Asia. Oman's coastline faces the Arabian Sea to the southeast and the Gulf of Oman on the northeast. In the last two months, people from 15 countries have viewed the site, checking out the Introduction page and A-Z Bitters listing page, reading the many interviews I conducted with Bitters brand owners over the first two years from 2017-2019, and various stories I wrote and posted.

Bitters Hub is a specialized online content platform, focused on cocktail bitters and mixology, curated by expert Kyle Branche. It functions as a digital resource for information, education, and potentially profiling in the bitters industry. It deals with bitters, a concentrated alcoholic flavoring used in cocktails to balance flavors and enhance taste profiles. It functions as a niche digital media platform or expert hub serving as a source for learning about different types of bitters, their history, and their application in drinks.

Those 83 countries include Austria, Czech Republic, Greece, Malaysia, Mexico, Venezuela, France, Netherlands, Columbia, Cayman Islands, Brazil, Philippines, Jamaica, Hong Kong SAR China, Finland, Japan, India, Singapore, Spain, Bolivia, Costa Rica, Germany, United Kingdom, New Zealand, Australia, Ireland, China, Indonesia, Poland, Switzerland, Sweden, French Polynesia, Haiti, Israel, Tunisia, Argentina, Russia, Thailand, Nigeria, South Korea, Myanmar (Burma), Turkey, Italy, Trinidad & Tobago, Serbia, Vietnam, Kenya, Taiwan, Portugal, Ukraine, Norway, Bangladesh, Denmark, Pakistan, Slovenia, Belgium, Lithuania, Hungary, South Africa, Chile, Romania, Brunei, Bulgaria, Saudi Arabia, Macedonia, Kosovo, Zimbabwe, Guatemala, Bahrain, Bermuda, St. Martin, Puerto Rico, Georgia, Ghana, Croatia, Albania, Djibouti, Luxembourg, Iraq, United Arab Emirates, Uzbekistan, Oman, Canada and the United States, gaining further reach all the time.

NATURAL ALTERED STATES

20+ years ago I put out my third book - Liquid Masters - that included various sections of information vital to work behind the bar. One of those pieces was broken down into categories for better understanding from research into Andrew Chevallier's book The Encyclopedia of Medicinal Plants.

From Sharon Letts - My series Daily Dose continues for both Vegas & Tahoe Cannabis Magazine(s), profiling mixologist and bitters expert, Kyle Branche​, founder of Bitters Hub on WordPress.

Sharon and I go back 18 years when she was working on producing and pitching content that I had requested and received from The Department of The Interior in Washington D.C. from the National Registry of Historic Places just before they closed their office and went fully online only. This was to become what could have been a long series on the Historic Taverns of the United States. I'm the only one who has the information on this content because it's not extractable from their website. You have to know the content by names in order to locate it, some 300 listings. I still have the originals the lady in the NRHP office sent me 20 years ago after her and I had spoke on the phone. She said I was the only person that ever requested such information about the taverns.

Anyway, it's nice to catch up with Sharon after all these years gone by, as she lives up in NorCal now, and an idea with what I've been doing over the last several years caught her interest for a story, as she's a writer for the Vegas & Tahoe Cannabis Magazine. Cheers !
