A minor change and a big change on this blog!

Minor: This blog is now available as maltfascination.com! I’ve wanted to change the url for a while but I kept doubting whether to host the site myself or let WordPress do it. I opted for the last bit since it takes a bit of work out of my hands without much cost.

Big: A new page has been added today. A page with new releases in the worlds of whisky and beer. Malt products, so to say. I asked a few small and independent Dutch whisky and/or beer retailers to supply me with frequent updates on what they have in stock and I will publish it here.

I have contacted De Whiskykoning in Den Bosch, Uw Top Slijter Zonneveld in Maassluis, Drinks & Gifts in Krommenie, Zeewijck in IJmuiden, DH17 in Bergen op Zoom and The Old Pipe in St. Oedenrode. Those are six whisky retailers to which I owe most of my collection.  Of course, this page will only be successful if I get timely updates and full information, so I will be nagging at their doors a lot the coming (hopefully) years.

For now, there are only some updates by Jolanda (Drinks & Gifts) and Rob (De Whiskykoning) but I have been promised more lists soon.

I chose to do this with the above retailers since they are all independently run shops, with no affiliations to massive companies or big chain stores. I have visited these shops and like the people. I might add some others I know and like in the coming weeks, depending on how much content is supplied.

Also, apart from new releases I’ll post discounts and special prices and such when it’s worthy of mentioning. See the page for the first one!
