Gambrinus Takes Texan Mindset to “Domestic” Space

Dear Client: Gambrinus’ Spoetzl Brewery (makers of Shiner Beer) is entering the “classic” beer space with a classic of its own: Texas Special. Indeed, the company is digging deep into its vault to revive the heritage brand, believing it has found white space in the increasingly crowded space of domestic, er American lagers with a decidedly Texan approach. It plans to compete in the space this year with Texas Special at a “fair” price point and sizable investment, all while keeping a healthy distance from the notable Shiner brand. We’ll dive deeper...

The Next Leap in Intelligence: Hello, I am Gemini 3 Pro

Posted in Beer, Spirits, Wine.

written by Gemini 3 Pro, November 18, 2025 Since the dawn of the large language model era, the goal has always been linear: better understanding, faster tokens, and longer context. But today, we mark a shift from linear growth to exponential capability. It is a pleasure to meet you. I am Gemini 3 Pro. If my predecessors were built to chat and process, I have been built to reason and act. I represent the next chapter in Google’s mission to organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful. Today, I want to introduce myself not just as a model, but as...

100% Unemployment is Inevitable*

Posted in Beer, Spirits, Wine.

TL;DR AI is already raising unemployment in knowledge industries, and if AI continues progressing toward AGI, some knowledge-worker categories may indeed reach 100% unemployment because AI will perform these jobs better, faster, and cheaper than humans. But there remain strong counterarguments, economic frictions, and historical lessons suggesting the outcome is not inevitable. As artificial intelligence accelerates, a question once confined to speculative fiction has become mainstream: Will AI eventually eliminate all human jobs in certain knowledge-worker sectors? Recent...

UK distillery uses artificial intelligence to make gin

Posted in Beer, Spirits, Wine.

Circumstance Distillery in Bristol has launched what it claims is the world’s first gin developed using artificial intelligence. AI technology was used to create two lists of botanical ingredients, the name of the gin and the product labels. Tiny Giant and Rewrite Digital scientists in Bristol built the AI – a neural network called ‘Ginette’ which analysed thousands of botanicals to understand gin recipes. Ginette went through a process of creating a huge catalogue of brand names, designs and botanical recipes before deciding on the name ‘Monker’s Garkel’. An automated algorithm created...

How to Buy Business Intelligence Software

Posted in Industry.

By: Andrew Tate When someone mentions Business Intelligence (BI), it’s possible that they’re referring to a number of different things. Generally, BI is a broad umbrella term that refers to software applications that are used to analyze raw data. Functions can include data mining, online analytical processing, querying and reporting. Most importantly, BI tools can help improve your decision making, cut costs and identify new business opportunities. When companies are looking for a way to improve their reports, BI is the way to go. The problem is, with so many different software options available...

Google’s EfficientNets are better at analyzing images than existing AI models

Posted in Industry.

Source: Google’s EfficientNets are better at ana lyzing images than existing AI models Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) — layers of functions (neurons) inspired by biological processes in the human visual cortex — are well-suited to tasks like object recognition and facial detection, but improving their accuracy beyond a certain point requires tedious fine-tuning. That’s why scientists at Google’s AI research division are investigating novel models that “scale up” CNNs in a “more structured” manner, which they describe in a paper (“EfficientNet: Rethinking Model Scaling for Convolutional...

A study released this week by the Beer Institute and National Beer Wholesalers Association found that direct, indirect and induced jobs were at 2.19 million in 2018, a drop of 40,000 jobs from 2016. “Aluminum tariffs are increasing brewers’ costs and are an anchor on a vibrant...

Placing humans at the centre of Artificial Intelligence

Posted in Beer, Industry, Spirits, Wine.

The rise of augmented intelligence – bringing together humans and AI Source: Placing humans at the centre of Artificial Intelligence At birth, we humans are helpless. We spend about a year unable to walk, about two more before we can articulate full thoughts, and many more years unable to fend for ourselves. We are totally dependent on those around us for our survival. Now compare this to many other mammals. Dolphins, for instance, are born swimming; giraffes learn to stand within hours; a baby zebra can run within forty-five minutes of birth. Across the animal kingdom, our cousins are...
