Drinks platform Mennie Drinks relaunches
Date posted on DIARY directory: Tuesday 29th July 2025
Alex Mennie has announced the relaunch of drinks platform Mennie Drinks. Mennie Drinks is a slow publishing imprint that champions content you can spill something on, dog-ear, and lend to a friend who won’t give it back. It offers two verticals:
- Bar Tab – Short, literary vignettes set in real bars. Each piece blends atmosphere, character, and conversation into a lightly fictionalised snapshot of drinking culture.
- Glenfiction – A fiction project that reimagines whisky tasting notes as short stories. No flavour wheels, no esoteric adjectives, just atmospheric narrative.
Alongside essays, fiction and subscriber-only downloads, Mennie Drinks will also explore storytelling through physical chapbooks, photographs shot on old film cameras, and an enduring commitment to not keeping up with the algorithm. Mennie Drinks is now live on Instagram and Substack, with the first Bar Tab chapbook scheduled for release in late 2025.
