Welcome to The Daily Pour

The Daily Pour

We’ve got big news to share: Bottle Raiders has officially rebranded as The Daily Pour.

This change marks an exciting new chapter for our community and reflects how quickly the beverage world is evolving. Whiskey and other spirits remain at the heart of what we do, but The Daily Pour expands our coverage into growing categories like non-alcoholic options and cannabis-based drinks, giving you a complete guide to today’s modern drinking culture.

What’s Changing

A fresh new look: Our website, app and social channels now feature a colorful, modern design by Parisian designer Anne-Sophie Noirhomme.

More expert voices: Expect to hear from new contributors in the non-alc and cannabis beverage spaces, including Charlotte Mizrahi of Leyline Labs, Laura Silverman of Zero Proof Nation, Tawny Lara, Vibe Imbibe, Melissa Vonder Haar and Estelle Bossy — each adding their expertise to the conversation.

A new name for our whisk(e)y community: Our whiskey-focused Instagram page, formerly known as Bottle Raiders, is now The Whisky Pour, home to more than 115,000 Instagram followers and counting.

Why the Change?

As founder Dan Abrams puts it: “Today’s consumers don’t limit themselves to just one lane. Whether it’s a bottle of whiskey, a zero-proof aperitif, or a hemp-based beverage, people are exploring broadly. With The Daily Pour, we’re giving them a trusted, expert-backed resource that cuts across categories and helps them drink better and smarter.”

The numbers back it up: NielsenIQ reports that 93% of non-alcoholic beverage buyers also purchase traditional beer, wine or spirits — showing that most of us are mixing it up and most non-alc consumers also imbibe in alcohol.

What’s Next

We’re going to keep going strong with the spirits coverage and reviews our readers know and love while building community and shaping the future of drinks culture.

  • Our  rebranded app, which allows users to scan bottles, read reviews and leave their own thoughts, is live on the Apple Store and Google Play.
  • We’ve hosted 15 major tasting events across the country.
  • Stay tuned for the results of the Zero Proof Choice Awards later this month.
  • And on Sept. 27, we’re excited to host Drinks With Benefits, New York City’s first zero-proof festival, with more than 60 sponsors from the drinks and restaurant world.

Same Mission, Wider Scope

Our mission hasn’t changed — we’re here to help you discover the best bottles, cocktails, experiences and more. We’re still the only outlet aggregating reviews from trusted critics across the internet and amalgamating those reviews into one easily understood score.

What’s new is the scope: The Daily Pour is now your single trusted source for spirits, zero-proof options and cannabis-based beverages.

You’ll see the new name across all our channels going forward. Explore the redesigned site at thedailypour.com, download our newly refreshed app and keep following along as we grow into the next era of drinking culture together.
