My idea for “How Can They Intend to Heal” came in the summer of 2009. By this time blogs were sprouting everywhere, especially in the hardcore community.

Bitter Reviews was going to be a website/blog that focused on writing cocktail bitters reviews. During the cocktail revival in the early 2010’s, dozens of blogs surfaced to write about bourbon, whisky, old distilleries.
