WHYNATTE

Whynatte’s executive team took the Whynatte corporate jet to San Francisco this past weekend. Then we went to Santa Cruz, the birthplace of the Whynatte. I wanted to show the team where it all started.
Some of the things that have not changed in Santa Cruz since the last time I was [...]

On occasion, Andy likes to use the Whynatte preparation time to give a short speech. His speeches sometimes take the form of a firm lecture, while at others they are more like a free flowing poem. Andy’s speeches span a diverse range of disciplines, from the shortcomings of postcolonial politics, to more lighthearted [...]

Hypothetically, you find yourself in the Alaskan wilderness, with an elderly man who keeps calling himself your father. You’re on a desolate beach, miles from the nearest road, with nothing but your Whynatte shirt, a hand saw, and a half dozen dried monkey pelts.
Outlook = Bleak.
At this point, most people [...]

Is there something stronger than blood, more powerful than the implacable bonds of family?
Mixologist (and part time Emu rancher) Chris Walbert thinks so.

In fact he’s so confident in the unifying powers of the Whynatte that after mixing up a couple for himself, his brother David, and one Matthew Strizzle, Chris accepts Matthew as a brother [...]

ATLANTA, Oct. 20 - Growing up as the son of a strudel salesman, Andy Wessels always knew that he wanted to have a fast paced career in the food service industry. Recalls Andy, “My father would go door to door selling his strudel from a cart; Forty cents for a small, eighty cents for [...]

These days, even the Gypsies that hang out behind the Chevron on North Avenue are wearing Prada loafers and $4,000 custom tailored suits. No kids, it’s not enough just to look good, you’ve got to feel good as well.
Meet Matt. He’s what you might call a modern day Renaissance Man. Wielding a pen as deftly [...]

Well son, they come from Russia, and they’re made in fancy colored unicorn factories like the one in this photo…

Whynatte pick up a soft hoodie from the Whynatte store?

Unlike most other cocktail companies that shun social responsibility, and encourage the slaughter of endangered species, Whynatte likes to take a stand on important issues. Whynatte wants to be known as the socially responsible way of getting plastered.
Making a difference is easy, but sometimes it takes sacrifice. For instance, I used to [...]

How do you know when you’ve made it?
Is it an article in Rolling Stone Magazine? Maybe, but we’ve already been there, and done that (Exhibit A).
Is it having both gills, and lungs, for which to breath in air? Perhaps, but we’ve already got that one worked out as well (Exhibit B).
What about having a different [...]

If you’re anything like myself, you’ve got bulging pecs and a pretty solid working knowledge of Uruguayan agriculture. Horn nuts, sheath berries; There is an entire universe of Uruguayan fruits and vegetables that you’re probably unaware of. I could gerrymander on about Uruguay all night, but the point that I’m trying to make [...]

Andy was randomly approached the other day in the mall, and asked about the rumors that have been circulating through the high profile latte world. Specifically, about how Andy and I no longer make our own lattes, how we now hire other people to drink our Whynattes, and how we’ve hired cheap third world labor [...]

Is this guy not the swiss army knife of humans, or what? Is there anything that he can’t do?
One minute, he’s drinking a Whynatte in a hot air balloon. Next minute he’s drinking a Whynatte in the master bedroom of the Taj Mahal. He speaks fourteen different dialects of urdu, [...]

We’ve come a long way, to this, the 1000th photo to be posted on Whynatte.com.
When we first started this website, we did so with nothing more than a latte and a dream. It never occured to us that we would one day lay claim to most visited website on the internet, or [...]

I’ve become pretty used to my friend Dave (far left) binging and purging, but recently he was getting into it for a relatively legimate reason; We were about to have dinner at the Brazilian steakhouse, Fogo de Chao.
Maybe you’ve been to Fogo de Chao, where the waiters come by and carve off unlimited meat onto [...]
