He also added that the lineup not only highlights the premium ingredients but also takes the guest experience to another level, along with their partnership with Talea Beer Co., which is also a brand born in New York City.

About Talea

TALEA (pronounced tah-lay-uh) is a New York-borne woman- and veteran-owned brewery founded in 2019 by Tara Hankinson and LeAnn Darland. ⁤⁤They focus on creating flavorful and enjoyable alcoholic drinks in an inclusive atmosphere.

Tara and LeAnn met each another after they left their corporate jobs in tech and media and decided to join the beer industry. Collaboratively working everyday, the two avid homebrewers with MBA degrees, found that their passions aligned and are sharing the same vision: to create a unique company that will expand the craft be*r market.

After years of frequently visiting breweries and beer aisles, the two entrepreneurs found that no breweries were speaking with customers like them. Even though the craft industry was booming, this male-dominated industry lacks an approachable and inclusive perspective and voice and it was filled with confusing drink packaging and dark industrial taprooms.

Finding these out, Tara and LeAnn immediately knew there was an opportunity to talk to a broader audience, and they’ve brought TALEA to the world, which The New York Times hailed as creating “easy drinking be*rs, perhaps to replace that glass of rosé”. TALEA’s drinks strikes a balance between high-quality and low-bitterness with fruit-forward flavors. Their be*rs are exactly what you can share with your hard-seltzer and wine-drinking friends, or you can open with the most selective connoisseur.

A Look At Shake Shack’s Previous Black Truffle Menu

This is the second time Shake Shack has introduced the Black Truffle Menu to the world, the first time was in 2021, where they only had two items under their belt.

Back on October 2021, Shake Shack combined their burger expertise and fine dining experience to bring real black truffle into their menu. And alas, the Black Truffle Burger and Parmesan Garlic Fries with Black Truffle Sauce were born.

Noticeably, there are major changes to this year’s Black Truffle Menu, wherein Shake Shack released three new items alongside their main offering, the Black Truffle Burger.

From The Club

I’ve been craving for a burger for days already and Shake Shack‘s returning Black Truffle Menu may just be the best sign that I should give in. I haven’t tried their Black Truffle Burger before, so this is a great time for me to order one, along with their new Black Truffle Parmesan Fries. I’m not into alcoholic drinks, so I think I may skip the TALEA drink, but I’ll surely recommend it to my friends.
