A few weeks back during one of our live streams we did something for the first time at About Beverages; one of us opened a birthday present! Andrew’s birthday is at the end of January and since Keith had not yet given him his gift, we thought it might be fun to open it on…
This week’s featured beverage has a connection to our theme from last week where we tried gluten free or gluten reduced beers. This week we are trying the F&B (Features & Benefits) IPA from Stone Brewing. This beer is marketed as an “active lifestyle” beer and as such is lower in carbs, alcohol, and as…
If you join us on Twitch.tv/AboutBeverages most Thursday evenings, you will find us engaged in lively discussions about all sorts of things. Beverages, of course, head the list, but we also talk about sports, games, pop culture and most other topics that are put on the table. While we may be the only two who…
It wasn’t something that we planned intentionally, but we now realize that we have started off the New Year in a “dry” fashion with our beverage selections. After a holiday season that usually features more of everything, there are many people who choose to have an alcohol-free or “Dry” January. While we respect that choice,…
Almost 7 years ago, we recorded a podcast on sparkling water where we compared three varieties side by side. Over the years, much to our surprise, it has become the most watched video on our YouTube channel. By far!

We are a few days late wishing you this, but Happy New Year! We have much hope for this year and look forward to sharing more beverage related fun with all of you in 2021. We are going to kick off the New Year with our third Annual Traditional Viewer Appreciation Show or ATVAS, for…
As this year draws to a close, we are filled with many emotions. This annual nostalgic time for reflection on the past and the creation of resolutions for the future is vastly different from other years. We have experienced unprecedented sadness on a variety of fronts, yet there have been moments of joy and triumph.…
This year has presented all of us with several “firsts.” No matter which ones you are thinking of and your perspective, there have been challenges to overcome. There have, however, been opportunities to grow as people, to come together and to love each other as we never have before. This is not always easy, but…
This week we will be trying the wine that we alluded to in last week’s post. Unlike the previous items that we have been given (Humboldt Distillery Vodkas and Gray Whale Gin), this beverage comes from a place from which we have prior tasting experience. For this episode we will be trying the Josh Cellars…
Since we are big fans of gin, we are always excited when we find something new to try. Recently, we reached out to the person who had previously given us two vodkas from Humboldt Distillery to thank her and to let us know if we could be of any help to her in the future.…
