If you have followed or listened to us for any length of time, then you know that About Beverages would probably not exist if it weren’t for coffee. We know that many of you out there probably feel like you don’t exist until that first cup in the morning, and while we tend to agree,…
It is no secret that we love beer. We have gone through periods of trying so many consecutively that we have jokingly considered renaming ourselves “About Beer-verages.” Our fondness grows exponentially when we get to try things from local breweries that may not be “new” to everyone but are new to us. It will come…
Over the years, we have been able to try beers from all over the country and all over the world. In the US, we have had beers brewed from Maine to California and several points in between. While there are still several states left to check off on this list, with this week’s episode that…
When it comes to spirits, there are several that we have come to be familiar with during our years of tasting at About Beverages. However, there are still several styles or sub-styles that we want to try and this week we finally are getting to one we have talked about for years, Mezcal. The agave…
When breweries get together to create a new beer, most of the time the end result is something delicious. And limited.

We have tried numerous types of beverages over the years and one of them that has consistently underachieved for our palates has been vodka. We have tried at least eight (maybe more), and while there has been…
We have been fortunate in our 11-plus years at About Beverages to have met more great people than we can count. So many of you have shared parts of your life and passion for beverages with us that we are humbled as we contemplate this concept. It is an ongoing endeavor that we continue to…
We are just going to let you know right up front that this week’s episode features a beverage that actually is no longer available (for now). It’s not that we bought the item and recorded the podcast long ago, it’s just that the offerings from this brewery usually sell out quickly. Another factor that brings…
It can be a risky endeavor to mess with a good thing. Just ask the folks from Coca Cola who in the mid-80’s decided their delicious soda needed a refresh. Of course there are also times when one can take an existing good thing and make it better. It probably comes as no surprise that…
