This podcast features a subject whose time has come. In fact it is long overdue, with many people in this country and around the world saying “it’s about time” or “what took you so long?”. We are talking, of course, about the latest release from Stone Brewing, the I’m Peach Double IPA. The people at…
For several years now, for better or for worse, it has not been uncommon to see a beer augmented in some way by the addition of something besides one of the four necessary ingredients to make a beer. Some of these include, but are not limited to, several varieties of fruit (or the juice from…
We realize that since we have resumed podcasting, we have taken it kind of easy on you and on ourselves. We have done lots of beer, a few wines, and while we did do an Irish Whiskey, it was aged in IPA barrels. Delicious yes, but not your typical whiskey. For this podcast, we returned…
Depending on the time and situation, shopping is one of those tasks that can be either tedious or enjoyable. Frustrating or revelatory. Drudgery or seemingly over before it has begun. For us, beverage shopping is a time for fun and thirst quenching discovery. The topic of this podcast was discovered during a recent trip to…
We all have those things in our lives that we call our “favorites.” Whether it is a place, a book, a memory, a meal, etc, the possibilities are endless. If you are a regular follower of our show (if you are not you should be) then you know that one of our favorite things is…
Did you miss us? At least we didn’t stay away for two years this time. Due to reasons beyond our control, we had to skip a week, but we are back and the first beverage this week we have to share with you will be anything but typical. Or will it? It may not be…
When your brother and co-founder of AboutBeverages.com tells you he is going down to one of Tucson’s best local breweries your natural reaction is to ask him to pick up a four pack for you (that you will reimburse him for of course-this stuff ain’t cheap). This scenario happened to us very recently with Andrew…
What is better than one great brewery creating a new beer for its loyal fans? Obviously, it’s when two great breweries get together and create a new beer for their loyal fans. We know this sounds crazy, but what if a third great brewery decided they wanted in on this action? Can it be even…
Sometimes a beverage comes along that immediately grabs your attention. It could be the latest release from your favorite brewery, a new twist on an old favorite from a trusted distillery, or maybe it is something as simple as the eye catching packaging. This podcast features a wine that made us take immediate notice for…
Irish whiskey and an IPA. At first glance these two may not have much in common. A combination not often thought of, at least not as often as Irish whiskey, Bailey’s, and Guinness, but I digress. Look closer, however, and you will possibly see a match made in heaven, or at least in Ireland. For…
