We decided to kick of Seasonal Odell Brewing week in the simplest of ways. We start with a beer just called Red Ale. No crazy name or insane branding just two words to let you know what’s in the bottle, but if you know Odell beers like we do they are being modest.…
Just a little reminder of what will be going on at AboutBeverages.com for the week of February 10th – February 16th 2013. We’ve got two beers this week, both seasonal and both from Odell Brewing. It all starts on Tuesday with a “Give It A Shot” featuring their Red Ale Seasonal. This…
It is with much excitement that we bring the much sought after Hopslam from Bell’s Brewing to the tasting table. A winter seasonal that just began finding its way to store shelves within the last few weeks. Most double IPAs aren’t bashful when it comes to hops, but this one lets you know…

Over the last two years, Scotch has opened our eyes to a world of whisky love that had not extended past bourbon. In particular for me (Andrew) Scotch is one of my knew favorite spirits. So it is with great excitement that today at the tasting table we have the Laphroaig Triple Wood…
Rogue Brewing Voodoo Doughnut Chocolate, Peanut Butter and Banana Ale. I’m going to let that one sink in for a moment. Separately those three things are often mentioned when describing a beer and can be quite desirable depending on the style. A chocolate stout or nut brown or even a classic wheat…
Just a little reminder of what will be going on at AboutBeverages.com for the week of January 20th – January 26th 2013. Last we week we had a pair of IPAs. This week the only connection between the two beverages we will be tasting is that they both involve malt. Even with…
