Port Brewing is no stranger to our site. Their beer has only let us down one time, Midnight Expression, so it is with great excitement that we bring their Anniversary Ale to the tasting table today. What style is this seasonal beer you might ask? If their website is to be believed,…
Just a little reminder of what will be going on at AboutBeverages.com for the week of September 24th – September 30th 2012. Only one show this week and it goes live on Wednesday with a “Give It A Shot” featuring the Port Brewing Anniversary Ale. This strong pale ale with copious amounts of…

We have two very different beverages featured this week, yet they are still connected by one particular ingredient, the agave plant. It all starts Tuesday with a “Give It A Shot”…
