Today on the show we have a beer that is available year round, but we feel fits nicely into our theme of beers for fall. Marin Brewing out of Larkspur California brings to the table today their Point Reyes Porter. This brewery is fairly new to the Southwest, but is making a strong…
Just a little reminder of what will be going on at AboutBeverages.com for the week of October 28th – November 3rd 2012. We have two more beers this week that may not be fall seasonals, but we feel are seasonally appropriate. It all begins on Tuesday with a “Give It A Shot” featuring…

Few things give us as much excitement as trying a new gin. Juniper week just wouldn’t be right without it. Adding to that joy today is the fact that we are trying a style of gin that to some extent had been forgotten and is now making a comeback. Old Tom Gin…
Sahti is one of the oldest and possibly least heard of beer styles to be continuously brewed. This amber ale can be traced back to the 11th century with roots in Finland. The distinct flavor of this style comes from it being filtered through juniper branches. This somewhat forgotten style is being…
