Collaborations are a frequent occurrence in the craft beer world, and with good reason. Most of the time when two or more breweries get together to brew up a beer, the end result is deliciousness. With the beverage we have for you this week, we have a brewery and a bottle shop putting their talents…
During the last several months, there have been numerous challenges that have presented themselves to humankind. From new strains of viruses, to economic downturn, to centuries old hatred born of fear once again reminding us all we still have work to do, on the surface 2020 has not been one of the years we will…
This week’s episode represents a first for us at About Beverages. A little while back, we put up a poll on Twitter and asked for you to vote on which one of two beers you would like us to try for one of our shows. The options were Fvck Covid, a hazy pale ale and…

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…
We would like to start out by saying that we hope wherever you are, you and your loved ones are staying healthy and safe during these unprecedented times. We are continuing to do what we can to provide distraction and give you a beverage related safe haven to visit. Besides these stand alone podcasts, we…
Since we were in a hurry to get this out in time (barely), we are going to get right to the point and let you know that in this episode we are featuring the Enjoy By 4/20/20 from Stone Brewing Company. For several years, Stone has been brewing a line of IPA’s brewed especially not…
