It isn’t often that I have the opportunity to write these posts while traveling, but as I begin to let the words flow that will ultimately create this particular post, I realize that this is now the second entry created outside of my home state. The last one (for Gentle Reminder IPA) was written while…
Life is full of surprises, both good and bad. You never know what kind might be around the corner, so one must always be ready. The beverage world is no different. When one of us encounters a beverage related surprise that happens to be a collaboration beer you can bet we are programmed to receive.…
Recently, Tap & Bottle celebrated the 6th Anniversary of their first location, located on 6th Avenue in downtown Tucson. Before going any further, we want to congratulate them on this achievement!
