This week we are trying the F&B (Features & Benefits) IPA from Stone Brewing. This beer is marketed as an “active lifestyle” beer and as such is lower in carbs, alcohol, and as…

Give It A Shot – Mountain Dew Major Melon Flavor

It wasn’t something that we planned intentionally, but we now realize that we have started off the New Year in a “dry” fashion with our beverage selections. After a holiday season that usually features more of everything, there are many people who choose to have an alcohol-free or “Dry” January. While we respect that choice,…

Give It A Shot – Liquid Death Sparkling and Non-Sparkling Mountain Water

Almost 7 years ago, we recorded a podcast on sparkling water where we compared three varieties side by side.

Give It A Shot – Trader Joe’s Meikakuna Japanese Whiskey

This year has presented all of us with several “firsts.” No matter which ones you are thinking of and your perspective, there have been challenges to overcome.
