Recently, Andrew and I had a discussion on how far the concept of beer in a can has come in the last 8 to 10 years. Most of your finer craft beers found on store shelves at that time came in brown bottles, with a few craft brewers dabbling with putting their beers in cans.…
We are always grateful for contributions to our show. We appreciate more than we can say those of you who watch our videos, listen to our podcast, and join us for our livestream. There are many other ways to contribute to our show, and one of our favorites is when someone gives us something that…
This episode of About Beverages is going to take on a decidedly local flavor. The word “flavor” is doing double duty as it is referring not only to being local, but that we are also highly anticipating the actual flavor of the beverage. We are excited to try a collaboration beer from two of the…
As we move further into the first month of this brand new decade, we hope all of you are enjoying a calmer pace after the holiday season. Because of the hectic nature of the last few months, we had to slow things down a bit, but we are close to getting things back to normal.…

December and the holiday season are upon us! There is a crisp coldness in the air, festive lights and decorations are everywhere, and those people who are lucky enough all over the world are traveling to be with the ones they love. It isn’t as though the holidays have snuck up on us, but it…
It has been said that you can never have too much of a good thing. We have always considered whiskey to be a good thing and so with that in mind we are continuing the whiskey theme this week. This episode finds us moving from bourbon to an aged rye whiskey from Vermont. The beverage…

While it seems like that wasn’t all that long ago (because it wasn’t), we must now quickly pivot away from that holiday and set our sights on Christmas and New Years. The days and nights are getting colder, even here in…
