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.…
