Give It A Shot – Pizza Port Brewing Surfari IPA

Over the years, we have tried several beverages that have had connections to the music industry. Without going into the archives at AboutBeverages.com we can list several right off of the top of our heads.

Give It A Shot – Modern Times Beer Protocosmos IPA

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.…

Give It A Shot – Chirality IPA from Pueblo Vida and Dragoon Brewing

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…

Give It A Shot – The Balvenie PortWood 21 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky

It has been said, probably only by us, that once you have done the same thing two years in a row, a tradition is born. The actual definition of the word “tradition” refers to activities going on longer than two years, but they all had to have their modest beginnings, which is where our tradition…

How can it possibly be that we are coming up on the end of another year? With the end of this year we close out the second decade of the 2000’s, which is even harder to comprehend. It is a bit of a reach, but it is accurate to say that with the beginning of…
