The story of how this episode came to be has its origins from one of our recent shows. A few weeks back, we tried the Hops Water from Lagunitas Brewing. During our discussion, we picked up on a variety of flavors and there was one flavor note that reminded Keith of this shows featured beverage.…
Over the years, we have been very fortunate to have been given several beverages for us to try by our friends and people who share our affinity for discovering something new. These beverages have covered just about every type of liquid refreshment that is out there. From sodas to beers to spirits and almost everything…
One of the best things that can happen for us at About Beverages is when a plan comes together, especially when that plan wasn’t even actually planned. That is what happened this week as we suddenly realized we had stumbled into a theme. And not just any theme, a timely and relevant theme at that.…
It is always a good thing to try something new. Take a step outside the comfort zone. Expand one’s horizons. Explore uncharted territory. For this particular show we will be doing none of those things. We will be re-visiting one of our favorite breweries and trying a style of beer we are very familiar with…

As you probably already have surmised from the name of our website, YouTube channel, etc, we are About Beverages of all kinds. While it is true that we do fall victim to certain category redundancies (most specifically beer), we do challenge ourselves to continually seek out new and exciting liquid consumables. This week we turn…
Sometimes in life there are certain challenges that are unavoidable. Often you see them coming, or at least you know they are out there and will soon be knocking on your door. Many times you are blindsided by them and left to rely on your own survival instincts as well as the love and support…
Welcome to part two of this Cabernet theme week here at About Beverages. What a wonderful meaningful coincidence it was to find that we had a new Cabernet to try for our previous podcast and that it had a connection to another beverage that we wanted to share with our viewers, listeners and friends. This…
While they don’t happen every week, when we can do back-to-back podcasts that are connected by a particular theme it is something we enjoy. The thread tying these two items together may not be instantly obvious, but when you look a little closer it becomes very apparent. In our weekly discussion about the items to…
