Those of you who follow us on either Twitter or Untappd probably have already heard me (Andrew) sing the praises of this beer. For those of you who don’t use those services and to do a little more in-depth analysis we decided to bring the Odell Brewing Runoff Red IPA to the tasting table.…
At the tasting table today we will be feeling some “Good Vibrations” thanks to the Unity Vibration Ginger Kombucha American Wild Ale. We previously had the Kombucha Pale Ale which is double hopped and contained juniper. While we liked it overall, the hops and juniper got lost in the kombucha shuffle. We’re…
Iron Maiden, specifically Bruce Dickinson, in conjunction with Robinsons Brewery created a beer. Need we say more? We should? Ok. The beer simply called Trooper is in honor of their song by the same name off the Piece of Mind Album. The song is inspired by the brave 600 British…

Today we have the payoff to last weeks show. Thanks to an article in Imbibe Magazine, that Keith has diligently saved for several years, we have a tasting of shrubs. What are shrubs? Known also as drinking vinegars they are simply a blend of vinegar, fruit and sugar. Most recipes call…
It may sound ridiculous, but I couldn’t be happier then being able to post a full show this week! At the tasting table today we have a trio sparkling natural mineral waters from Trader Joe’s, Gerolsteiner and S. Pellegrino. This may not sound like the most amazing of taste tests when it comes…
