We decided to kick of Seasonal Odell Brewing week in the simplest of ways. We start with a beer just called Red Ale. No crazy name or insane branding just two words to let you know what’s in the bottle, but if you know Odell beers like we do they are being modest.…
It is with much excitement that we bring the much sought after Hopslam from Bell’s Brewing to the tasting table. A winter seasonal that just began finding its way to store shelves within the last few weeks. Most double IPAs aren’t bashful when it comes to hops, but this one lets you know…
Normally a Hefeweizen is not the style of beer we gravitate toward this time of year. Not that it’s not a good one, but usually we are more on the lookout for the darker things that find there way to the shelves. All of that changes when a loyal listener to the show…
One of the great things about trying so many different beverages not only for our site, but also for our own enjoyment, is that you build up a “sensory database” if you will. You begin to pinpoint more precisely what exactly you are experiencing with each beverage. Case in point is the tea…

More recently they did it again with another pumpkin beer, the Smashed Pumpkin, which is part of the Pugsley’s…
Welcome to Episode 26 of the AboutBeverages.com podcast! After much deliberation we decided to start the year on a sour note and with a full length show to boot. Yes once again we are going to let our love for this style shine through as we taste a trifecta of sour ales from…
Yet another beer finds its way to the tasting table that was picked up during Keith’s travels to San Francisco. All of the beers have been things we can’t find here in Arizona which adds not only a sense of excitement, but also sadness. It’s always great to be able to try new…
