Thanksgiving and the holiday season call for special sips at parties and dinners. But not everyone drinks alcohol, and it's a little sad to think of drinking water or apple juice with your turkey. Nev...
We picked up this beer from Great Divide Brewing Company last weekend because we were intrigued by the idea of using rice as one of the primary grains during brewing. Ok, well first we picked it up be...
"I'll have mine straight up - and green." Times have changed and the choices keep growing. With all the newly available organic spirits on the market, the eco-conscious drinker now has plenty of s...
Can you tell whether this photo is of a porter or a stout? We can't! These are both dark beers with a similar range of malty, roasted, and bittersweet flavors. They also both have a reputation for bei...
After mentioning this milk stout from Left Hand Brewing Company in last week's round-up of favorite fall beers, we couldn't resist picking up a few bottles to have right away. So creamy and sweet you'...
Whether you're coming in from raking leaves or picking apples at your local farm, it's nice to have a good beer in your fridge to look forward to! This time of year, we want beers that are complex, pl...
Orange juice was always part of breakfast when we were kids (drink it before you brush your teeth, always), but as we've gotten older, we've stopped buying it. With more than 100 calories in 8 ouncesā...
It started with an innocent impulse buy several years ago in a cheese shop in San Francisco. A square cardboard box with a lady in an orange sari on the cover and the intriguing promise of unique, tr...
The day has finally arrived! Our homemade beer has been brewed, fermented, and bottled. We've survived two weeks of anxious anticipation without a single bottle exploding. A few days ago, we put a c...
Many years ago I was invited to a friend's house for tea. His father is Indian, his mother is French, and my friend was born in England, so their house was this great multicultural mix of traditions....
Green tea is famous for its antioxidant properties and purported health benefits. For thousands of years it's been believed to cure everything from cancer to headaches. We like a good cup of hot, frag...
We've been guzzling apple cider by the gallon since it started appearing in markets a few weeks ago. Now that our by-the-glass consumption has slowed down somewhat, we're starting to think about other...
We've brewed the beer, let it ferment, and now we're finally ready to get it into bottles. We're so close to having homebrew we can almost taste it! And in fact, we did sneak a little taste - for pu...
Skunked beer is the bogey man of the beer world. New beer drinkers are told to never ever let refrigerated beer get warm - and definitely don't cool it again! - or suffer off-putting and skunky flavor...
Between the shifting daylight hours and a few intense work projects, we've been suffering a series of sleepless nights lately. When it's heading into the wee hours and we're wide awake, sometimes it h...
A week after brewing our first batch of beer, it was time to transfer it from the primary fermentation bucket into a clean carboy. We've never actually siphoned anything before, so this was quite an...
We've been meaning to show you our new favorite liqueur for quite a while. But as we sipped and sipped, the bottle level got lower and lower, and now we have hardly any left to show you! And that, I s...
One of the first heralds of fall seems to be the arrival of Octoberfest seasonal beers! These lagers tend to have lots of warm malt flavors to help us transition into cooler weather and shorter days. ...
Or is it that we love to hate them? In either case, in honor of all the students heading back to campus this week, we thought we'd pay homage to the pop-top beers and cheap tall boys that we called ou...
We've been talking a great deal about iced coffee lately, but it is after all a place where many of us spend extra cash, buying cold drinks at the coffee shop when it's actually easier and best of ...
Whether we're headed across campus for class or into the office for work, chances are that most of us have a travel mug of something caffeinated in our hands. Chances are even better that your beverag...
Name: Janice Location: Vancouver, British Columbia How are you staying cool? Refreshing cocktails! I came up with this recipe after we had a heat wave here in Victoria. Hot afternoons were stretching...
A few of you recommended this beer in our round-up of favorite summer beers a few weeks back. With its promise of honey and orange, Honey Moon Summer Ale definitely sounded like the perfect companion ...
We're looking for ways to keep cool this month as we ride out the end-of-summer heat wave. A big pitcher of iced coffee will definitely need to be in our fridge at all times, we think! Here's a new-to...
Mention Irish beer on this side of the pond and most of us will automatically think of dark stouts like Guinness. But the country has a long tradition with another, very different kind of beer as well...
