On our upcoming episode of the Everyday Drinkers podcast we’re going to cover different liqueurs from herbal liquor to cream, berry, coffee and other crazy flavors. Schnapps has fallen into my scope of “liqueurs” to cover for the next podcast. This includes peach flavors and other crazy sweet substances to give you a buzz… but [...]
This episode of our drinking podcast covers a variety of winter ales, mainly from our fine friend Doug. While a few of us pick a winter ale to talk about, Doug tries to collect them all. You’ll see one of us loves Samuel Smith while another may think it’s just too skunky to call a [...]
Sambuca fans around the world rejoice, Averna is awakening a new anise-flavored liqueur with a sweetly refreshing beverage which will rock your senses. What the heck is anise, aniseed and what is this star anise I talk about? Aniseed is a flowering plant containing liquorice-like components, specifically black liquorice. If you hate black liquorice you’ll [...]
The sweet smell of Partida Reposado is the best way to start a night of tequila sipping. Not as powerful as a Partida Añejo Tequila (though close) and not as subtle as a Partida Blanco Tequila, this reposado stands in a class of its own. It falls somewhere between a great mixing tequila (don’t confuse [...]
Averna is famous for their Amaro liqueur but they’ve decided to expand into a few new avenues to add to their library of liquors such as that of Amaro.

Some are bright pink, others are white with bold lettering or have cool images of chickens, hens, dogs, lizards and other sorts of cool artwork. It seems, there is a good chance, you’re actually looking at the back of the wine bottle! [...]
Looking for a unique brown ale from a good brewery? Well, you may have to live around my area of New Hampshire to really find it but you may pick it up in the New England area or outside of it if you get around here. Woodstock Inn Brewery houses some great beers, Pig’s Ear [...]
If you want to taste a smooth tequila you’ll want to checkout the 100% agave Blanco (“silver”) tequila known as Partida Blanco. Much like it’s sexy sister, Añejo Tequila, in style and grace, this silver beverage doesn’t have the same punch. Where the añejo is potent in flavor and taste the silver is subtle yet [...]
After recording the Everyday Drinkers Podcast Episode 4: Merlot, I had to take a recommendation from Doug on his opinion of the “Zin” from Cellar No. 8. I’m new to the Zinfandel grape, usually sticking to Merlot, Cabernet and recently Pinot Noir. Just a background note for those not familiar with the red vs. white [...]
Partida Añejo Tequila is a smooth yet strong aged tequila with the scent of cherry and almonds. It’s as spicy as the foods from the country it was born, Mexico. As expected, this is a 100% agave so you know you’re getting the real deal and not a mixto. The bottle has a sense of [...]
