Nitrogenated! SURGE Pour! That’s what we’re dealing with during this review of Perrin Brewing Company’s (the pride of Comstock Park, Michigan!) Nitro Black. If you’ve ever had a Guinness or a Boddingtons, then you know what nitrogen does to a beer’s texture. And if you’ve had anything like […]
We’re headed back to San Antonio, Texas for a taste of an intriguing spirit from Maverick Whiskey Distillery. The spirit we’re trying is called Agave Blanco and it’s made from agave nectar. At this point you’re probably asking yourself, “Hey! That sounds like Tequila. Why don”t you just […]
