Ahhhhhh Hawaii! The first sip of Avery’s Liliko’i Kepolo, with its sweet and tart flavor of ripe passion fruit is like a supersonic trip back to the Hawaiian Islands… If I close my eyes, I can picture myself poolside at the Hyatt Regency Kauai. The waitress walks up […]
On the Scottish island of Islay, the legend is that the local waters taste and smell of peat. In San Diego, the air may have more than just legend in it as beer seems to teem from every pore of the area. But there’s a burgeoning new scene […]
AK: So, G-LO, what’s your take on the mystical world? Ghosts? Magic? The Underworld? Donald Trump’s hair? You believe in that stuff? G-LO: That all depends upon how much I’ve had to drink. AK: I hear that. Otherworldly things beyond what we know here in the good old terra firma are […]

Hola, mi Amigos! Today is Cinco de Mayo. Up until five minutes ago, I was convinced that Cinco de Mayo was the Mexican equivalent of the Fourth of July, i.e. Mexican Independence Day, but after a quick Google search, I learned that I was wrong. Mexican Independence Day […]
I’ve met a few brand loyalists in my day. They say: I only drink Brand X. I like it, so why try anything else? That ain’t me. I like variety. Sure, I have preferences… I like hoppy beers. I like tart stuff too. A rich and roasty porter […]
The whisky that you see in the above photo (it’s made by William Grant & Sons, the owners of Glenfiddich, The Balvenie, Hendrick’s Gin, and so much more) made it’s US debut in early March at a bar called Reserve 101 Whiskey Bar and Cocktail Lounge which is […]
