I think this episode is out of season, it’s not the Fall, it’s not even Spring yet, why are we drinking Cider? Maybe we are just in the mood for something crisp today, or maybe we just want to rediscover this old style that has been around for

HAD 244 - Alsace Wine

Feb 26th, 2024 1h 41m

Alsace is a region in France, or is it Germany? It’s on the border of the two so I assume there has never been any dispute about that. Is this a French wine with German influences, or a German wine disguised as French? I doubt we’ll answer that

HAD 243 - Bottled Water

Feb 5th, 2024 2h 3m

What’s this . . Vodka? Gin? Zima? No, it’s time to talk about water. I don’t know how I feel about drinking this. Do you know what fish do in this? Well, at least it’s in bottles, that’s bound to be better, right? Well probably not. We’ll get i

HAD 242 - Bacardi

Dec 20th, 2023 1h 57m

Podfading is defined as to stop podcasting all of a sudden without notice. So sorry about that, but we are back with what I believe Webster defines as “a real humdinger.” We are beginning the story of Bacardi. Do you think you know about this s

HAD 241 - Egg Drinks

Oct 13th, 2023 1h 11m

I think we have forgotten what the show is about. It’s called Have a Drink, not “Have some Eggs . . .” although that does sound tasty. Today we are talking about egg drinks, and no we aren’t drinking raw eggs. Instead we are going to talk about

HAD 240 - Bock to the Future II: Judgement Day

Sep 13th, 2023 1h 28m

We have been feeling nostalgic lately and revisiting a lot of old topics lately, or at least realizing how much was left out before. So today we say, “I’ll be bock” and revisit that delicious spring beer. Sure, it’s not the season, but Bock sea

HAD 239 - Drunk People

Sep 7th, 2023 1h 25m

Today we are talking about drinking. Yes I know, we usually do, but we are going to talk about people who really put their livers in it. We don’t want to glorify over drinking on the show, but honestly, some of these stories are truly insane an

HAD 238 - Brewing Water

Aug 25th, 2023 1h 33m

So barley, malt, and hops are all the important parts of beer, and they get all the attention, but equally important is water. Yes, it’s two parts hydrogen, one part oxygen, but it’s more complex than that, especially when it comes to brewing.

HAD 236 - Sake Series 2: Nigori Boogaloo

Jul 31st, 2023 1h 42m

We return today to sake, to those clear crisp beverages . . . or are we gonna muddy the waters. Well, cloudy them anyway. What makes them so cloudy and how does it change the flavor of sake. We’ll get into that and more as we have a drink on th

HAD 235 - Carlsberg

Jun 23rd, 2023 1h 30m

Today we go deep underground to talk about . . . Oh Carlsberg. . . That makes more sense than an episode about the Carlsbad Caverns. Quick, someone start a new script. We need to talk about this Danish brewery and how they grew to the goliath

HAD 234 - Japanese Whisky

Jun 16th, 2023 1h 49m

We are going to talk about some of the best Scotch-style whiskeys in the world, Japanese whiskeys. Have we done some of this before, sure, but we are better now and can ask the hard-hitting questions. Like, does Japan have the peat for this? Ap

HAD 233 - Sake Series - Early History and Junmai

Jun 5th, 2023 2h 49m

It’s time for our new series for the year, and it’s the year of Sake! Yes, we discussed it before, but we are going in deep now and much like Sake brewing, it’s going to take a couple of tries before it’s all done. Today we are going very far i

HAD 232 - Tiki Culture (Tiki drinks 2: Electric Boogaloo)

Apr 25th, 2023 1h 51m

Buckle up gang, it’s time for Tiki Drinks 2: Electric Boogaloo. We got deeper into the culture of tiki drinks this time. How those tiki bars started popping up, and how the drink lasted long enough to see the trend leave and come back. So, make

HAD 231 - Tiki Liquors and Cocktails

Apr 14th, 2023 2h 8m

Today’s episode has a dress code. Only board shorts and Hawaiian shirts allowed. We are talking about Tiki Drinks today, so it feels like you should get in the mood. Will this episode only be about kitsch, or is there more to these strong sweet

HAD 229 - Dom Perignon

Dec 19th, 2022 1h 35m

Let’s get fancy tonight, hire a string quartet, and grab a canape from the cocktail servers. We are talking about Dom Pérignon, that fanciest of Champagnes. What is it that makes this bubbly wine so expensive? Well, put on a coat and tails, and

HAD 228 - Mama Juana

Dec 5th, 2022 1h 40m

What is Mama Juana . . . no seriously, what is it? My first thought was it was going to be some sort of maple syrup, or maybe some other name for marajuana. But that makes it a good topic since it gives us a chance to learn about it. So join us

HAD 227 - Scotch Series-Islay

Nov 13th, 2022 1h 27m

Today we are opening with a quote from an expert on today's topic. “All my life I’ve avoided Europe, and it’s multitudes of terribleness, but it turns out, much to my surprise, there is actually one place in Europe that is worth seeing. These t

HAD 226 - Malort

Nov 1st, 2022 1h 11m

It’s… Malort. Why, Chicago? Why? Disclaimer: there are f-bombs and things went off the rails in this whole episode. We’re blaming the Malort. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

HAD 225 - Caffeine in Beverages

Oct 18th, 2022 1h 39m

In today’s episode, we’re all jacked up on Mountain Dew! It’s all about caffeine today, and hopefully we can focus and stop vibrating to talk about this episode. We will talk about what it goes into, and how it affects us. So don’t grab a Four

HAD 224 - Weird Beer Critters

Oct 9th, 2022 1h 34m

We are talking about beer critters today, and while that might make us sound like country Yokels, it’s hard to find another way to describe the collection of Yeasts and bacterias that will fill up today’s show. So yeah, turns out these bumpkins

HAD 223 - Oktoberfest Zinzinnati 2022

HAD 222 - Mendoza Wine

Sep 5th, 2022 1h 13m

We are back in Argentina for another wine episode. This time we focus on . . . Mendoza. What do these grapes have that others in the region don’t? Probably the terroir, it’s usually the terroir. So get ready for your wine mouth because we are g

HAD 221 - Scotch Series 4-Blended Scotch

Aug 22nd, 2022 1h 8m

We make our way back to the land of Scotland, which region will we discuss today . . . all of them, I guess. We are talking about blending Scotch today. Does that mean we are talking about inferior products today? No, but we’ll get into that to

HAD 220 - Moonshine

Aug 7th, 2022 1h 51m

“Just some good old podcasters . . . Never meanin’ no harm . . .” Okay, we got that out of our system, we are talking about moonshine today. The history might be a little sketchy, but if the Scotch and Bourbon episodes have taught us anything,
