One episode just wasn’t enough to cram in all the flavor-blasted products on Binny’s shelves. So we’re back with part two, focusing on spirits.

IPAs can be a bit polarizing. Some people love them, some people hate them. Some people miss the classic bitter IPAs, while some people love searching out the latest hazy IPA with some new, experimental hop combo they’ve never had before. The good news is there’s still plenty of IPA out there for all tastes.

The temperatures are plummeting after a relatively warm start to the winter season. There’s no better time to whip up some hot cocktails to get you through the grey winter days and long, dark winter nights.

Pat and Greg are notoriously...difficult...about the current state of IPAs. So Roger tailor made today's selection of IPAs to hopefully satisfy them. Will it work?

India Pale Ale – an old-school English beer style that American craft brewers made their own. West Coast, New England, Imperial, Black, White and Rye - the variations on this popular style are nearly endless.

A crisp, tart, and refreshing twist on the classic daiquiri, famously enjoyed by writer Ernest Hemingway. Unlike the traditional version, this cocktail swaps out sugar for maraschino liqueur, balancing the bright acidity of fresh lime and grapefruit juice with a hint of sweetness. A timeless favorite that delivers a bold yet smooth citrusy kick, perfect for warm weather sipping.
