Beer, Cocktails & Beverages

Welcome! Here, we investigate the difference between ale and lager, porter and stout. We ask if microbrews really are better than mass market beers, review the best (and worst) beers and keep an eye on what's new. We also look at the world of home brew.

Try recipes for new cocktails as well as old ones. If you're in the mood for a martini, a margarita or just a quick shot, you'll find something here. We'll also look at the newest and best flavored vodka, rum, and gin, single malt Scotch and blended whiskey, and what to drink with which food.

But, it’s not just about the alcoholic stuff, "beverage" encompasses coffee, tea, juices and smoothies. Regardless of your preference for your drink in a pint jar, a mug, a cocktail glass, or a shot glass you'll find something to try.
