HAD 244 - Alsace Wine
Have A Drink - February 26, 2024 20:17 - 1 hour ★★★★★ - 12 ratingsAlsace 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, but I’m sure we’ll learn something along the way, a...
HAD 243 - Bottled Water
Have A Drink - February 05, 2024 20:16 - 2 hours ★★★★★ - 12 ratingsWhat’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 into that and why this took off like it did. So get r...
HAD 242 - Bacardi
Have A Drink - December 20, 2023 20:48 - 1 hour ★★★★★ - 12 ratingsPodfading 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 staple of liquor shelves, I’m willing to bet you don’...
HAD 241 - Egg Drinks
Have A Drink - October 13, 2023 14:42 - 1 hour ★★★★★ - 12 ratingsI 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 how you can incorporate eggs into your drinks. So g...
HAD 240 - Bock to the Future II: Judgement Day
Have A Drink - September 13, 2023 15:57 - 1 hour ★★★★★ - 12 ratingsWe have been feeling nostalgic lately and revisiting a lot of old topics lately, or at least realizing how much was left out before.

HAD 239 - Drunk People
Have A Drink - September 07, 2023 19:28 - 1 hour ★★★★★ - 12 ratingsToday 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 and deserve to be told. So come along as we tell you s...
HAD 238 - Brewing Water
Have A Drink - August 25, 2023 14:36 - 1 hour ★★★★★ - 12 ratingsSo 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. So we’ll see just how water can change what you drin...
HAD 236 - Sake Series 2: Nigori Boogaloo
Have A Drink - July 31, 2023 14:40 - 1 hour ★★★★★ - 12 ratingsWe return today to sake, to those clear crisp beverages . . . or are we gonna muddy the waters. Well, cloudy them anyway.

HAD 235 - Carlsberg
Have A Drink - June 23, 2023 13:13 - 1 hour ★★★★★ - 12 ratingsToday 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 they are today, and certainly nothing about the capt...

Have A Drink - June 05, 2023 15:26 - 2 hours ★★★★★ - 12 ratingsIt’s time for our new series for the year, and it’s the year of Sake!

Today we are going very far into the way-back machine, but we are also discussing...
HAD 232 - Tiki Culture (Tiki drinks 2: Electric Boogaloo)
Have A Drink - April 25, 2023 18:57 - 1 hour ★★★★★ - 12 ratingsBuckle up gang, it’s time for Tiki Drinks 2: Electric Boogaloo. We got deeper into the culture of tiki drinks this time.

HAD 231 - Tiki Liquors and Cocktails
Have A Drink - April 14, 2023 15:51 - 2 hours ★★★★★ - 12 ratingsToday’s episode has a dress code. Only board shorts and Hawaiian shirts allowed.

HAD 228 - Mama Juana
Have A Drink - December 05, 2022 02:22 - 1 hour ★★★★★ - 12 ratingsWhat 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 as we figure this out, and if we can find any, have...
HAD 227 - Scotch Series-Islay
Have A Drink - November 13, 2022 21:22 - 1 hour ★★★★★ - 12 ratingsToday 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 tiny islands off the coast of Scotland, where God’s c...

HAD 224 - Weird Beer Critters
Have A Drink - October 09, 2022 17:13 - 1 hour ★★★★★ - 12 ratingsWe 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.

Have A Drink - August 07, 2022 19:35 - 1 hour ★★★★★ - 12 ratings“Just some good old podcasters . . . Never meanin’ no harm . . .” Okay, we got that out of our system, we are talking about moonshine today.

HAD 219 - Australian Sparkling Ale
Have A Drink - July 26, 2022 23:12 - 2 hours ★★★★★ - 12 ratingsIt turns out Foster’s isn’t Australian for beer. It’s actually Japanese for “we own this beer now.” And that’s fine because Australia has its own distinct beer it can call it’s own, the Australian Sparkling Ale. We’ll discuss that today, and maybe an Australian brewery if we can find the time. S...
HAD 218 - Pepsi Challenge
Have A Drink - July 12, 2022 17:53 - 39 minutes ★★★★★ - 12 ratingsAdvertising is a powerful tool to get people to consume your goods.

So, join us as we caffeinate ...

HAD 215 - Diet Sodas
Have A Drink - May 29, 2022 16:15 - 2 hours ★★★★★ - 12 ratingsI think someone is trying to tell me something. When we were picking topics I somehow ended up with Diet Sodas. . . Do I sound fat? If you can tell us at Feedback@haveadrink . . . nevermind. We’re talking about Diet sodas today, mostly what makes them diet, which are artificial sweeteners and ho...
HAD 214 - Rosé (with Post Show)
Have A Drink - May 20, 2022 17:57 - 2 hours ★★★★★ - 12 ratingsWhat comes to mind when you think of Rosé? Well stop thinking that, because it’s reductive and probably a bit sexist. Unless you were thinking it was just red and white wine mixed, which is not really correct but doesn’t have anything to do with sexism. Rosé is a type of wine with a long history...
