Episodes
-
HAD 253 - Guinness
We’ve talked about Guinness before, in lots of ways, but never as its own subject. Let’s change that and see what there is to learn about them. I’m sure they have never been involved in anything illegal or unethical. What could we possibly talk about? At any rate we will still Have a Drink. We're...
-
HAD 252 - Mezcal
We were somewhere around Barstow, when the drunk began to take hold.Okay, so we are doing Mescal instead of some sort of drug, but we all know what Mexican spirits will do. So buckle up and join us on our journey as we take a shot at this episode, and Have a Drink. [Can’t stop here . . . this is...
-
HAD 251 - Shochu
Okay, I know we are redoing episodes, but can we do without the typos. It’s even in the title. Oh, it’s actually Shochu, not Shoju. So we are going to Japan for our spirits instead of Korea this time. We’ll figure out the difference between those, and whatever else we can find about this. Kampai...
-
HAD 250 - German Wheat Beer
Eins, Zwei, Weisen. Well maybe that isn’t how Germans count, but maybe it should be. We are talking about German Wheat Beers today. You shouldn’t be shocked that there is a long history of brewing this type of beer, but maybe we’ll find something that will surprise you. So get a nice refreshing...
-
HAD 249 - Blind Tasting - Top vs Bottom Shelf Liquors
Blind tasting of top shelf vs. bottom shelf alcohol of various types. Please excuse some of the audio issues. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
-
HAD 248 - Woodford Reserve
It’s our favorite time of the year, no not summer (God No!), it’s time for a bourbon episode. We will look at a distillery that we, somehow, never have before and talk about Woodford Reserve. This distillery has been working for over 2 centuries to make the water of life and holds a special place...
-
HAD 247 - Sangria
Are we trying to get day-drunk today? But we record these at night, can you even have a sangria when it’s not brunch? Well, today we look into that and see what this mixture has for us. So get some fruit and get ready to have some wine-mouth, as we Have a Drink. Hosted on Acast. See...
-
HAD 246 - Return of the (Non-Traditional) Sake
It’s time we return to Sake for one last go. At least until we find more things to talk about or decide to make a special edition episode where Brittany drinks first. We are going to try and make up for the fact our “Year of Sake” took a little more than a year to finish and give you a lot of…
more -
HAD 245 - Cider Revisit
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 centuries. Join us and we’ll see if a cider a day…
more -
HAD 244 - Alsace Wine
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, but I’m sure we’ll learn something along the way…
more -
HAD 243 - Bottled Water
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 into that and why this took off like it did. So get...
-
HAD 242 - Bacardi
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 staple of liquor shelves, I’m willing to bet you…
more -
HAD 241 - Egg Drinks
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 how you can incorporate eggs into your drinks. So…
more -
HAD 240 - Bock to the Future II: Judgement Day
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 season is more of a state of mind anyway. We’ll go over...
-
HAD 239 - Drunk People
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 and deserve to be told. So come along as we tell you…
more -
HAD 238 - Brewing Water
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. So we’ll see just how water can change what you…
more -
HAD 236 - Sake Series 2: Nigori Boogaloo
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 this episode, Sake 2: Nigori Boogaloo. Hosted on Acast....
-
HAD 235 - Carlsberg
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 they are today, and certainly nothing about the…
more -
HAD 234 - Japanese Whisky
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? Apparently so, but do they even use it? Join us as we…
more -
HAD 233 - Sake Series - Early History and Junmai
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 into the way-back machine, but we are also discussing...
-
HAD 232 - Tiki Culture (Tiki drinks 2: Electric Boogaloo)
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 sure you have your Hawaiian shirt from the last...
-
HAD 231 - Tiki Liquors and Cocktails
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 concoctions? Well, make sure you have your cocktail...
-
HAD 230 - Matt's Brewing
Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
-
HAD 229 - Dom Perignon
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 we’ll get to the bottom of this exclusive drink, so…
more -
HAD 228 - Mama Juana
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 as we figure this out, and if we can find any, have…
more -
HAD 227 - Scotch Series-Islay
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 tiny islands off the coast of Scotland, where God’s...
-
HAD 226 - Malort
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
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 loko, because that’s illegal, but we’ll still have a...
-
HAD 224 - Weird Beer Critters
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 have had some book-learnin’. So grab a wild ale or...
-
HAD 223 - Oktoberfest Zinzinnati 2022
Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
-
HAD 222 - Mendoza Wine
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 going to be having a drink. Hosted on Acast. See...
-
HAD 221 - Scotch Series 4-Blended Scotch
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 today, and maybe a little more. So relax and grab a...
-
HAD 220 - Moonshine
“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, it’s that most of the great distillers didn’t...
-
HAD 219 - Australian Sparkling Ale
It 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. So...
-
HAD 218 - Pepsi Challenge
Advertising is a powerful tool to get people to consume your goods. How much of why we buy things is because of taste, and how much of it is just how it was marketed. In the spirit of this let's take the Pepsi challenge. So we'll do a non-alcoholic blind taste test. So, join us as we caffeinate…
more -
HAD 217 - Bloody Mary & Michelada
Today’s episode is terrible, it’s about a gross drink that no one should . . . Bob, I’m revoking your intro writing privileges. We are talking about Bloody Marys, that classic hangover cure that doesn’t cure you, it just makes you drunk again. So grab whatever you want as a garnish, I recommend a...
-
HAD 216 - Scotch Series 3-Highland (plus post-show)
Here we are . . . born to be kings, we’re the drinkers of the UNIVERSE! It’s a scotch episode and we are talking about the Highland region today, so forgive the movie reference. So this is one of the largest regions of Scotch-making with tons of distillers, and there can be more than one, so why...
-
HAD 215 - Diet Sodas
I 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…
more -
HAD 214 - Rosé (with Post Show)
What 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...

-
HAD 213 - Aquavit
Today’s episode is Aquavit. Yeah, I don’t know where you are going to find this outside of Scandinavia. But every region has a spirit, and this is the one for the frozen North of Europe. It might not fight the Black Death, but it might keep you warm as you Have a Drink. Hosted on Acast. See...
-
HAD 212 - Gluten-Free and Alternative Fermentables
Thankfully no one here has celiac disease, because that would drain the joy from our lives. No beer? No thank you! However, that isn’t an option for everyone, so when life doesn’t give you gluten, make gluten-aid? That doesn’t work. But there is still a way to ferment without the usual…
more -
HAD 211 - Scotch Series 2-Lowland
Are you tired of podcasts that only do one topic? Do you listen to shows and wonder “why do I have to wait a whole other episode to cover another topic?” Do you look at your liquor shelf wondering why you can’t have two different Scotches? There has to be a better way! Well, here on Have a Drink...
-
HAD 210 - Kentucky Common
The sun shines bright on my old Kentucky drunk . . . Bob I’m not going to sing this, stop trying to make me. Anyway . . . today’s episode is the Kentucky Common. Is there anything to really make this beer stand out from the pack? Probably not. But it’s local to us so we’re going to give it a…
more -
HAD 209 - Pink Boots
Today we are talking about the “Pink Boots Society” in beer. Who better to talk about that than three straight guys and one woman? Well, at least we have one woman on here, which is better than a lot of breweries. It’s a little bit of a different sort of show today, but we’ll have a lot of fun…
more -
HAD 208 - Beaujolais
Looks like we’re heading back to France for some wine. This time it's Beaujolais, possibly the Frenchiest wine name of all time, or maybe we need to look it up the Becktionary. We will do a little digging to see what has kept this type of wine going for centuries, look at how it’s made, and…
more -
HAD 207 - Scotch Series 1-Speyside
It’s time for Scotch this, so where is this Scotch from? Highlands? Islay? Where the heck is Speyside? Well it turns out if you like Scotch, odds are you’ve had a Speyside Scotch before, even if you don’t realize it. Join us this week as we Kick off our Scotch Series this year. I hope we’ll be…
more -
HAD 206 - Mocktails
Wait, didn’t we do this episode? I distinctly remember talking about old fashions and whatnot. Oh, mocktails. Is that just a joke? I thought it was a joke. Turns out we’re serious and so apparently mocktails are too. So I guess it’ll be an easy episode on your livers. So join us as we have a mock...

HAD 205 - Baltic Porter
It’s Winter, the nights are long and full of terrors and there is only one thing to help with that. A porter. And who knows that better than the people around the Baltics. It’s cold and awful and who wouldn’t want a drink. The dark beer will flow tonight, and we can’t wait to Have a Drink. Hosted...
