Shark Tank Party Punch Beatbox is back, it will make another appearance later today on the show. Mark Cuban originally invested in the RTD brand back in 2014 and they claim to be one of the fastest growing RTD brands, selling over 12 million BeatBoxes this year alone. They have an interesting lineup of investors and team of leaders they’ve added since the first appearance with leaders from InBev, MillerCoors, Tito’s and other industry veterans plus other celebrities and content creators. You can read the story to learn more and then find out what’s next for Beatbox on Shark Tank.

Best New Scotch Whiskies aren’t cheap, but if you have a little room in your budget for a bottle, this list of limited edition, flagship bottles and some new and different whiskies looks like it won’t disappoint. They’ve been maturing in dusty barrels in the back corners of warehouses, gaining flavors and maturing just for you. The prices vary quite a bit. -anywhere from a fairly affordable $60 ish dollars up to about $550 and names like Ardbeg Ardcore, Glen Scotia Distillery of the Year Edition, Gauldrons Sherry Cask Finish and more. They each promise a different level of complexity and flavors that range from dried cherries, caramel apples and even candied orange peels or even cookies. Check out the link for more, and find a new favorite at the link in the show notes https://gearmoose.com/best-new-scotch-whiskies-2022/

Spice Up Your Gin, the fastest growing alcohol flavor trend, according to those who are spicing their gin. Makes sense though as celebrity Chef Todd English just announced it’s his gin on choice and it already has a number of flavors to enjoy straight or play off in a cocktail. Chef English believes Gin is ultimately a "connoisseur's drink" and that the unique flavors of Mexigin "tantalize the palate," crediting Mexigin with bringing a "modern take on classic cocktails." Mexigin is one of the brands at the forefront of a revolution in Gin, combining a variety of smooth notes and savory all-natural spices – with just enough juniper and elevated heat on the back end to create a darkly spicy experience - replacing everything from bourbon and tequila to vodka and rum. Find out more about the new trend at the link in the show notes https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/mexican-spiced-gin-becomes-newest-alcohol-flavor-trend--world-famous-chef-todd-english-names-mexigin-his-gin-of-choice-301633027.html

Cold IPA is Hot, both in how it’s brewed and how it’s selling. The style is about two years old but has spread its tentacles across breweries everywhere. As to why it’s called a cold IPA, well the person who coined the term said, “Maybe I’m just trying to stick the image in your head of an ice-cold beer, but hoppy as f*ck.”.

Busy Boozy Radio Fans! My kinda people. There’s a reason the Boozebuddy Update started on the radio as it turns out 78% of radio listeners purchased alcohol in the last three months. You're also pretty highly likely to be purchasing food outside of the home at fast-casual restaurants. If you love research, even though it calls people consumers, you can read more on the dining and drinking habits of radio listeners here https://t.co/jZQYr20obK

Blockbuster A-Z Deal and no this is not about the long-ago failed video rental company called Blockbuster. A-Z Wineworks is one of the biggest wineries in Oregon and it’s now been announced they’ve sold the mega wine producer to another big winery. You can get more on this at https://www.bizjournals.com/portland/news/2022/09/07/ste-michelle-a-to-z.html

A Primer for Beer Lover’s Day - on what a bunch of beer styles are and how to feel comfortable ordering just about anything at your local taproom. Many people actually like beer, shocking. However, there are just as many people who are unsure about going into a taproom. For a fairly quick and easy story that lays out styles well, head to The Gentlemanual for Your Primer To Beer https://www.ties.com/blog/your-primer-to-beer If you’re past the primer - there’s also a much longer video that describes many beer styles, in a little over an hour. If you want to watch that - head to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P75SvA344QI

Beer Filled Villa? Stay in a villa that has a tap in your room and gives you about 17 pints of beer each day (or 10 liters) at The Villa & Barrel Lounge in Japan. Go check out the story and see pictures of the place you might be vacationing at soon https://soranews24.com/2022/09/06/japanese-hotel-gives-you-a-beer-tap-in-your-room-10-liters-of-craft-beer-to-drink-for-free/

Beer Game On! If you’ve ever wanted to brew beer, but feel like the process might be a bit overwhelming this might be a good primer on how to make beer. Brewmaster:Beer Brewing Simulator is a realistic beer brewing simulator that claims to use authentic chemistry-driven brewing techniques.  You can watch videos and see gameplay (look for the recent events and announcements) at https://store.steampowered.com/app/1569200/Brewmaster_Beer_Brewing_Simulator/

Gettin’ Juiced, That’s what Truly Hard Seltzer has done with more than 30 unique flavors that have more fruit. And an odd love story about fruit flies... https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/believe-the-buzz-truly-hard-seltzers-best-flavors-just-got-better-301615703.html

One for the Sneakerhead, a limited-edition from Larsen Cognac called Sneaker Edition. Will this gimmick grab some attention? Check it out at https://www.thespiritsbusiness.com/2022/09/larsen-cognac-launches-sneaker-edition/

Nay to Chardonnay - could be time to reboot the Sideways movie and change the line about Merlot to Chardonnay as younger tastebuds don’t seem to be attracted to the stuff. If you love Chardonnay - you get your pick of the litter, so get out there and scoop it up before the kids take a liking to mom’s wine!  https://www.startribune.com/younger-consumers-are-driving-wine-trends-and-they-dont-want-to-drink-chardonnay/600203295/
