#MysteryCan is a soon-to-be-announced canned craft cocktail from our friends in Lansdale, PA (aka Boardroom Spirits) that will be made with their spirits and other high-quality ingredients. Here’s a bit more information about their #MysteryCan release: Filled with premium, all-natural ingredients, we’re inviting fans to solve the mystery of our newest product before its reveal on March 31. Enter #MysteryCan Giveaway for chances to win prizes ranging from a Custom Mystery Tasting Event for 10 and two tickets for our Cocktail Workshops; to bundles of Boardroom merchandise or Boardroom Spirit gift cards. We love a good promotion, especially when there’s drinking involved, so when Boardroom asked if we’d like to give it a try and guess what’s in the can, we were 100% on board.

Hard Seltzers and warm weather-friendly beers immediately come to mind, but there are new options out there for the drinking… Back in early February, a press release from Blaze PR landed in our inbox announcing the launch of Honcho, a Spiked Agua Fresca from the folks behind Common Cider. … Honcho, created by the makers of Common Cider, is making a splash with its new line of spiked agua frescas combining all-natural fruit nectar, fresh water sourced from the Sierra Mountains, and Honcho’s unique tropical fruit wine recipe. Inspired by Latin American recipes and ingredients, Honcho’s artisanal spiked agua frescas in mango, blueberry lemon, and prickly pear are the perfect balanced refreshment to lift your spirits. Using only natural fruit and water, Honcho takes an original approach to crafting fermented, all-natural fruit wine — inspiring a bold, new refreshment that tastes as enlightened as its calorie count.

Our advice, have one with a fat, juicy burger or perhaps a big bowl of beef stew and you’ll instantly appreciate how well a beer like this cuts through the richness and quenches your thirst. Here’s what they have to say about it: Roeselare (8% ABV) is a Flemish Style Red Ale brewed using red malt and wild yeast, and aged for a minimum of 18 months in oak barrels. When I started working at Perrin five years ago, I just missed the sold-out release of Roeselare, and I kept hearing rumors about how amazing it was. With its big, balanced flavors, it’s hands-down my favorite beer.” Rodenbach Grand Cru and Duchesse de Bourgogne are our benchmarks when it comes to this beer style.

Here at Booze Dancing Central, we’ve had many a Bowmore over the years, but truth be told, rarely have they been a distillery bottling. On today’s episode of A Tasting at The Murder Table, we’re trying an 18-year-old Bowmore distillery bottling that Limpd freed from the confines of his basement, or as he likes to call it, “ Cosseted away in the finest, hand-selected oak casks and allowed to mature at its own sedate pace, this is one of the most remarkable, perfectly balanced single malt scotch whiskies of its kind. While we’ve enjoyed a Bowmore distillery bottling or two in the past, they usually lack the punch of a single cask, cask strength bottling.
