    A Whole (Foods) New Brew

    Whole Foods Brewing just released their second can this week without much fanfare. I was fortunate enough to be at the Post Oak location earlier this week and saw these cans in the cooler, so I had to grab them to try. This is the first of Head Brewer Chris Shelton’s original recipes that I

    Whole Foods Market DL Double IPA Fresh From the Can!

    If you didn’t read my last article, shame on you, but also, you didn’t hear the news that Whole Foods Market was going to begin canning. The first run of DL Double was canned yesterday, March 1st, and I picked up a 4-pack this morning so I could bring you the review ASAP. The beer

    New Year’s Resolution: Drink (Somewhat) Healthier Beer!

    We’ve officially reached the beginning of a new calendar year which means it’s time to reflect and aspire to a better 12 months than the previous. Beware of all your friends on social media with that unoriginal “new year, new me”, though. Most of us want to make improvements in things such as relationships, career,
