Happy Halloween!!! 🎃

A silly cocktail I make using this soda is called a Panda Expression. It’s equal parts ginger beer and orange juice with a shot of Drumshambo’s gunpowder green tea gin, garnished with mulled black peppercorns and an orange peel.

For the past eight years or so, If you’ve ever been to Columbus, you may have seen one of the original Nehi buildings down on Front Ave. As a soda town, this ain’t the last Columbus-native here folks.

This beer is super light and refreshing. Perfect for a summer day by the pool. The ginger and grapefruit is a wonderful combination.

I picked this cap up near Narrowsburg, NY. This small brewery uses a neat graphic that reminds me of Lichtenstein’s style and Van Gogh’s Portrait of the Postman Joseph Roulin.

This was found in Florence, Italy in 2019.

The word ‘grape’ written to designate the flavor indicates that this cap could have been collected between 2007 and 2017. The drop-out type design also points to this period, although it is similar to the 2017-2021 logo. However, research also shows it’s likely Crush uses a separate logo for their glass bottles, which appears to still be active.

Moxie was eventually purchased by The Coca-Cola Company in 2018, furthering the expanse of their beverage monopoly.

Under the parent company, Anheuser-Busch Brands, Budweiser is a staple American beer. With only 55 calories, it has been said that Select 55 was a direct response to a low calorie Miller beer.

Collected by my partner in Berlin in 2017.

An Italian beer, likely from their Bionda Lager. It’s possible I picked this cap up from the streets of Florence, as I don’t recall having a beer during my time there.

Through researching the origin of this beer, I discovered that the company is also the maker of Voodoo Ranger.

For many, this is the go-to Belgian beer. It has a light, classic taste. This cap was likely picked up in my restaurant days, and the design gives even more evidence as they used this logo between 2016 and 2023.

This is a blank black cap. The lines seen are barely visible in person and are likely from the sealing and capping machine.
