Sorry for all the regulars who looked for our booth last Saturday at the Flea; we were taking a break in Asheville North Carolina, eating up some grits and enjoying rafting down the Nolichucky River...
Read MoreWatermelon flavors and according to Time Out we're a rising star!
Tony's been a busy cooking up new flavors, including watermelon, cilantro, jalapeno and lime (our apologies to all the cilantro haters out there, but too bad, we love the stuff); and a watermelon tarragon and lemon which he ended up taking to the Flea and the very successful Rooftop films & Kickstarter evening last week. It looks like its going to be a scorcher of a summer, so here's to more mouth watering beverages.

Read MoreEarl Grey! Raspberry season!
We've decided to try a caffeinated tea soda. I grew up drinking tea, and Earl Grey has been a favorite of mine for a long time. Unfortunately we can't replicate the experience of a milky Earl Grey, but thought it a fizzy Earl Grey would be a good experiment, especially for those early morning Brooklyn Flea visitors...

A few days late, but last weekend was ridiculously busy! We sold out of 6 kegs by 3:45pm. I'm sure a lot of it had to do with being featured in DailyCandy's weekend guide...

Read MoreFlavors for Saturday! And flip-top bottles to take home soda!
It's amazing how different thyme from different places can look. The thyme on the above left is from the Union Square Farmer's market, and the one on the right is from a farmers market in NJ. It seems like the one on the left is younger and lighter tasting (the leaves are bigger), while the bunch on the right has smaller denser leaves.
