The name Pips is not only a nod to the seeds in fruits, but also to counting devices like the symbols on playing cards or the dots on a die. Though, most importantly, it is a nod to our son, Parker, who was born with special needs. Not knowing what his future holds, Pips will forever be a home to him as a family owned business.
We firmly believe in continuous improvement at Pips. We simply make what we enjoy drinking, and are beyond humbled when we can put a smile on even one other face as a result. That said, we actively seek out learning opportunities and always plan on listening to feedback from our customers. Every voice matters, for it is because of you that we are able to do what we love to do.
We thank you for your support and for joining us on this journey.

Thanks Virby44 for the bottle!
The nose shows intense notes of smoked cashews and berries.
The palate is full bodied. Perfectly balanced vanilla, blueberries and black berries with a background of bourbon and cashews. A little hot from the bourbon but other wise near perfect.

Bottle pour shared by Chalumeaux--thanks, TJ! Lightly hazy gold with no sparkle, head or lacing. Aroma is honey, strong blood orange and subtle pineapple. Taste follows aroma. Smooth texture, medium bodied, soft carbonation and finish as taste. Sweet, but not overly sweet, with nice adjuncts--wish the pineapple had been stronger.
