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.

Little dram from the bottle kindly shared by TimE. Huge raspberry nose with vanilla, light maple syrup notes, honey. Deep crimson, flat. Sweet honey and raspberry, vanilla, maple syrup. Heavy and of course cloying, but nice raspberry acidity cuts through it nicely. A little alcohol burn also helps to balance. Quite delicious. Not sure it lives up to the huge hype, but it does taste great.

Thanks Justin for sharing the bottle! Poured into a taster showing translucent deep plum red. The nose shows pronounced notes of raspberry, jam, baking spice, and pancake batter. The palate is full bodied showing the same pronounced notes of raspberry and jam. Extremely fruit forward and moderately but balanced sweetness. Lacks the pancake batter flavor seen in Banana Pancake but this is still near the same level of perfection.

Inky purple color. Excellent fresh raspberry jam, pancake character with nice pancake dough character but very fruit driven. Decadent lovely palate, nice acidity, excellent raspberry jam character with pancake playing in the background. The pancake character isn’t as pronounced as the banana pancake mead. Nice acidity. Better than pancake for acidity. Amazing
