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.

375mil bottle share, thanks to Meadme. Orange sur léger trouble, pas de col, huileux doré au verre. Arôme au bouquet chargé d'orange blossom très frais, le tout sur un rétro doux caramel et effluve de marshmallow. Palais est mielleux, doux et épais avec ce côté fleur d'oranger plaisant, trouve aussi un côté frais léger fruité de canneberge, fleurs sauvages, collant aux lèvres et la canneberge qui ajoute un fini légèrement aigre.

187ml bottle pours out a bread color. Nose is crazy strait walnut banana bread with lots of honey sweetness. Taste is over ripe banana crazy how the walnuts are so present and a sweet honey with a hint of spice. This was spot on to the name very fun and happy I got to try it, keep up the experiments Matt.

Christmas tasting. Orange, Ruby pour. Sweet sugary. Taste too focused more on the sugars, less on the fruit. Sticky.

Bottle. Deep ruby red pour. Intense raspberry & dark chocolate nose. Light vanilla & a hint of honey. Sweet, sour, tiny bitter, heavy fruity, floral & earthy taste. Viscous, tart & tiny astringent mouthfeel. Crazy stuff! I’ve never experienced such amazing clear use of cocoa nibs. The execution of this is fucking flawless. The tartness from the berries, the nibs, the mellowing vanilla & the lingering honey. Blown away!
