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.

RBSG 17 grand tasting, magnum courtesy of Pips.Nice reddish violet color with small bubbly head. Big jelly jar aromas, honey, and hints of the cacao. Taste blends it all together like a big chocolate covered raspberry confection. Truly wonderful stuff.

Bottle at RBSG Boise. Deep ruby red color. I instantly associated this with chocolate covered cherries, before long it becomes apparent its raspberries. Very sweet and desert like. Tastes like a desert of sweet milk chocolate and dark chocolate? more raspberries. Just a little tart, but mostly sweet. This is one of the best desert beverages I can recall to date.

Bottle at RBSG Boise. Dark purple color with some bubbles. Aroma is rich with blueberries and cashews? I don?t think I?ve ever smelled casheews, but dammit they?re here. The taste is devastatingly accurate. Big time sweet ripe blueberries? it?s like syrup. I want to pour this over pancakes. So rich and potent. Absolutely decadent.
