For beverage fans, Rinse offers a range of beer and wine soaps, from PBR to Chocolate Stout, and more local offerings like Southern Brewing Co.’s Red and Black Beer Soap, handmade with 98% natural ingredients that provide a rich lather that’s easy on the skin and good for any part of the body.

Experience café-quality espresso for cappuccinos, lattes and more with the Calphalon Temp iQ and Espresso Machine with Grinder and Steam Wand. Each brew brings the joy of fresh espresso with the integrated conical burr mill grinder featuring 30 adjustable grind settings, allowing for total flavor customization.

Quality comes at a cost, but for coffee lovers, years of enjoyment await. Available widely at retailers including Walmart, Target, Costco, Bed, Bath & Beyond and others.
3 Beer Rub has carved out a firm niche for itself across the U.S. with its iconic labeling and distinct flavor that easily converts the uninitiated. Good things come in threes for this Alpharetta-based company, which started when three friends began homebrewing beer and cooking up BBQ rib recipes, tweaking their flavors with true brewers’ curiosity. After many disappointingly over-salty results, and “a few beers,” they happened upon a winning formula consisting of a brown sugar base with 10 spices. By 2004 they were bottling the rub in mason jars and gifting it to friends and family, who found that it was good on just about anything… surf, turf, veggies, beans, mac and cheese… everything. By 2008 they were selling in farmer’s markets and local retail, and now are in more than 30 states, including Whole Foods and Kroger, along with specialty grocery and BBQ supply stores. Customer suggestions have led to an expanded line of flavors which include Smokin’ Chipotle, Thai, Lemon Spice, Garlic & Herb, Teriyaki, Seafood Seasoning, and its most recent creation, RUBvolution Crunch Popcorn. Available at Kroger, Whole Foods and other specialty grocery stores.
