Beardy: The Water Sommelier Who Brings Passion to Hydration
Doran Binder, known as Beardy in the water world, is a true pioneer in the art of water sommelier expertise.

The Beardy Water Tasting Box: An Immersive Experience
Beardy’s tasting box offers a handpicked selection of waters that each tell their own unique story. Let’s explore the waters included in his curated box:
-
Borjomi Sparkling (Georgia)
This naturally carbonated water comes from the Borjomi Valley in Georgia, renowned for its mineral-rich springs. The water is a favorite for its crisp and refreshing taste, with a slightly salty minerality that makes it ideal for pairing with food. The distinct flavor profile, with hints of bicarbonate and sulfates, gives Borjomi its unique character. -
Mountain Valley Spring & Sparkling (USA)
Sourced from the Ouachita Mountains in Arkansas, Mountain Valley has been a staple in American premium waters for over 100 years. Its natural spring water is known for its purity, low sodium content, and smooth finish. The sparkling version provides an effervescent touch, making it perfect for refreshing, vibrant hydration. -
Lurisia Still (Italy)
From the Italian Alps, Lurisia Still is a highly regarded still water that features balanced mineral content, particularly with calcium and magnesium. The smooth texture and delicate flavor make Lurisia Still a luxurious choice for everyday hydration. -
Socosani Added Carbonation (Peru)
Socosani’s effervescent water is sourced from a spring located high in the Andes Mountains. Known for its slightly higher mineral content, this water is perfect for those who appreciate a bubbly refreshment with added complexity. Its carbonation is naturally smooth, complementing its mineral-rich profile. -
Three Bays Spring (Australia)
Hailing from the clean, protected waters of Australia, Three Bays Spring offers a refreshing, crisp taste with low mineral content, making it ideal for those who prefer a clean, light water experience. It is a great choice for hydration during exercise or simply enjoying on its own.
The Art of Water Tasting: What to Expect
Water tasting might sound like a new concept to many, but it’s becoming a sophisticated experience that’s drawing more attention. Just as wine, coffee, and tea are expertly tasted and analyzed, water too has its own set of characteristics that can be appreciated and enjoyed. The unique blend of minerals in each source, the water’s texture, its clarity, and even its temperature can all play a role in how we perceive it.
During Beardy’s online water tasting sessions, you’ll learn how to taste water like a true sommelier. He will guide you through the tasting process, helping you identify the minerals and elements that define each water. By experiencing different waters side-by-side, you’ll be able to explore how each one reacts with your palate and how the water’s origin and composition can change your hydration experience.

What makes Beardy’s tasting box so special is not only the quality of the waters inside but the opportunity it provides for consumers to truly understand the nuances of hydration. Each water in the box represents a different part of the world, showcasing the diverse geological and environmental factors that contribute to its characteristics.
