Thirsty? We tried some beverages this week that you're not likely to find at your local grocery store -- unless you live close to the Buford Highway Farmer's Market.

Former AJC dining critic John Kessler joined us in the taste test studio to try Kvass, made with rye bread, malt beverage Malta Goya and yerba mate soda Materva.
