Beards, Books, and Bourbon Podcast

In tonight's oopsisode, Stephen and Mark talk about the role of the military in Stephen King's "The Mist".  They will also revisit Chattanooga Whiskey, first sampled from the "STOMP STOMP BOOM" episode which dropped on April 15, 2022.

As we begin the countdown to Halloween and our season finale, we start with "The Mist" by Stephen King.  A dark and complex tale based off a simple premise, the boys are pairing it up with The Jury by High 'n Wicked.

Instead of the usual oopsisode, because the last book is still so new, the boys opted to spend their time extolling the virtues of Uncle Nearest Bourbon Whiskey.  Enjoy!

This week, Stephen and Mark spend a little time talking about the most recent story from author Paul Tremblay, "Horror Movie".  They will talk about the twists, spirals, and rabbit holes truly good authors like Trembay can create.  Horror Movie is a escheresque, gravity defying maze of mirrors.  A sophisticated story needs an equally sophisticated bourbon paired with it.  Tonight, the boys will sample Thomas S. Moore Cognac Cask bourbon.

On this oopsisode, we discuss Jim Beam, and the concept of FAFO.

Green towns, volcanos, and Sasquatch, OH MY!  In tonight's episode, we look at "Devolution" by Max Brooks.  It's a wild ride, made all the more terrifying by the hauntingly plausible documentary style of the book.  To keep their heads, the boys will sample some George Dickel bourbon.

Oh my.  Author, Zee Lacson, sticks around after the initial recording to do the oopsisode with Stephen and Mark.  How many bourbons can one author take?  All of them.  Especially when we're talking about allies.  Spend another 12 minutes with Zee Lacson and the boys as they talk about allies in the book "Twice Removed."

On this episode, Stephen and Mark interview YA author, Zee Lacson.  She and her husband have stopped by to talk about her new book, "Twice Removed".  For the bourbon tonight, the four of them will try out Lux Row, a complex and delightful bourbon to match the book and the company!  For more about Zee, see below.

WELCOME TO THE ANNUAL RONALD MALFI LOVE FEST. Seriously, it's kind of sick how much we love this guy's writing.  We have a problem.  We need counseling, or perhaps we just need some Copper & Cask Bourbon to pair with writing.

On today's episode, we take a look at five novellas from one of our favorite authors, Ronald Malfi, in his new book, "They Lurk".  Malfi's writing is always complex and thought provoking while it mercilessly scares the ever living poop out of you. Tonight we are pairing the book with Belfour Texas Pecan Wood Finished Bourbon Whiskey.  It's another deep and complex offering, and we can't wait to tell you more about it.
