This week on BBQ Radio Network, pitmaster Todd Johns of Plowboys BBQ is joined by guest co-host Tanner Austin, founder of the Kansas City Whiskey Guild and a trusted voice in the world of spirits and smoke. Tanner returns to the studio following his popular bourbon tasting episode earlier this year to help us explore the flavorful intersection of BBQ and whiskey.
Our guest is Bryan Smith, Master Distiller at Hard Truth Distilling Co., known for crafting award-winning rye whiskey and bold, flavor-forward spirits. Bryan dives into how different styles of rye can complement regional BBQ sauces—from Carolina vinegar to Kansas City sweet and spicy. Whether it's a peppery pour that enhances Texas brisket or a citrus-forward cocktail that balances Memphis heat, Bryan shares how to match cocktails with the sauce on your plate.
