This week Jen and Erica are trying another Alaska Distillery vodka, this one flavored with Fireweed. Disclosure: the bottle was sent to us by Alaska Distillery.

Jen and Erica start off Season 9 of the show by revisiting an old friend, the age-your-own-bourbon kit Risky? Whisky. They started aging it eight months ago in Episode 39 and checked in on after four months in Episode 47. Now they're ready to remove the wood chips and water it down to drinkable levels of alcohol.

We're kicking off Season 9 (!!) with a season teaser and an announcement about our LIVE SHOW!

It's not really a full episode, but Jen and Erica wanted to say thanks to Watershed Bar, where we filmed the last two live episodes.

It's our second live episode from one of our favorite bars, Watershed in downtown Chicago. This time, Jen and Erica are sampling Koval Paw Paw Liqueur, which Watershed uses in a cocktail called "I Do Declare!"

Live from Watershed, Jen and Erica are trying the limited release North Shore Silver Lining, an American Kräuter liqueur.

It's the last episode from our live appearance at the 2013 Chicago Sketch Fest at Stage 773, but not the last episode of Season 8—next week we start some shows filmed live at Watershed, one of our favorite bars in Chicago. But this week, Jen and Erica finish off the fest by trying some tiny bottles of Dr. McGillicuddy's Intense Apple Pie Liqueur.

Live from the 2013 Chicago Sketch Fest at Stage 773, Jen and Erica are trying Loopy, a "tropical-fruit" flavored vodka from Three Olives that bears more than a passing resemblance to Fruit Loops cereal.

Here's the second episode we filmed live at the Chicago Sketch Fest. This time, Jen and Erica are drinking Nemiroff Honey Pepper Vodka, a gift from Erica's old boss.

Season 8 of Drunk Monkeys was taped in front of a live studio audience. We've got four episodes filmed at Stage 773 during Chicago Sketch Fest and then two from a special evening we had at Watershed. In this first episode, Jen and Erica are drinking Dude Lemon-Lime Flavored Vodka from Three Olives.
