Nothing says "weekend" quite like the sound of a foil seal ripping and a cork popping. For this Fresh Crack Friday, we’re heading up to Nashville, Indiana, to see if the crew at Hard Truth is still batting 1.000 with their legendary Sweet Mash process.

The Hard Truth Sweet Mash Rye has been winning awards left and right, but you know how we do it on The Third Pour—we don't care about the trophies on the wall, we care about the juice in the glass. We’re opening this one live, giving you our raw, unfiltered first impressions before the oxygen even has a chance to say hello.
