How To Be A Better Drinker

The fellas are taking a whirlwind survey of the sour beer landscape, sipping on a variety of brews and opining on what makes them tasty, and unique. Bottoms up!

The fellas are excited to be joined by 2020 Whiskey Icon of the Year, Sailor Guevara, the PNW brand rep for the coolest whiskey company in Tennessee, Uncle Nearest! Get the backstory on how a Black guy is responsible for not only the Jack Daniels taste, but the Lincoln County Process that every bourbon has to go through to be considered Tennessee whiskey!

Returning guest Eric Hakkinen, the brains behind Seattle's Roquette drops by to tell stories about coming up in the glory days of the Seattle cocktail scene, the challenges of re-opening in the middle of a pandemic, and trades stories with the boys about celebrity service moments.

The boys are sipping Roku gin and opining on the beauty of Japanese gin and the merits of gin in general.

We're joined by actor and podcaster Andras Jones to talk about the death of Oly beer, Oly's IMDB profile, and movies we think the world is wrong about!

The fellas are recapping their first two chapters of the Home Bar series, and digging into all the rest of the things any self-respecting booze aficionado should have in a complete home bar!

Matt has managed to get his hands on the recently available, brand new Jim Beam expression Old Tub bourbon, and he and Justin have some very nice things to say about it. And in sadder news, we mourn the loss of a Los Angeles icon as The Standard LA announces their decision to close down for good.

With the dumpster fire of 2020 behind us, Matt and Justin sit down with Producer Keith, the inimitable Bobby Stills and a late appearance from Social Distance Drinking Club's Yousef Hawash to talk about what they hope to see out of the industry in 2021, what they're looking forward to as the industry recovers, and whether "normal" will ever be a thing again.

We were waiting for the right guest to break out our dark mistress, and bar manager extraordinaire Tom Kneeland fits the bill! One of Seattle's most experienced bar managers, and the guy who introduced Matt and Justin in the first place, Kneeland has had a hand in some of Seattle's most iconic spots. Take a long trip down memory lane with original nightmare fuel!

There was only one libation fit to send off the dumpster fire that was 2020: The infamous MD 20/20! Plus the return of Hildenbiddle, our fondest wishes for the year ahead, and few spiffy jingles!
