The Bartender Rant Podcast

Brian brings a little sunshine into Mike and Steve's life as they struggle with their commitments to the podcast... and to each other. With a chipper demeanor, Brian delights us with stories of public defecation, hot tub handies, and steel eating rats. True to form, Brian cleans up this episode like it's a filthy walk-in.

Brian's Manhattan:

2 - 2 1/2 oz. Rye Bourbon

1/2 oz. Sweet Vermouth

Splash of Luxardo Cherry Juice

Garnish with Luxardo Cherry

Add all ingredients into a rocks glass filled with ice, stir, and enjoy!

Rowan is some guy who bartends in Baltimore. He works at Daas now and he thinks he's sooo cool. Sure, maybe he steels the show from us at question 9 of The Gauntlet, but who cares? Mike gets drunk and tells some jokes that don't land and Steve doesn't shut up. Fair warning, this episode is a few towel snaps away from being recorded in a men's locker room.

Natty Boh Cans or Some Other Cheap Beer

A Little Bit of Vodka

To celebrate our 50th episode, we decided to switch things up a bit. Arguably our longest and most loyal fan, Steve's Mom joins us to share her thoughts on the podcast and reminisce about some of her favorite stories from The Gauntlet. Hot on the heals of our 2 year anniversary, this episode is the perfect mix of nostalgia and judicious reflection.

Lisa's Mead:

Lisa loves all types of Mead and since most Meads are small batch and hard to find, seek out your nearest Mead producer, give them some business and enjoy!
