S1E1 Was when we changed the format to introduce ourselves with a spirit that highlights who we are and where we hope to take this podcast. Gary brought in a Jim Beam and Sprite, so we added some Beam. Mark recounted a story that involved his and Gary’s history as drinkers with a bottle of Tullamore Dew. Jameson brought in his namesake: Jameson.
S1E2 Gary brought in some Redbreast 12 year old that reminded him of his time in Ireland and the pubs there. Pull out your favorite bottle that has some sentimental meaning, pour a glass, and join us as we discuss what we feel makes an ideal bar.
S1E3 Mark brought in a bottle of Stranahan’s American Single Malt with the question of evolving culture and traditions. If you don’t have an American Single Malt, go to your liquor store, grab a bottle, and join us in the latest expression of American whiskey.
S1E4 Jameson brings up an interesting question about the importance of rites of passage. There is an interesting question there about the choice of one’s first legal drink. Think about your first legal drink, grab that, and join us as we explore the role rites of passage play in holding a culture together.
S1E5 Jameson introduced us to the President’s Punch. In doing so, we explored the role the tavern has played in history and also addressed the issue of what we can and cannot talk about in a bar. Consider the role the bar and tavern and public house have played in shaping who and what we are as a people.
S1E6 Gary takes on the question of innovation and the potential results. Using the history of the Moscow Mule to increase the market share of vodka, Gary makes us some Kentucky Mules to share. Listen and consider the chance meetings you have had or might have.
