Over the last few years there are a handful of diehard bourbon hunters out there... less than you would think. People who take weeks and months off from work to travel all over North America visiting every single liquor store, one state at a time. Today we sit down with one of those individuals. Todd Grube makes another appearance on the show as we talk to Robyn MacAdams. A dusty bourbon hunter who has visited every single liquor store in the state of Texas as he walks us through his methods, items he has found and how he covers the entire US, one state at a time. A true and absolute crazy person always looking for his next big score and I am proud to call him a friend. A good time was had by all.

As we come to an end in our first ever Pappy Hunt, we reflect on the last few weeks and after the most recent news of the Bars in Texas STILL on lockdown, we wonder if there is light at the end of this tunnel. This past week a firestorm broke out over Jim Murray's Whiskey Bible. His reviews are under fire with accusations of sexism and lewd vocabulary. Many on social media defending his as not being sexist but just cringe worthy. Either way this issue hint at a deeper issue within the industry and today we are joined by three women to discuss sexism and misogyny within the whiskey world and how to move forward. What are some of the ways the industry can show  and attract a larger female audience without pandering to stereotypes. Blair and Janet from the Whiskey Women Podcast and Dusti Rhodes joins me for a chat on the subject over a few drinks. A good time was had by all.

The first Pappy Van Winkle Scavenger hunt in North American History has taken off! 3 of 6 bottles have been found and this week we sit down with Todd Grube and Jace VanHoozer to talk about the fun we have been having. Reserve 101 has really helped make this thing something special and we have massive plans for next year. We also taste through some early 1980s Dant, a Brand New 15 year Whistlepig pick and Sagamore single barrel for the Houston Bourbon Society and the 2 new Balcones Single barrel Cask Strength Single malts we just launched for the show.

The Boys on Amazon Prime blew away all expectations and largely because of the complicated and pragmatic psychopath that is Homelander. This week I sit down with Antony Starr for a few drinks and a pour from his birthday bottle, a 1975 IW HARPER. We talk the insanely perfect show that was Banshee and of course dive deep into season 2 of The Boys and how it has RAILROADED him to a massive and obsessive fandom. Antony is a great guy and if I have learned to GAUGE anything is surely on the right TRACK to stardom. A good time was had by all.

I absolutely love the conversation that happens this week. I don't mean to be a Scrooge about Water but this is an important topic that is not discussed enough in America.

This week we see the return of Ingenious founder, Justin Gyorfi.  We talk about the wild ride Ingenious has been through over the last couple of years as arguably Texas's most adventurous brewery.  Let me be clear, there are plenty of progressive, ground breaking breweries in Houston but no one, I repeat, no one is thinking outside the box like Ingenious.
