The Bar Is Open

Flying solo this episode, I decided to try a bunch of cheap liquors and make them palatable. It was hard, VERY. but I carry on.Don't be afraid to try new things, but rum shouldn't burn. Enjoy.

Do you like pizza? Do you like beer? Then go to Millstone. Me and new co-host Dustin take the bar to Millstone in Rock Hill and sample several different beers and soak in the atmosphere. Enjoy !

I'm back. The podcast that dares to ask the questions you wouldn't is back. New topics, new occasional co-host, new booze. Enjoy.

Beer is for the birds especially if its Birdsong. Birdsong brewery own Chris and Connor has stepped up to the Bar to discuss their history and plans for beer domination. Not really, but it is good beer. Music by Florance and the Machine.

We are back. You never know who you'll meet at a beer festival. I met up with Tray and Ben Hasty and after a few drinks we became the Justice League of Beer. And in that conversation I learned that they are home brewers that deserves attention. Enjoy.

Hi, the podcast is extra good today because we have THE drink bunny. LJ founder of the Charlotte Beer Girls. She combined her love of booze and cosplay to help charities.  Please support. Enjoy

Today we class this place up. I get to interview certified sommelier Jeffrey Sigala with Del Frisco's double eagle steakhouse. We talk wine, wine and more wine. we even throw in some Mad Dog 20/20. Good times. Music by Soulganic

Kombucha. What is it? Good stuff is what it is. Probably the best hangover remedy ever, and it taste great. I sit down at the bar with Townes Mozer and Joe Packheiser and talk Lenny Boy Kombucha. Keep you eye on these guys they're going places.

It hurts in a good way. Beertopia was excellent as always and it took a couple of days to recover. I'm joined with Dustin the new part-time co-host as we hit some of our favorite brews. He likes IPA's. Enjoy. Music by Soulganic- Detox.

I love beer and Triple C brewery is the place to go. I talk to head brewmaster Scott Kimble on his process, what he likes in beer and where the beer is going. Also walking through the mountians is a great place to get inspired to make beer. Don't ask just listen, Enjoy. Music by Soulive

We are back!!! So big directional changes at The Bar Is Open. More interviews and more verity of content. For example Marie Oskins my new wine expert. This brief interview will highlight why she is my new go to wine person. also later in the podcast we talk to a new n00b as he gets his alcohol cherry popped. Enjoy! Music by Soulganic.

Food. What goes great with beer? Food! Really good food. After my interview with NODA brewery David Stuck from the Tin Kitchen was nice enough to stop by and give me the rundown. I know we are a drinking podcast but this is a serious good food truck. Enjoy! Music by Soulganic.

One does not interview Chad Henderson, one experiences Chad and he does the rest. Big thanks to Chad and all the guys at NODA for this opportunity to sit down and talk. As you will hear he is VERY passionate about beer, the process and NODA brewery. This was a very enjoyable time with a good guy and award winning beer maker. Also a little bonus episode at the end with soon to be Mrs. Courtney as this week drink bunny. Enjoy. Music by Soulganic.

Special Podcast. Nils Weldy organizer of the Queen City Brewers Festival. This is a can't miss episode if you want to know about Charlotte area beer and breweries. JP and I go in depth with Nils about the festival, its beginnings and it great future. Music from Solganic.

Shots, Shots, Shots! All about shots. So as you can guess this is a JP heavy episode. We go over a variety of different drinks and discuss the make up of more popular shots. Also we have a very angry drink bunny. Music by LMAFO.
