Your Friday pour + a deadline you don't want to miss

Published 12 days ago • 1 min read

The Weekend Pour

It's a big one this weekend.

Before I get into everything else, Friday is the LAST day for Early Bird pricing on Fort Wayne Bourbon Fest tickets — $25 off. Once we hit August, that discount is gone. If you've been telling yourself you'll grab tickets "eventually," eventually is today.

What's happening at ZBar

YouTube Live Event

Saturday at 8pm we're going LIVE. Ten of you are heading to ZBar for our Bottle Share, and we're bringing the whole thing to YouTube so everyone can be part of it — even if you're not one of the lucky ten in the room. Expect new bottles on the table, honest reactions, and probably a few surprises. Come hang out in the chat.

Fort Wayne Bourbon Fest

Big Fort Wayne Bourbon Fest news: SLB Drinks is officially joining us this year. We put out both a short and a long-form video this week walking through what that means for the festival — if you haven't seen it yet, it's worth the watch. We're now sitting at 29 distilleries committed, and the momentum is real. Click on Thumbnail to go to the Long Form Video.

Video's coming out next

  • Friday: Old Grand Dad 114 Single Barrel 7 Yr review
  • Saturday: a Wild Turkey Gold Foil 16 Yr short drops alongside the LIVE
  • Sunday: we'll publish the full Bottle Share replay with chapters, so if you miss it live, you won't miss it for good

Reply and tell us — what's the one bottle you'd want to see poured at Saturday's Bottle Share if you were in the room?

We Need a Barrel Pick Crew! I mentioned this on Friday, but I wanted to give it its own email because I actually need your help. We've got three barrel picks coming up over the next month, and for each one I want a few subscribers along for the ride — not just watching the video after the fact. Each one has a different feel and its own kind of adventure, so take a look and see which one speaks to you. By the way feel free to sign up for all three or just one. I have a feeling given that there...

The Weekend Pour Big week behind us, and an even bigger few weeks coming up. Let's get into it.
