Pour a glass and pull up a chair with Mark, Joe, Jeff, and Riley as they sip, squabble, and stumble through the wide world of bourbon. Each episode, the Beasts crack open a bottle - sometimes rare, sometimes budget, always bourbon. Dive into tasting notes, distillery lore, drinking history, and whatever nonsense comes up in between. Expect wisecracks, hot takes, and the occasional moment of insight. No scripts. No experts. Just three old friends (and one decent microphone) figuring it out as they go. New episodes every week(ish). Bring your own bottle.

Episode 10 Pt. 2 - Bourbon Books, Split Pants and Rock-and-Roll Bourbon
In Part 2 of Episode 10, the conversation shifts from the glass to the bookshelf as the crew discusses bourbon author Fred Minnick, the history of Old Crow, bourbon storytelling, and the personalities shaping today's whiskey world. The guys also dive into the changing bourbon industry, the rise of regional craft distilleries, and surprising facts about America's top bourbon-producing states. Along the way, Joe shares the story of his first golf outing in more than a decade - a tale involving company golf, torn pants, and unintended workplace comedy. And finally, the mystery is solved: Joe reveals the iconic rock legend whose favorite bourbon was Rebel Yell. More bourbon recommendations, more laughs, and more evidence that retirement may be the perfect time to become a full-time bourbon concierge.

Episode 10 Pt. 1 - Award-Winning Bourbon and A Distillery Surprise
The Best of Bourbon crew is back with a packed episode featuring a live tasting of New Riff Kentucky Straight Bourbon-the recent winner of a major international whiskey award. The guys compare tasting notes, discuss whether bourbon competitions really matter, and share stories about tracking down bottles in Massachusetts, Texas, California, and beyond. Along the way, Mark takes us inside Saint Augustine Distillery, a small independent Florida operation housed in a historic icehouse, where local craftsmanship, bourbon, rum, vodka, and even gin come together under one roof. Plus, Joe kicks off a bourbon-themed rock-and-roll mystery: which legendary musician's bourbon of choice was Rebel Yell? The clues start here, but you'll have to tune in to Part 2 for the answer. Join Mark, Joe, Jeff, and Riley for another round of bourbon, banter, and questionable math.

Episode 09 - Budget Bottles and Bourbon Blunders
This week the crew proves (again) that you don’t need to spend big to drink well—diving into solid pours under $50, from Buffalo Trace to Green River and beyond. Along the way, things get… predictably off the rails. AI-powered tasting notes, charred oak glasses, a tragic infinity bottle mix-up, and a liquor store loophole worth knowing about. Plus, a little bourbon history with Harry Truman’s go-to pours, and the usual debate of purists vs. mixers. As always-good bourbon, questionable expertise.
