Matteo Meletti joins Barrel to Bottle to discuss his family's 155 year history of making amaro.

We're kicking off barrel-aged beer season with our annual preview of the Bourbon County Brand Stout lineup.

Barrel to Bottle samples this year's lineup of Goose Island Bourbon County Brand Stout.

Curious about this year’s lineup of Bourbon County Brand Stout? We had a chance to visit the Goose Island Barrel Warehouse to give them a taste and we’re excited to report that Goose brought the thunder in 2023!

Our resident loud amaro lover Pat is back to torture Roger with twelve different Amari, running the gamut from extremely bitter to refreshing and subdued.

How did an outwardly Italian man end up in Eugene, Oregon making amaro? Find out as we talk with Elixir Spirits co-founder Andrea Loreto.

This week on Barrel to Bottle, we’re revisiting the 2022 Bourbon County Stout line-up to try the easter egg single-distillery variants and more.

It’s the end of October, which means it’s time to taste some Bourbon County Stout. Our friends at Goose Island were good enough to invite the Barrel to Bottle crew to their Barrel House and taste through the 2022 lineup.

Last week it was new wines, this week it's new spirits. Pat once again overdid it and brought too many new items for us to sample.

Pat is constantly extolling the virtues of aromatized wines. Finally, we have a guest who will actually agree with him and won’t just make fun of him. Jake Parrott is a friend of the pod and the Whiskey Hotline and is also the national sales director of Haus Alpenz. What Jake sells, and Pat loves, is woefully esoteric. But Binny’s customers, and Barrel to Bottle listeners, are enthusiasts.
