Welcome to Sloshbucklers, the uncanny podcast that reviews canned booze. I’m your host, Elaine Best, and in every episode, a guest and I will experience the wonders of canned alcohol. Don your salmon shorts and find a boat because season one is gonna be about HARD SELTZER. Each episode will also have its own drinking game, and since seltzer is quite bubbly, the house rules require all participants to drink every time someone burps. New episodes release every other Thirsty Thursday so be sure to follow this podcast to stay updated on the adventure!
Drink responsibly and journey on, Sloshbuckler.
