  1. Sylvester Graham: Curing Sin With Crackers Since 1794 | Ep. 159

    Sylvester Graham: Curing Sin With Crackers Since 1794 | Ep. 159

    Graham crackers weren’t invented as a snack, they were part of a moral crusade. In this episode, Matt, Jason, and Drew unpack the strange story of Sylvester Graham, the 19th-century reformer who believed bland food could suppress sin, alcohol, and sexual desire. We explore how Graham’s ideas fed into temperance movements, early health culture, and America’s ongoing obsession with controlling pleasure. From crackers to culture wars, this episode connects the dots between one man’s extreme beliefs and patterns we’re still repeating today. #grahamcrackers #temperance #foodhistory https://www.youtube.com/@arsenicculture https://instagram.com/arsenicculture https://tiktok.com/@arsenicculture https://www.facebook.com/arsenicculture/ https://x.com/arsenicculture

  2. Sazerac Full Proof Rye: Thomas Handy Killer? | Review

    Sazerac Full Proof Rye: Thomas Handy Killer? | Review

    We lined up three proofs of Sazerac Rye to see how they actually stack up. Matt, Jason, and Drew taste the Sazerac Full Proof Rye, the new Sazerac 100 Proof Rye, and the classic 90 proof Sazerac Rye side by side, breaking down flavor, spice, balance, and overall drinkability. Along the way, we speculate whether the Full Proof release starts encroaching on Thomas H. Handy territory. If you’re trying to decide which Sazerac bottle is worth your money, this comparison will definitely help. #ryewhiskey #sazerac #whiskeyreview https://www.youtube.com/@arsenicculture https://instagram.com/arsenicculture https://tiktok.com/@arsenicculture https://www.facebook.com/arsenicculture/ https://x.com/arsenicculture

    The Arsenic Culture Awards: Our Best & Worst of 2025 | Ep. 158

    We’re closing out 2025 with the first-ever Arsenic Culture Awards. Matt, Jason, and Drew kick things off with a round of Drinko, it's Plinko, but with terrible drinking consequences, before breaking down the best, worst, and most baffling things we covered all year. From best bourbon and favorite stories to the dreaded “Why Does This Exist?” award, we nominate, debate, and vote on the moments that defined Arsenic Culture in 2025. We wrap it all up by recognizing the community with our Greatest Fan Award and shouting out one of the people who helped keep this show alive all year.

    Penelope Light Whiskey: Is It Worth $100? | Review

    Jason and Jordon crack open Penelope Light Whiskey to see whether this lighter-profile release justifies its ~$100 price tag. They dig into the nose, palate, finish, proof, and overall drinkability while comparing it to the rest of Penelope’s lineup and other whiskeys in the same price range. If you’re curious about Penelope Light, thinking about buying a bottle, or just want straight-up whiskey talk without the fluff, this review breaks it all down. #whiskeyreview #penelopewhiskey #bourbon https://www.youtube.com/@arsenicculture https://instagram.com/arsenicculture https://tiktok.com/@arsenicculture https://www.facebook.com/arsenicculture/ https://x.com/arsenicculture

    We Tried Every Type of Eggnog… and a Coquito | Ep. 157

    In this festive holiday tasting, Matt, Jason, and Drew explore the surprisingly storied history of eggnog, from its centuries-old origins to why Americans drink so much of it today. Then the real fun starts: the crew taste-tests multiple eggnog varieties: classic, store-bought, and specialty versions. Then finishes with a rich, coconut-forward coquito. If you’re looking for holiday drink ideas, nog recommendations, or just want to watch three grown men question their life choices over dairy, this one delivers. #eggnog #holidaydrinks #coquito https://www.youtube.com/@arsenicculture https://instagram.com/arsenicculture https://tiktok.com/@arsenicculture https://www.facebook.com/arsenicculture/ https://x.com/arsenicculture

    Jason and Jordon sit down to review Little Book “The Infinite” Batch 2, the 2025 release from Freddie Noe’s experimental Little Book series. They break down the nose, palate, finish, blend components, and whether this year’s batch lives up to the hype…or the price tag.

From New Year’s Eve and Drinksgiving to Krampusnacht, Christmas Adam, and Hanukkah’s eight days of drinking, we explore how different cultures find excuses to gather, celebrate, and pour another round.

    Why Are Craft Beer Sales Down? | Ep. 155

    We sat down with Brandon from Ethereal Brewing to celebrate their 11-year anniversary and talk about the state of the craft beer industry. With sales dipping nationwide, shifting customer tastes, and big breweries changing strategy, we wanted to hear directly from someone who’s kept a brewery thriving for over a decade. We cover what’s changed, why hype cycles matter, how brewing philosophies have evolved, and what the next wave of craft beer might look like. And while we’re at it, we crack open Bourbon County Brand Stout 2025 and Minutiae by Phase 3 to compare old-school vs new-school barrel-aged styles. If you love beer talk, brewery insights, or stout nerdery, this one’s packed. #craftbeer #beerreview #bourboncountystout https://www.youtube.com/@arsenicculture https://instagram.com/arsenicculture https://tiktok.com/@arsenicculture https://www.facebook.com/arsenicculture/ https://x.com/arsenicculture
