Rachel O. ,

One of my favorites

Great podcast even for us nonbartenders. Would love a white claw or buzzball episode in the future

AkaiMe804 ,

Grateful!

This series is invaluable for todays bartender. Working between a sports bar and a fine dining cocktail bar it has become very apparent that continuing education is critical for success. Eric’s passion for the craft comes through in cases and barrels every week ;) after many months of enjoyment I wanted to say thank you! From a consistently thirsty, forever hungry bartender in Upstate NY!

Harrison Kahn ,

Cheers!

Erick, I’m really enjoying the podcast. Cheers from the team at Barr Hill in Vermont.
