    EPISODE #150: Kissimmee Downtown Brewdown

    This is The Beer Is Fundamental Show. This is Episode 143 and we want to welcome you once again to the NeighBeerHood where craft beer is always the talk of the town. We are your hosts, BT aka O-Beer-Wan Kenobi the Jedi Knight of craft beer and Lady T. This episode is all about the annual Kissimmee Downtown Brewdown. Though it is a short episode, it is packed with interviews of the different homebrewers in the city of Kissimmee. I would dare say the best homebrewers in the immediate area. The brewdown is sponsored by Vintage Vinos in Kissimmee and has been an annual function for years. The way it works is homebrewers provide anywhere from one to 3 craft beer selections. They can be of any variety. But it pays to be creative. People can purchase voting cards for certain amounts. The cards range from$10 to $30. The more expensive the card, the more votes you get. Each card also gives you one or two beers depending on the card.

    EPISODE #147: The 2nd Annual Bartender’s Bash at The Edison at Disney Springs

    This is The Beer Is Fundamental Show. This is Episode 146 and we want to welcome you once again to the NeighBeerHood where craft beer is always the talk of the town. We are your hosts, BT aka O-Beer-Wan Kenobi the Jedi Knight of craft beer and Lady T. We go to Disney a lot. We are Disney Passholders. We’ve been passholders since 2015. But we readily admit that we haven’t even scratched the surface of what all Disney has to offer. It could be because we spend so much time at EPCOT. Don’t let anyone tell you different. EPCOT is for adults. But I digress. We definitely do not take advantage of Disney Springs. Our introduction to The Edison is proof of that. We were able to attend the 2nd Annual Bartender’s Bash at The Edison and it was so much fun. As they say, “There are no bartenders here. Only mixologists.” That is an understatement. The Bartender’s Bash is where eight of Central Florida’s top mixologists compete with their handcrafted cocktails. Guests are able to sample and vote while indulging in perfectly paired bites prepared by The Edison. There’s live entertainment and a silent auction with proceeds going to Give Kids the World Village. We did something a little different with this live show. We decided to keep the background noise. We’re not sure how we feel about it. Lady T, who is usually camera ready with great pictures was totally off of her game. However, we still enjoyed ourselves. Hopefully, you enjoy the show. You can listen to this episode on your favorite platform where you get your podcast. Or you can scroll to the bottom of the page to listen or download the episode. Cheers!

    EPISODE #146: What’s Going On With The Whiskey Business?

    This is The Beer Is Fundamental Show. This is Episode 146 and we want to welcome you once again to the NeighBeerHood where craft beer is always the talk of the town. We are your hosts, BT aka O-Beer-Wan Kenobi the Jedi Knight of craft beer and Lady T. There’s a lot that is happening in the world of craft beer, spirits and wines. This is especially the case for liquor and spirits. We discuss these issues while sipping on Blanton’s Single Barrel, Eagle Rare 10 Year, and Weller Special Reserve. Kentucky’s bourbon and whiskey industry is in a downturn with several distilleries shrinking its workforce and closing a barrel-making plant in Louisville, Kentucky. The future of the reportedly billion-dollar, Black-owned whiskey brand, Uncle Nearest, is in receivership and facing the possibility of being totally taken over.
