Additive-Free Tequila
April 28, 2023 11:00 - 1 hour - 57.5 MBHere at Barrel to Bottle, we’re big proponents of tasting blind. We’re also big proponents of additive-free tequilas, which are becoming more and more popular with consumers. Without a government oversight body, it’s up to producers disclosing it and tequila fans tracking it. Pat has brought nine blanco tequilas and two reposado tequilas. Additive-free, no crap on tap, all bangers. Blind taste along at home with the following additive-free tequilas Tequila Ocho Plata Don Fulano Blan...

Get Your Glass in Gear - The Importance of Beer Glassware
April 14, 2023 11:00 - 54 minutes - 75.6 MBThis isn’t the first time we’ve discussed the importance of glassware. But today we’re doing a deeper, more scientific dive specifically on beer glasses. We at Barrel to Bottle firmly believe you should always drink your beer out of a glass. But will one of those straight-sided pint glasses suffice, or is it worth spending some money on a beer glass that had fluid dynamics test performed on it? We’re here to definitively answer that question today. Roger brought in three beer glasses tha...
Binny's Wine Legend Gregory Fulham
April 07, 2023 11:00 - 50 minutes - 46.4 MBThis week on Barrel to Bottle, we’re sitting down with retiring wine consultant Gregory Fulham. Gregory has been with Binny’s for the better part of the last four decades. In that time, he’s become both a Binny’s institution and a Hyde Park institution. In celebration of his retirement, we’re opening wines from two of his favorite varieties: Riesling and Port. Donnhoff Niederhauser Hermannshohle Riesling Spatlese 2019 – This one is still a baby, but it’s drinking great. You could also sit...
Any Port (Cocktail) in the Storm
March 31, 2023 11:00 - 54 minutes - 49.8 MBThis is a Chris episode, which means it’s esoteric but fun and someone will probably get well actually’d. What's more esoteric than port cocktails? It's probably not as far-fetched as you think though. We cracked open a bottle of Clark & Sheffield 10-Year-Old Tawny Port for these cocktails that range from simple to complicated and would be perfect for Elevenses, brunch or even a night cap. Check out all the cocktail recipes on our blog. The Q&A portion of Barrel to Bottle is back this w...

What the Hell Does That Taste Like? vol. 3 pt. 1
March 17, 2023 11:00 - 55 minutes - 51 MBIt’s time once again to answer the world’s oldest question, “What the Hell Does That Taste Like?” Have you ever seen a bottle of some wine, beer or spirit at Binny's and wondered what it is? This is the episode for you. And because Pat can’t help himself, this ended up being a two parter.

Dingle Distillery
March 10, 2023 12:00 - 57 minutes - 53 MBElliot Hughes of is the managing distillery director for Dingle Distillery. What started as a bar outside of Dublin has become a distillery in Dingle, in the southwest corner of Ireland. Dingle is far-flung, but it’s also a popular tourist destination with mild weather perfect for aging whiskey. Dingle’s yearly releases pay homage to the town’s connection to Celtic pagan traditions, which include various festivals, equinoxes and solstices. This week on Barrel to Bottle we sampled: Dingl...
The Gang Picks a Fight With America's Dad, Tom Hanks
March 03, 2023 12:00 - 58 minutes - 53.8 MBThe last time we took on a major celebrity and their absurd cocktail, it was Stanley Tucci’s shaken Negroni with vodka. Things didn’t so great for The Tooch, but will America’s Dad fare better? Earlier this year, Jim sent the group an article about Tom Hanks appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. Hanks is not a big drinker, but he will add a splash of champagne to his Diet Coke. And that’s how an episode topic is born. If you have a question for the Barrel to Bottle Crew, emai...
Whisky Advocate Top 20 of 2022 Bonus Episode: Pat's Unobtanium and Unsure What It Is
February 28, 2023 12:00 - 11 minutes - 10.6 MBWhenever Pat brings bottles in for an episode, you can safely assume he's going to bring way more than we can ever get to. After tasting through the Whisky Advocate Top 20 of 2022, Pat pulled out two mystery bottles; something he would have added to the list, and something he's not quite sure what it is but it has a memorable taste.
Whisky Advocate Top 20 of 2022
February 24, 2023 12:00 - 57 minutes - 52.5 MBOnce again, we're running down the list of Whisky Advocate's top 20 whiskies of the year and sampling the ones we have available.

Your Mixological & Gastronomical Tour of New Orleans
February 17, 2023 12:00 - 1 hour - 56.5 MBThis is probably our most ambitious episode ever. We’ll be eating well-known New Orleans dishes, along with Abita beer, and then making New Orleans cocktails and pairing them with paczkis. We apologize in advance for all the mouth noises. Abita is the classic New Orleans beer and a lot of their offerings pair great with local cuisine. Mardi Gras Bock is a more of a Maibock than a doppelbock, which makes it a clean, easy-drinking beer. It pairs perfectly with the shrimp étoufée, red beans &...
Guigal Wines with Patrick Will
February 10, 2023 12:00 - 55 minutes - 51.1 MBAs the premiere producer in the Rhone, you would assume Guigal has been around for centuries. Guigal is in their third generation, which is relatively young for the Rhone and France overall. Joining us today is Patrick Will, brand development director at Vintus, importer of Guigal. He has worked with the Guigal family for 26 years. featuring these wines: Guigal Cotes du Rhone White 2021 Guigal Cotes du Rhone Red 2018 Guigal Condrieu 2019 Guigal Crozes Hermitage 2019 Guigal Sain...

January 20, 2023 12:00 - 52 minutes - 48 MBWe used to tackle listener questions on a regular basis, but over the years the episodes kept getting longer and longer.

Dry January 2023
January 13, 2023 12:00 - 56 minutes - 51.6 MBWe haven’t done a Non-Alc episode in two years, and a lot has changed in that time. The entire category has exploded; not only are there more options than ever, but the options are better than they’ve ever been. This week, Roger, Alicia, and Pat have brought the newest and best options for Dry January and beyond in beer, wine, and spirits.

More Damn Fine Coffee Beers
January 06, 2023 12:00 - 43 minutes - 40.3 MBCoffee: the original beer adjunct before that became a dirty word. We only just did a coffee episode in late 2022 but there are so many coffee stouts being released, especially in the winter months, that it makes sense to do another one. This time in addition to drinking coffee beer, and the coffee these beers are made with, Roger has baked several cookies that pair great with the beer and the coffee. Half Acre Big Hugs Lagunitas Willettized Coffee Stout Goose Island Bourbon County ...

December 23, 2022 12:00 - 45 minutes - 41.9 MBIt’s time for the Barrel to Bottle Pick(s) of the Year. For the first time ever, we have seven people on mics, so it should be obvious why we had to split this into two episodes.

December 21, 2022 12:00 - 13 minutes - 12 MBIt's time to check back in on Chris and Pat's respective aged eggnogs. We last checked in on these over a year ago, but how are they now? Will the Barrel to Bottle Crew survive or is this the last episode?

Shattering Wine Myths
December 02, 2022 12:00 - 1 hour - 58 MBThere are a lot of guidelines and rules around drinking wine that may or may not apply anymore and Lincoln Park wine manager Ben is here to smash them. Or confirm them. Shatter some myths with the following wines: Crossbarn by Paul Hobbs 2019 Stadt Krems Gruner Veltliner Kremstal 2021 Vietti Barbera d’Asti Tre Vigne 2020 Chateau Peyrabon Haut Medoc 2009 Laurent-Perrier Harmony If you have a question for the Barrel to Bottle Crew, email us at [email protected], or reach out t...
Keeper's Heart Irish American Whiskey
November 25, 2022 12:00 - 53 minutes - 49.4 MBBrian Nation (formerly of Midleton) and David Perkins (formerly of High West) are two heavy hitters in the spirits industry. So, Pat was quite shocked when he heard that an upstart distillery in Minnesota had hired both of them, he had to check them out. That lead him to Keeper’s Heart, where they’re making Irishized American Whiskey and Americanized Irish Whiskey. Right now, Keeper’s Heart is sourcing bourbon and rye from MGP in Indiana. Since last year they’ve also been laying down their...

Damn Fine Coffee Beers
November 11, 2022 12:00 - 54 minutes - 50.3 MBCoffee. It’s probably one of the most popular adjuncts in craft beer. Most of the coffee Roger drinks is through beer because he’s a tea guy. But he assembled some coffee guys for today’s episode. Then he picked some great coffee beers and also sourced the coffee used in the beers so we could try it all side-by-side. Drink along at home with the following beers: AleSmith Speedway Stout AleSmith Barrel Aged Vietnamese Speedway Stout Founders KBS Founders Maple Mackinac Fudge KBS ...

November 04, 2022 11:00 - 47 minutes - 43.8 MBMarsha Milam is one of the founders of Milam & Greene, a Texas distillery that makes their own juice, but also blends and ages sourced liquid.

Whiskey Hotline Handpicked Scotch
October 28, 2022 11:00 - 56 minutes - 51.9 MBPat loves Scotch. Scotchy Scotch Scotch. We haven’t done an episode on Handpicked Scotches in a while, so to recap the process: Brett, and sometimes Pat and Joe, travel to Scotland once or twice a year and visit as many distilleries as possible every day. If it’s at an independent bottler, the entire day is spent crawling around in barrel warehouses picking casks they want to try. Binny’s has carefully cultivated relationships with independent bottles going back nearly twenty years. What...
Bourbon County Stout 2022 Preview
October 20, 2022 09:00 - 52 minutes - 47.8 MBIt’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 line-up. We took copious notes and then raced back to the Barrel to Bottle Studios to record this episode. Goose Island Bourbon County Stout – The original always changes slightly and this year, like last, it was a mixture of Heaven Hill, Wild Turkey and Buffalo Trace barrels, bu...
B2B TMZ Celebrity Tequila Edition
October 14, 2022 11:00 - 1 hour - 95.4 MBCelebrities, they love tequila just like you! They love tequila so much in fact that they started their own brand of tequila! Sixteen to be exact, or at least that’s what we have today, in our blind tasting of 16 celebrity tequilas. Blind is best, that’s what the Whiskey Hotline always says. It’s the only honest way to taste anything, so leave your preconceived notions at the door! As the Barrel to Bottle crew tastes along at home, blind, Future Pat will tell you the listener which tequila...
What's New in Beer and Cider
October 07, 2022 11:00 - 55 minutes - 50.5 MBWe’ve done new wines and new spirits, so obviously we’re following the rule of threes and doing an episode on new beers (and ciders). This category is very different though. New beers and ciders come and go so quickly. In craft beer, it’s “sure this is great but what have you got that’s new?” There’s constant turnover as more and more breweries have abandoned the concept of year-round and seasonal flagships. But Roger was undeterred and found six beers and two ciders that should be stickin...
What's New in Spirits
September 30, 2022 11:00 - 52 minutes - 48.3 MBOnce again, Pat was asked at the last minute to assemble a spirits podcast on a Friday afternoon. And once again, he assembled enough bottles for four podcast episodes. Last week, we covered wines that are new to stores but might have fallen through the cracks because of the sheer volume of product we receive. The spirits category is no different; we see thousands of new products every year from Irish Whiskey, Tequila, Mezcal, Bourbon…the list goes on. We’re going to set the timer for 50 m...
What's New in Wine
September 23, 2022 13:16 - 1 hour - 59.9 MBBinny’s has a lot of wine. A LOT. This year, we’re on pace to add over 4,000 new wines. That means you could come into Binny’s every day for a year, buy a mixed case, and not taste the same wine twice. There’s no way around it though, some of this stuff is going to fly under the radar. We can’t talk about all of it, so this week Chris put together a tasting of 9 wines that are worth checking out. Drink along at home with the following wines: Pierre Boniface Les Rocailles Apremont 2021 ...
Whiskey Hotline Handpicked Sleepers
September 16, 2022 11:00 - 1 hour - 64.7 MBMost of the time when a Binny’s Handpicked Single Barrel comes in, it’s gone within a few weeks. Sometimes even quicker. The good news is the Whiskey Hotline picks hundreds of barrels every year, and because of there are a lot of hidden gems that get lost in the shuffle. Pat brought Joe, and a box of hidden Irish Whiskey, Bourbon, Rye, Armagnac, Rum and Scotch gems. The Binny’s name goes on these bottles because the Whiskey Hotline is excited about them. They turn down barrels all the tim...

Vienna Lagers
September 02, 2022 11:00 - 43 minutes - 39.7 MBUsually, the beer styles near and dear to Roger’s heart get no love. That’s not the case this week, as we delve into Vienna Lagers. Over the last few years, several local breweries have added Vienna Lagers to their line-ups. There are also some craft stalwarts that you might not have even realized were Vienna Lagers. If you’re a fan of Oktoberfest beers, and want them year-round, you’ll love Vienna Lagers. Viennas and Märzens were created at essentially at the same time, by a pair of frien...
Kolo'a Rum with Bob Gunter
August 26, 2022 11:00 - 57 minutes - 52.9 MBMahalo! Here at Barrel to Bottle, we’ve been touting rum for years. This week, we’re sitting down with Bob Gunter, President and CEO of Kolo’a Rum. Hawaii’s remoteness presents challenges in sourcing equipment and ingredients. Environmental standards in Hawaii also mean using molasses for the rum is not a viable option. Drink along at home with the following rums: Koloa Kaua'i White Rum Koloa Kaua'i Coconut Rum Koloa Kaua'i Gold Rum Koloa Kaua'i Dark Rum Koloa Kaua'i Spiced Rum ...
Man, It's a Hot One (Hot Sauce Pairings)
August 19, 2022 11:00 - 1 hour - 68.3 MBThe Barrel to Bottle Crew has never shied away from spicy food, so it’s kind of hard to believe it’s taken us this long to do a hot sauce episode. Jenna recently attended a hot sauce festival, which Greg was prevented from going to by his significant other, and she brought back a slew of sauces, then added some of her own, along with one from producer Jim. The plan is simple: crack open a selection of beers, wines and spirits and sample sauces from mild to hottest and attempt to find which...
As Drank on TV
August 12, 2022 11:00 - 51 minutes - 47.4 MBChances are, if you make a pop culture reference on Barrel to Bottle, Jim will laugh at it, off mic. Tapping into his vast knowledge of useless information, Jim has crafted seven fictional cocktails from TV (and one book). From small town Indiana to medium city Pennsylvania to a bar where everybody knows your name to the deepest reaches of space, these cocktails are definitely liquid and they won't make you sick. Before the cocktails though, a little house cleaning; the Barrel to Bottle C...
Booze in the News - Talkin' Vino
August 05, 2022 11:00 - 44 minutes - 61.6 MBEvery day at Binny’s, our inboxes are flooded with beverage alcohol news. This week, we’re going to look at some of the latest word in wine in a new series we’re calling Booze in the News. This week, we'll cover two newly created American Viticultural Areas, in Oregon and California. We'll also look into the state of Napa Valley as more and more family-owned wineries sell to large corporations. Finally, there's a new trend on Tik-Tok, fresh cut jalapeõs in rosé: gross or great?

Barrel to Bottle 269th Episode Spectacular
July 29, 2022 11:00 - 1 hour - 57.3 MBIt’s that time again…time for the Barrel to Bottle crew and producer Jim to take a break from podcasting. Luckily, we’ve been compiling clips from episodes that ran too long, segments that felt out-of-place and montages galore! But these clips are no mere castoffs. They are artfully curated segments that let the Barrel to Bottle crew dig deeper, get more esoteric, or say “Smooj” way too many times in a ten-minute span. If you have a question for the Barrel to Bottle Crew, email us at com...
