Restauranteur, cocktail artist, modern Whiskey Baron and all around booze industry Renaissance Man, I’m hoping that he also responds well to flattery, because it’s our go-to move during interviews and the cocktails always taste better when they are made with a real smile.

Hello and Welcome to the Boozie Banter Podcast. We thought that we didn’t have enough Brian's involved, so we reached out to the Territory Sales Manager for Sierra Nevada Brewing, Brian Debold. Here at Boozie Banter, we spend most of our time off the trail, deep in the woods and lost in our own thoughts. And drinking. It seems a good match.

Bee Flustered - 3:40
Eden Ciders: Bee Flustered (2014 Harvest)Limited Edition Heirloom Blend ice cider aged in Superstition Meadery cherry mead rye whiskey barrels
METHOD: Naturally cold-concentrated before fermentation in our Vermont winter weather. Arrested fermentation leaves residual sweetness. Ice cider made from heirloom apple varieties and aged 6 months in 2 barrels from Superstition Meadery - originally rye whiskey barrels that they used to aged their cherry mead.
APPLE VARIETIES: Esopus Spitzenberg, Calville Blanc, Hudson's Golden Gem, Roxbury Russet, Blue Pearmain, Baldwin, Mcintosh, Empire, Ashmead's Kernel, Black Oxford, Reine de Reinette, Orleans
TASTING NOTES: Tart cherry, baking spice, oloroso
Meadow Foam - 11:10
Boiler Brewing: Meadow Foam
Meadowfoam is a wildflower native to the Pacific Northwest whose flowers resemble foam in the ocean. But more importantly, the bees that feed from it create a rare honey that tastes like Marshmallow and Vanilla. So, we present to you Meadowfoam Mead! Three ingredients: Meadowfoam Honey, yeast, and water. The result is mead that is sweet and decadent with a Vanilla and Marshmallow character; perfect for your inner Marshmallow character!
Cherry Decadent - 18:30
Moonlight Meadery: Cherry Decadent
Cherry melomel that rested on a bed of roasted cacao. Over a lb of roasted cacao per gallon.
Marionberry - 30:00
Schramm’s: Marionberry
Marionberry is a melomel made purely from Willamette Valley Marion Blackberries. Like our ‘Blackberry’, Marionberry has a full, natural fruit acidity that is balanced by premium Orange Blossom honey sweetness to create an extremely flavorful mead. Very dark in color, the Marionberries provide a jammy, juicy fruit-forward character. This mead has great aging potential for many years, though it’s pure fresh fruit character may make it difficult to leave alone for long.
Marionberry: blackberry developed by the USDA ARS breeding program in cooperation with Oregon State University. A cross between the 'Chehalem' and 'Olallie' varieties. It is the most common form of blackberry cultivated and accounts for over half of all blackberries produced in Oregon.

Rather than the binge drinking, amateur drunk night that is normally an American St. Patrick’s Day, the studio is treated like a true pub where days gone by and hopes for the future are discussed. Bryan and Matt are joined by Sarah to relax into some red beers and chat about the upending of the industry on this day a year ago, how things have adapted, what they see moving forward and discuss their wish list of travel destinations for the coming year.Dublin Drop
Smithwick's - 10:00
· With a refreshingly balanced taste, this is a blend of mild hops, sweet malt, and roasted barley. The gentle bitterness of the hops is perfectly complemented by the sweet, malty notes.
Adnam's - Broadside - 31:50
· Broadside is a dark ruby red beer rich in fruitcake aromas, almonds and conserved fruit.
Lion Bridge Brewing - Olde No. 17 - 41:00
· The official beer of the Cedar Rapids St. Patrick's Day Parade Society (SaPaDaPaSo), and originally brewed to commemorate its 40th anniversary. This is the classic pub stout you know and love with a twist; 100 lbs of organic mashed potatoes were added during the brew to increase the dryness and slightly boost the alcohol. Roasty, with hints of dark chocolate, nuttiness and rich creamy mouthfeel.
Cheese - Jasper Hill - Willoughby - 28:00
As the whisky's start to warm us up, we finish the evening with the last bit of crazy talk with Matt, Jason, Bryan and Tim. We are off to the races!

Welcome to the Boozie Banter Podcast. On a very special episode, Bryan and Matt learn the value of accepting whiskey from all over the world and how that diversity enriches our enjoyment of what many folks call “The Water of Life”. Joined by FOP (friends of the podcast) Tim Grimes #templetonrye and Jason Wallace #merchantduvin, the journey is both circuitous and, when we finally stand up, staggeringly fun.

DTD. Down to drink
Valpolicella
- Defined area near Lago de Garda in north central Italy
- Close to Verona --- In the Veneto
- Name thought to be a mix of Latin and ancient Greek, and translates to “valley of many cellars.”
- Grapes allowed: Corvina, Rondinella, Corvinone, and Molinara
- 4 Styles: Valpolicella, Ripasso, Amarone & Recioto
- Recioto, winemakers pick ripe grapes from vines and let them dry on mats or hanging from rafters throughout the month of January, then vinifying these shriveled grapes and stopping fermentation before all sugars convert to alcohol. These sweet dessert wines have good acidity and a toothsome mouthfeel.
Beverage 1: (7 min) Tomassi Rafael Valpolicella Classico Superiore
- Corvina 60%, Rondinella 25% and Molinara 15%
- Intense nose reveals both floral and fruity tones, with ripe cherries
- From the Rafaèl site, the first vineyard to be bought by the Tommasi family
- Excellent with pasta dishes with rich sauces, roasts and white meats, or moderately aged cheeses. Try it also with spicy Oriental dishes and full-flavored fish soups.
Beverage 2: (15:38 min) Tommasi Valpolicella Ripasso
- A deep, bright ruby red in color, it is rich and intensely spicy on the nose, with notes of cherry jam, tobacco and black pepper. On the palate it is full-bodied yet elegant, with gentle, silky tannins and a very long finish.
- Made by fermenting standard Valpolicella with a pomace of grape skins left over from Recioto and Amarone, Ripasso is double-processed, and its name means “re-pass.”
- These soft, supple, medium-bodied wines combine the sour cherry notes of standard Valpolicella and the soft, bitter, slightly raisined notes of Amarone and Recioto.
Beverage 3: (26:30 min) Monte Del Fra Amarone
- Amarone, whose name translates to “great bitter,” is made by letting those dried grapes from Recioto fully ferment. Amarone is a full-bodied, slightly raisinated wine with a pleasantly bitter finish balanced by hints of dark berries and some cocoa notes. The process came about in the 1930s, as did Ripasso.
- The resting of the grapes lasts for 120 days, depending on the season, until the sugar concentration of the grapes has reached at least 28% – 30%
- Intense with fine tannins, fruity, spices aromas, vanilla, cloves, chocolate, and coffee. Aromas of leather, tobacco, prune, dried berries: a total umami experience.
Medium acidity, with fine tannins and full body. The flavors remain true to the nose. Long finish. Drink now and has beautiful potential of aging for 20 + years.
Beverage 4: (48 min) Peterson Vin Santo
- Made by FOP (Friend of the Podcast), Fred Peterson
- Made from muscat grapes that were fermenting to a very high ABV, blended with a 180 proof Pear Au de Vie made from pear trees on the estate.
Let's talk a wee bit about our favorite Thanksgiving memories as well as some other silly ones as well.... settle in
Thanksgiving and the wine cellar continues.... just after hours. Join us as we pop open a 18 year old Aberlour scotch from way up north in Scotland. The fun continues, but it's after hours so who knows where this will end up.
Join Matt and Bryan as they talk about their favorite memories about Thanksgiving- It wouldn't be boozie banter if they didn't also talk about what they love to pair with your Holiday dinner. Settle in....
Thanksgiving wines and the cellar- Thanksgiving has stood the test of time, did our wines do the same?
Join us as we dig into Bryan’s cellar (and the store) and taste some wines (and some other goodies) that are perfect for the Thanksgiving Holiday. Thanksgiving is a reminder of why some of us started drinking and setting wine aside for all these years. Some turn out really well and some… well not so much- it is a risk/reward we live in when we collect wine. Let’s see how we did…. Settle in.
The banter doesn't stop just because the mic gets turned off- Join us as we continue after hours with Merchant du Vin's Jason Wallace.
A podcast not about dongs or hot dog water! Join us and our guest Jason Wallace from Merchant Du Vin as we talk about what beer is supposed to taste like- Settle in....
With fall in the air, join Matt and Bryan as they banter about booze made with apples- yup you can ferment just about anything.
Oh the samples we receive.. the good, the bad and the ugly. From seltzers to alcoholic frozen push pops, we try all kinds for you! Listen to us as we explain the sometimes intricate rules that surround the world of booze based retail sales while we explore sample to sample. Settle in...
Join us as we have more fun "after the mic is off" with Senior Brand Ambassador Tim Grimes from Templeton Rye.
