We Like Drinking Podcast


The truth is, most of us don't just drink one type of drink, we enjoy all kinds of adult beverages. The majority of the podcast and blogging world, however, sees the world through their own myopic drinking glasses. It's either all beer, all wine, or all spirits, in other words, they're boringly singular. We Like Drinking recognizes that the drink you crave depends on the situation, environment, mood and a host of other things. This podcast works hard to have fun first and maybe teach you something about your favorite drinks.

Apr 27, 2018

In this episode we’ll be discussing mixing an Old Fashioned, Sazeracs, and Shrub District with Don Morton. So crack open your beer, uncork that wine, and let’s get drinking.
