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.

This week on episode 319 of the We Like Drinking podcast we’ll be airing grievances, playing some drinking games, and we are getting down with some killer spirits with Chad Solomon of Cooper Spirits … so crack open that beer, uncork that wine, and let’s get drinking!

Panel Introductions And What We’re Drinking

  • Tonight we’re joined by our usual panel members, we have our California Sustainable Winegrowing Ambassador and recovering Wine Blogger, Jeff Solomon, our commercial brewer and snake wrangler, John Ruyak, and I’m your host and certified specialist of wine, Jeff Eckles.
  • Our guest this week is the Director of Trade Advocacy and Innovation for The Cooper Spirits Company. He is here this week to specifically talk about the third bottling of their Hochstadter’s Vatted Straight Rye Whiskey.  A unique whiskey where multiple single malts are blended together in a vat to create new and complex flavors. Please help us welcome, Chad Solomon.
