Comments Will Be Back
The comments people have left are coming back. We are in the process of converting them over from an old system to a new. In the mean time you can still comment and we would love for you to do exactly that. The new comments will be combined with the old.

Monday, January 26, 2009
The redesign is up, but you will notice some bugs that need to be worked out. The main thing is getting all the old comments into the new system. They should be loaded soon.
Continue reading...Best Bourbon Bars: The Remington
Wednesday, January 21, 2009
There are nights when nothing sounds better than meeting up with your buddies for late night bourbon drinking. The hard part comes in trying to find a drinking establishment with a decent selection of bourbon. To help, The Boys of Bourbon is beginning a series of reviews chronicling the best places in America to drink bourbon. The first is called The Remington at the St. Regis Hotel in Houston.

Thursday, June 12, 2008
From the now for something completely different realm, Beam Global (they make Jim Beam and a number of the smaller batch bourbons we have reviewed) has launched an entirely different ad campaign called “The Stuff Inside.” The premise, while simple, is actually pretty deep and has nothing to do with bourbon. They are spotlighting people [...]

Saturday, March 15, 2008
While not 100% reliable, a good rule of thumb is: Bars with a human skeleton riding a motorcycle on top of their bar are a good place to drink bourbon.

Saturday, March 15, 2008
Make a baby boomer happy, drink Old Charter in a room that smells of rich mahogany. I decided to try a taste of Old Charter on a recent trip to see my parents.

Saturday, March 15, 2008
It should be no surprise that a political town like D.C. has a place or two with a decent bourbon selection, but none is better than the aptly named Bourbon.

Tuesday, March 11, 2008
Thanks to Uncrate for the heads up on Wild Turkey’s new “super premium” bourbon. This must be the next logical step in the small batch bizarro arms race. Who knows if this stuff is any good (and full disclosure I am not a big Wild Turkey fan) but the bottle is definitely cool. [...]

Just a heads up to check out Mark Gillespie’s podcast. He does a 15-20 minute podcast that is very informative for anyone interested in either bourbon or whiskey. You can check it out at www.whiskycast.com. порно фото в очках трахают малолетку видео ебли смотреть

Thursday, March 6, 2008
We have converted over to a new comment system. Intense Debate has a great set of features. It will do a better job of filtering out spam, and tracking comments. It also keeps track of frequent commenters if you sign in to the service. So start commenting and get on the front page of [...]

Thursday, January 17, 2008
"I'm not going to lie that smells like pure gasoline." Those are the words that go through your head when you pull the wax off the top of a bottle of Booker's. I guess I should have known to expect a stout bourbon when the guy working the cash register at the bottle store said I better buy some bottled water to go with it. Some background info is in order.

Tuesday, December 4, 2007
The NY Times has a very informative feature about the rise in bourbon’s popularity. For the new bourbon drinker or the experienced taster, the story is worth taking a look at for an overview of the industry. Their ratings were a little surprising mostly in who did not make the cut, but they rated highly [...]

Sunday, November 18, 2007
While private label wine makers like Crush Pad received a great deal of attention, a small distillery in New York is giving whiskey afficiandos a similar opportunity. According to the Tuthilltown Gristmill’s website, customers select a from a few different options (bottle size, barrel, materials, and more) and the distillery handles the rest. After [...]

Tuesday, October 23, 2007
I was at Central Market today to restock my beer supply after a run on the Saint Arnold’s over the weekend. Luckily I ran into a very knowledgeable staffer who asked what I was looking for. I had been contemplating getting one of those German mini-kegs that are getting more and more popular. Luckily he [...]

Monday, October 22, 2007
We had been talking about going to The MusicFest at Steamboat Colorado but once again waited too long to make travel arrangements. It is once again sold out early. Doh! For those lucky enough to have made travel arrangements it should be a great week of Texas music. This is where we heard the Doug [...]

We are still in the process of updating the site. The main issues left are: A.) Converting our author profile pages B.) Finishing the design it self C.) Fixing the contact page D.) Separating the bourbon reviews from the American whiskey reviews Should be all set within a week or so.

Saturday, October 20, 2007
People who live in Houston and Austin are very fortunate to have perhaps the best liquor and wine store in the world. There are a number of smaller Spec’s all over Texas, but Austin and Houston both have one huge location that is a wonderful marriage of liquor, wine, and upscale grocery store. While the [...]

Saturday, October 20, 2007
If you are into the “Texas Music” scene do yourself a favor and checkout the Bart Crow Band. Their sound is similar to Cross Canadian Ragweed or the Randy Rogers Band. Their first complete album, Finally, dropped in April. They seem to be pushing the Driftin’ In The Wind track, instead of the much better [...]

Thursday, October 18, 2007
Several new reviews should be post soon, including a look at Woodford Reserve. We will also be splitting the whiskey reviews into their own category. karela

Thursday, October 18, 2007
To steal a line from Doug Moreland, when trying to answer the question "What did you think of the 'only vintage bourbon' being made?" I have to say "well let me see, let me think..." Here's the thing: this is not a bad bourbon. In fact it is pretty good. But for all of the fuss they make about it being a vintage bourbon, you would think it would sing a song and dance with you.
