Our Mission

At the end of the day, Big Jon and I hope we’ve managed to entertain, if not inform, you.

Since 2018, we’ve been publishing videos devoted to liquor and craft beer. Originally, our mandate was to visit breweries and distilleries, interviewing brewers, distillers, owners, and other assorted unsung talent who make these beverage creators click. Why? Because we find these stories fascinating, and, more importantly, we like to drink. A win-win scenario, right?

However, we soon realized that this model for creating content was both time-consuming and expensive.

Consequently, being both cheap and slackers at heart, we supplemented our behind-the-scenes interviews with beer and whiskey reviews, which at least solved the time-consuming issue.

Shifting to reviews allows us to video multiple episodes in a single day with a single setup.

Of course, the country virtually shutting down for a year during the COVID panic required abandoning distillery and brewery visits entirely. We are, however, slowly reintroducing them.

Because this website is a bit of a vanity project, it also serves as a soapbox for other endeavors, such as the just3things videos and my Clanging Bell posts.
