2025/06/16

Honestly, this book was so good we probably could have just done an entire second episode about it.

Beards, Books, and Bourbon Podcast ·

2025/06/08

In this episode, Stephen and Mark explore the layered, intelligent, and gut wrenching horror novel, "Buffalo Hunter Hunter" by Stephen Graham Jones. A Native American revenge story with a supernatural twist, Buffalo Hunter Hunter is as deep and thought provoking as it is horrific, disgusting, and occasionally hilarious in the most awkward ways. A thought provoking story needs a thought provoking whiskey. To pair with Buffalo Hunter Hunter, Stephen and Mark will be sampling In Lieu of Flowers

Tonight's episode brings us back to fantasy of the gothic kind. Blunder is a cursed kingdom, surrounded by a mist that snatches people into the wood, never to be seen again. All the families of the kingdom are named after trees, and the currency of power comes in the form of a deck of magical playing cards. These cards were made by a long dead king at the price of destroying himself to do it one piece at a time. Tonight we discuss ONE DARK WINDOW by Rachel Gillig. So, that's not morbid or

2025/05/03

Oh, right. It's a dystopian YA novel involving students and probably organized by either Jigsaw or the guy from Seven. Tell the kids what they've won, Bob! They've won DEATH! We're going to need a stiff drink, and we get one with Barmen 1873.

Welcome to dystopian world of the early 20th Century where dragons live alongside humans, everyone is at the brink of war, and the fate of the world is in the hands of a bunch of misfit students being blackmailed into building what might be a doomsday weapon in the novel "A Language of Dragons". So...Tuesday. As our bourbon, Stephen and Mark will be embibing a little alchemy of their own with Dark Arts.

Well, we made it. The end of the third book. There's a lot of twists, turns, love and rage that look eerily similar, the defilement of a throne, broken furniture, broken promises, betrayals in the name of love, and angst angst angst. But now it's over. We can finally relax. We....WHAT DO YOU MEAN THERE ARE TWO MORE BOOKS??? Pass the Ransom Bourbon, please.

There's a moment when you realize that there's something you need to talk about. There's another moment when you realize there just isn't enough time to really talk about it. This is one of those times as we discuss DRAGONS in Iron Flame by Rececca Yarros. Tonight we revisit our old friend, Smoke Wagon Small Batch Straight Bourbon Whiskey.

Beards, Books, and Bourbon Podcast ·

2025/03/18

Once more, Stephen and Mark will dare to enter the Fourth Wing universe, written by Rebecca Yarros. This is book 2 of the series, and if you thought things were wild before, what with all the lightning and exploding bedroom furniture, you're in for another amazing ride. Besgiath War College (not to mention everywhere else) is a dangerous place, and so the guys will need to have some luck on their side on this journey. That's why they're bringing Lucky Seven bourbon with them.

In this episode, Stephen and Mark visit "The Bright Sword" by Lev Grossman. One of our favorite authors, we are so excited to read his latest novel about Camelot after Arthur's final battle and all that was left undone and unfinished. For such a story, it's only appropriate that the boys continue their journey of the 2XO Bourbon label with the French Oak expression.

The guys have never made it a secret about how much they love books written by Blake Crouch. In today's episode, they talk about Crouch's first commercially successful novel, not previously released in the United States. What if, in a single night, half of everyone you knew and loved suddenly no longer saw you as a friend, a lover, a family member? What if they were trying to murder you because they were convinced that you were no longer one of them? A high octane book like this needs something
