S2Ep15: May The Forth Be With You; Alive at the BitHouse Saloon in Portland, Oregon

This week we are all over the place, nothing here or there.   May 4th, 2016 join us at the Bit House Saloon!

S2Ep14: All over the place

The boys are back from an extended hiatus. Hey, life get's in the way sometimes.  We are back in a bad way with tasting of new (at least to us) gin Hayman Old Tom and Royal Dock also from Hayman Distillers.  Neil also talks up the South Waterfront gem (no really, it's worth the trip) Muselet. Coquine and Pine Street Market also make an appearance.  

S2Ep13: It's a gin type of night

This week Neil takes on the San Francisco and Oakland's best dim sum and dive bars.  Eddie discovers there is amazing food to be had in Scottsdale at Virtù and Woodford Reserve's barrel aged cherry bitters.

S2Ep12: Back to the Bay

This week Eddie and Neil are finally in the same room together!  We start the night off at The Bit House Saloon and finish it off drinking some fantastic Vermouth's from one of our favorite wine/distillers Ransom. We also taste test Bitter Truth Elderberry Liquor and Famosinha Deminas Cachaça. Detours are also taken to Pizzeria Otto, Kachka, and La Moule! This is a fun one, y'all!

S2Ep11: Getting the band back together

This week Eddie and Neil get all caught up, announce some heartbreaking news.  Cocktail of the weeks is inspired by the Black Manhattan featured on www.cookindineout.com using Banal instead of Italian Amaro.  We also talk Portland restaurants Ate Oh Ate, Roe, Taylor Railworks, Ott's special and Strubuck's devil worshipping non-Christian cups!    

S2Ep10: Ate Oh Ate and Heartbreaks

This week the boys are drinking a fantastic cocktail, The Knew Fashioned, coined by Reuben Gaeta, the bar master at D-Vine Bistro in Chandler Arizona.   Neil takes us through another trip to Vegas... this time hitting up crazy off-off-off-off The Strip places and we navel gaze about Eddie's return to Portland.

S2Ep9: We barely knew ya....

This week the boys take you to brand new mussel and frites spot La Moule, which is now one of Neil's favorite spots!

S2Ep8: Mussels and Frites

This week we bring you a "lost" episode recording in July 2015.  This week the boys bring you some amazing finds from the City of Portland as well as Phoenix, Arizona!  We cover an amazing rear wine made with the elusive Tintilla grape, Arizona Wilderness Brewing Company, Earnest Restaurant in Chandler, Arizona, Portland spots nodoguro, Mae, Fenrir, and even a couple spots from across the Columbia in Vancouver, Washington, Khun Jo's and Taste of Sichuan!

S2Ep7: The Lost Episode

This week Neil and Eddie are getting tipsy off some summer cooling takes on the classic Gin and Tonic.  The boys also talk about Neil's favorite new spot The Bit House Saloon and an amazing meal over at the new eastside spot Coquine.  Eddie gets ready to take his family to Disneyland and all the anxiety that comes with it.  We also hook up a listener with Chef Chris Starkus of Urban Farmer.  Chef hooked them up with a VIP experience they'll never forget!

S2Ep6: No Booze in the Happiest Place On Earth

After a summer hiatus the boys are back!  Tonight we are drinking some ugly concoction from Absolut that pairs vodka with white wine and carbonation. One hell of a headache follows.  Remember kids, we do this so you don't have to!   Neil also has been on a tear through the city of Portland with a spectacular showing at hot spot Ox.

S2Ep5: Absolut Bulls**t

This week we cool you down with a couple of cocktails featuring fresh watermelon and a lot of off topic chatter.

This week, Eddie and Neil finish up our trip to south of the border libations. Â Mezcal and Soltol are on the menu and we learn all about them. Â Also - Drink of the week! Â The Spanish Harlem (which I found out, I did not invent).

This week Eddie and Neil are back in the same town, at least for a moment. Â We check out Thai Garden Thai Cart (Cart Pod at SE 102nd and Stark. Watch out for stray bullets!), Multnomah Whiskey Library and an amazing Tequila tasting at Mi Mero Mole by the tequila guru himself, Paublo Portilla.
