Why Whiskey?

Greetings friends! In this episode, I sit down and chat about our new backyard and the latest location of the #BOQLC. Battle Creek Michigan has a fun story to tell from the origin of its name to the crowning of its title of "Cereal City USA". The town served as a health and wellness and also concealed a stop along the Underground Railroad. Come with me as I sip some local whiskies and talk about this quaint little city with a big story. Cheers!

Hi Friends! I have missed you all so much. This is not a typical episode and not launching on a typical day... this is a reintroduction to me and a bit of an explanation for my absence for nearly a year. A LOT has changed! Jesus... so grab a drink and come sit with me and catch up for a few minutes. Regular episodes will launch every other Friday starting on November 11th. Stay Tuned! Cheers.
