This week, Dan takes a deep dive into the bizarre, the baffling, and the downright ridiculous world of alcohol branding. Ever perused a liquor store shelf and thought, “Who the hell greenlit that name?” Well, you’re not alone. Dan’s rounding up some of the most questionable monikers in booze history, including Fat Bastard Wine (perfect for your next passive-aggressive dinner party), Bishop’s Finger Beer (which sounds either deeply religious or wildly inappropriate), and Pucker—a liqueur that’s one letter away from being the most honest marketing campaign of all time.
But that’s not all, folks! Back by popular demand, it’s the return of Drinks of the Week! That’s right, Dan cracks open some whiskey, uncorks some wine, and bravely tests a few canned cocktails so you don’t have to. Will he discover a hidden gem? Will he be deeply, deeply disappointed? Will he mispronounce a fancy French varietal and refuse to correct himself? Tune in and find out.
