Episode 50 - Bourbon Battle + A Familiar Face Returns

Episode 55 - PorchFest Takes Over Newnan

This week on The Local Pour, we welcomed two of the organizers behind Newnan PorchFest to talk all about the upcoming event and what the community can expect this year. We dove into how PorchFest came together, what makes it special for Newnan, and why this event has become such a big deal for local music, local businesses, and the community atmosphere. No Pour of the Week this episode — we kept the focus on PorchFest and everything coming up around it. If you’ve been curious about PorchFest or planning on going, this is the episode for you.

Behind Bars at The Whiskey Prison

This week The Local Pour went on location to Southern Grace Distilleries — home of The Whiskey Prison in Mount Pleasant, North Carolina. Daniel and James sat down with Thomas — owner, board member, and founding partner — to talk bourbon, the history behind Whiskey Prison, what makes the distillery unique, and the passion that built it from the ground up. This isn’t a normal episode — it’s a laid-back sit down inside one of the most unique bourbon destinations we’ve ever visited. If you love bourbon, good stories, and hearing from the people behind the bottle, this one’s for you. 🥃 Huge thank you to Southern Grace Distilleries, Whiskey Prison, and 73 & Main for the hospitality and the tour. 🌐 https://www.whiskeyprison.com [https://www.whiskeyprison.com] 🌐 https://73andmain.com [https://73andmain.com] Follow The Local Pour: Facebook • Instagram • TikTok • YouTube • Spotify • Apple Podcasts #TheLocalPour #WhiskeyPrison #SouthernGraceDistilleries #Bourbon #NorthCarolinaBourbon #Podcast #BourbonPodcast #OnLocation #73AndMain

Episode 54 - We Put a Wine Filter on Bourbon…

This week we tried Effie Jewel from local distillery Doc Brown Farm & Distillers — but that wasn’t the only thing we tested. We decided to try out the Üllo wine purifier/filter system… even though it’s made for wine. Naturally, we ignored that part and ran bourbon through it anyway to see what would happen. We also teased Daniel and James’ upcoming trip to Mount Pleasant to visit Southern Grace Distilleries, hit our usual Cheers & Jeers, and had a few laughs along the way. Just another normal episode of questionable decisions and good pours. 🍻

Episode 53 - Did FB Live Break The Local Pour?

Episode 53 was supposed to be productive… and somehow we still ended up completely off the rails. 😂 This week the guys rated 3 bourbons under $30 to see if cheap bourbon can actually hold its own. Along the way we attempted to recap the Kentucky Derby, attempted to talk Cinco de Mayo, and attempted FB Live again… which turned into its own disaster as usual. Between technical problems, chaos behind the scenes, and Daniel pushing buttons he probably shouldn’t have touched, tensions may have finally boiled over. So now the real question is… will Eddie even be back next episode? 👀🥃 Grab a drink and enjoy another completely unorganized episode of The Local Pour.

Episode 52 - Derby Talk, Woodford Pour & Ken Pulls Up 🍻

Episode 52 — We kept it easy this week. Talked a little Kentucky Derby, poured up Woodford Reserve Kentucky Derby Bottle for our Pour of the Week (same bourbon, just a fancy label), and had a listener stop by and hang out — shoutout to Ken for pulling up. Somehow we didn’t even realize we had a mic issue until editing… so yeah, that happened. Other than that, it’s just the usual back-and-forth, laughs, and a couple drinks with the guys. Cheers 🥃
