#096 - The Charter Oak & Juicy Bits
In episode 96 of the Sipping Social Podcast, Mike, Garrett, and Johnny settle into the Underground Studio for an afternoon of drinks, restaurant talk, and plenty of laughs. The crew catches up on local restaurant changes, plans for The Office, and the possibilities of buying a neighborhood barbecue spot. They also discuss industry news and how football season and playoff baseball shape business behind the bar. From checking IDs to spotting suspicious drink orders, the guys share stories and observations from life in hospitality. This episode’s tastings feature WeldWerks Juicy Bits IPA, which earns some of their highest praise yet, and Old Charter Oak bourbon from Buffalo Trace. Recent food adventures bring street tacos, Oktoberfest beers, and favorite sandwich spots into the conversation. To wrap things up, a complicated Uber Eats order sparks a candid discussion about dietary requests, customer complaints, and the challenges of keeping everyone happy.
