A very interesting topic on the latest episode of The Rumcast. I can’t wait to hear the picks. … Posted @withregram • @therumcast New Rumcast is live!
Thanks again to all who listened and voted in our Second Annual Rumcast Fantasy Rum Draft — we reveal this year's champion during the intro for this episode.
After revealing the champion (and a bit of gloating from one of us), we get to our latest experiment: investing 6 inexpensive rums we normally would either overlook or outright reject to see if we could find some diamonds in the rough!
We each selected 3 rums under ~$20 that we had either never tried or couldn't remember trying and then put them through a series of tasting to see if we could find any pleasant surprises along the way.
Despite being lesser known and far less expensive rums, we found a lot worth discussing and hope that you find it worth your time as well. Cheers!

I've been loyal to Count Chocula since 1971, but I had to try this year's new monster cereals after the introduction of the groundbreaking Carmella Creeper (caramel apple with monster marshmallows), a long-lost Zombie cousin of Franken Berry. She's the first ever @generalmills female monster and reportedly the very first female cereal mascot created as a mascot. Carmella is also orchestrating the 50th anniversary of the Monster Mash Remix, a mash-up featuring all the monsters in one box. I'm endorsing both as worthy additions to the classic lineup. Find out more at MonstersCereal.com and also check out @thirty20eight podcast 280 for a deep dive into Monster Cereal lore.

Pick up Exotica Moderne #20 from @houseoftabu at HouseOfTabu.com before it sells out! Cover art by @tom_thordarson_thor and cool articles on @official_beachbumberry and @latitude29nola, @tongahut, @theventureslive, plus lots more. The "Cocktail Hour" page features a special treat: Berry's doubly deadly Deep Six. It exceeded our high expectations with fantastic, classic flavors. Sorry we don't have the namesake bowl, but you can buy it online and check out the recipe at BeachbumBerry.com. Instead, we stayed in theme with a half serving in a first edition Piranha mug from Trader Sam’s.

Mahalo for your dedication and hard work! … Posted @withregram • @archipelagobardc Back in 2015, a couple guys emptied their change jars, maxed out several credit cards and built a bar they wanted to exist in the world. It was never easy, we didn’t always get it right but we put a lot of ourselves into this space and this thing we created from nothing. It was perfectly imperfect and we will truly miss it and everyone that loved it.
