Got so many tacos in the belly, I can barely move. Let’s see if writing this newsletter is a decent distraction from the meat-sweats.

Got so many tacos in the belly, I can barely move. Let’s see if writing this newsletter is a decent distraction from the meat-sweats.

First up, we accidentally learned what happens when you fill a used bourbon barrel with beer for a few weeks, empty it, leave it outside, and slowly let it refill with rainwater for 6 months...

Vinegar happens. It’s gross.

We had Spicoli Joe roll the barrel into Rex’s office while he was on the phone.

Supposedly it was an important call. Still smells like vinegar in there.

Next, Rex and Daniel will be on a Facebook LIVE STREAM TODAY - and you are super-invited to join.

When: Friday, Oct. 8th - 5:00pm (central) / 6:00pm (eastern)

Where: https://www.facebook.com/SmoothAmbler

What: They’ll talk shop with the two John’s from Smooth Ambler, whilst enjoying a dose of whisk(e)y and ridiculum. (It’s a real word. I looked it up.)

Allegedly, that same stream may also show up inside the Tribe’s Facebook group at 5:00pm (central). But if you’re not already in the FB group, or would rather go straight to the source of the live stream, you’ll definitely find the lads at...

https://www.facebook.com/SmoothAmbler

They rarely do live streams, and a strong showing of MB’s would mean a lot to the guys - so come hang out if you can!

Time to roll out of here. If you don’t hear from me again next week, just know that I died the way I lived… Tacos.

DOWN THE REDDIT HOLE...
MERCHY MERCH MERCH
Crowded Barrel Magnet


This Crowded Barrel sigil has been imbued with an ability so unique, it will immediately silence any who dare to resist it’s power and Magnificence.

What is the ability, you ask? Brace yourself… It effortlessly sticks to most metals. I'm not even kidding. The finest whisk(e)y scientists and dram wizards have conferred and dubbed the arcane ability, “Magnetic.”

Now THAT’s how you change the game you Magnificent Bastard. BOOM!
