I own El Gordo's Bloody Mary and red beer mix out of Las Cruces NM. We make our mix with famous Hatch NM red chili. Hit me up if you want to try it, and I'll ship you some out. Would love to hear your professional opinion of our product. Mixes well with vodka, tequila, or just beer.

I keep seeing other tubers trying to do exactly what you do and everything that they do reminds me of everything you’ve done. The Inspiration is real keep up the great work tj.

All I can drink now is Wild Turkey 101 and mix with sprite! My glencarins were broke in the move…..! You sir are bringing me and others so much joy through your channel!👍

I think this was your best video I've seen. Really enjoy seeing the camaraderie hang outs, the spirit of sharing everybody had. And am especially envious of the opportunity you guys have to score so many hard to get items at MSRP. I was starring at those booths drooling, wishing I could grab a Rock Hill Farms or Michters 10!

This was my favorite video of yours. Totally felt like I was along for the ride sharing in the experience. Really glad that KZread recommended your channel to me. I can live vicariously through your videos.

I absolutely love your content, energy and mindset. I hadn't drank bourbon in 20 plus years and within two weeks of regularly watching your channel im collecting bourbons to drink again. Thank you please keep the good work up sir....

TJ this was such a great video, and it looked like such a great time. You didn’t sleep and gave considered reviews after all those pours. I’d have slept for about 18 hours after half of those.

love this as a video idea, I was always a little confused how stuff like this works so now I'm feeling like I should try to get to one of these eventually!

We were in Leeds Alabama Large lot, ABC employees and supervisor came out and took pictures hung out around the fire. We werem1 and 2 in walk-up. Thursday Night about 10 people , Friday Morning about 16. Friday at about noon 20-30 people, by 6-7pm 60 or so, At 6 am Saturday morning 132. 3 campers, 4-5 fire pits tons of bottles and a great time. Like you said tailgating is the best part of it. "I enjoy what happens around the bottle as much as whats in the bottle!!" Great new friends made this year!

So how does the walk up line work when you show up 2 days before the drop? Yall keep a list of people yourself and all come together when the abc store employees start giving out numbers for the walk up line?

Loved this video showing all the great people you meet and everyone enjoying being together even without the sleep. May sound crazy because it is about bourbon but we need more things to bring people together and fellowship considering all the negative things in the world today.

Awesome video. Love the camping out for bottles experience. More videos like these are welcomed.

Bro didn’t bring shit and says “this is how we do” 😂😂😂

It’s so funny, the ladies working the tables don’t seem to care about the fact that they’re handing out some of the best whiskey in the world. Just another work day for them hahahaha Great video though. The tailgating looked amazing!!

Great video, really would have liked to been there in the parking lot hanging out. Great time I am sure. Thank you for taking us along with you

Love the content. It's always worth conversation and alcohol, and hanging out with like folks. Keep it coming.

Thanks for this content, it's entertaining and informative. Wanted to stand in line at the Huntsville one but got some slim Pickens a week later

Great content and thanks for taking us along. Not much I'd camp for, but given what you have to pick from AFTER table 1, Yeah i'd put in a night of tailgating and bourbon sharing for those @ MSRP. In Tampa you'll find: Blantons >$150 Eagle Rare >$75 Stagg >$300 EHT SmallBatch >$140 EHT Single >$320 Rock Hill haven't seen but 1 bottle on a guys shelf not for sale Willett purple top doesn't seem to exist Weller is unobtanium without connections with ABC (not Alabama's version) And unless its a Total Wine select or Lukens reserve pick theres not many store picks.

Honestly I rather wait in line for 24 hours to have a great chance at a couple of rare bottles than hope to get super super lucky and find something at MSRP in store or get even luckier and win one of the occasional store lottos with horrible odds. Here in Chicagoland we usually have to buy bottles to even get into the lotto and finding stuff in stores requires lots of time and driving or really good connections. My Pops and I did both score an Old Rip 10 for MSRP but only because we saw an employee giving his friend the 12 Yr Lot B with a half case in his arms and turn around to quickly put it back and asked for a bottle, he debated for a while and then gave me and my Pops one each. We had asked earlier and they technically should have told us about them but where clearly saving it for friends and told us they had nothing.

the waiting in line/tailgate is the best part! I miss that for black friday shopping and the beer bottle releases we had pre-covid.

Damn I've been subbed since 1k now you are almost at 1M. Congratulations Brewz.

You can get the A Smith Bowman Cask Strength from VABC Lottery as well. Both VABC and the Bowman distillery run lotteries for this bottle.

My kind of folks there. Just ran across this channel some how but I am here for the long haul now. Going to have to come out for these events

Great video! Looks like an awesome experience with some awesome bottles at the end. Cheers 🥃

I love that you love pies and pints. They are a WV original restaurant and they are so good. Spring time comes with an heirloom tomato pizza that is fantastic

Brewzle, my cousin and I found an American single malt that was first bottle that we bought a reserve of. I know how you feel about malt but try Baller by St. George distillery. It reads like an identity crisis but tastes wonderfully complete. If you see it for 50ish bucks consider it. Love the content.

Enjoying Found North pours. A. Smith Bowman Cask Strength is a lottery only item in VA. Rare but can happen to get it at the distillery.

It was probably 4 years ago when I was in Bardstown Ky. at saw some people at the hotel breakfast. Later while on some distillery tours I ran into the same people and we started talking. They were with a Bourbon Society and they invited me to their bottle share at the hotel patio shelter. I had seen them there the past night. I went and it was one of the best nights I ever had.

I really enjoyed this video. Thanks Brewzie!

Wow! My wife and I feel so special. We are the ones who made the Nulu blend for Dan. Thanks for the mention!

Great videos! Waiting for the day I run into you hunting around Columbus! Haha

sitting outside for 24 hours just to get an EH Taylor is craaaazzzzzy! I would rather pay a secondary price and have it shipped to my door. although I truly understand the commoderie you get in line while waiting. I woke up and sat in line at 4am for 5hrs to get a Parkers Heritage and JD special reserve. would do it again !

Got to get a flight pour of the Parkers rye. Loved it, hopefully I can find one in the wild

To me the difference between the cinnamon from amburana and the cinnamon on some rye mashbill bourbon is simply this - Amburana tastes like cinnamon sugar or cinnamon toast crunch. The cinnamon note that rye can impart is more like cinnamon spiced tea or "spiced" anything. The cinnamon from Amburana also just over powers everything. I've put 1 oz of RD1 Amburana into a 750ml bourbon infinity bottle and every sip was still heavily cinnamon toast crunch. It just attacked the palate immediately and it's so sweet it buries all other tasting notes - for me at least.

Really digging the Barrell New Year. Like u said “they can really blend some whiskey”

Yooo, that older gentleman with the teal polo shirt was very hospitable, like the vibe, was not aware of this world. Great video!

Ceces package in Talladega Al, has all types of specialty liquors. I just left there actually and because of you I noticed a lot of their more expensive liquor. They had Elijah Craig small batch select, weller in several varieties including weller 12 year, and several more that I can’t even remember!

Try more varieties of the Buzzards Roost! They have a great toasted rye that’s under $80. I keep buying them to bunker.

I wish I lived closer to you, that looks like a great time!! Tailgating with bourbon, cigars and smoked meat is my kind of thing 😂

I live out near the bowman distillery, if I come across a bowman cask strength anytime in the near future I might just send it your way!

You need to try the Found North Batch 06 17 year. A blend of 17 year - 26 year whiskey. It’s incredible and 87% corn whiskey.

Best times ever dude. Brings me back to the maniac beer share and drop days. We’d have carpeted tents with heaters and have it catered in freaking parking lots. It’s so much fun.

Couldn't agree more!

When you visit VA plan to spend a day in the Charlottesville area to visit the distilleries in the area. Forget the ABC stores. Then head up to Fredericksburg and do the same. You can buy all the JJ Bowman you want and visit more distilleries including the one at Mt Vernon and check out GW's rye recipe.

Just bought my first bottle of Eagle Rare thanks to your videos…and for retail at a local liquor store in western NC! Here’s to the start of an expensive hobby

Man, looks like a great time, I remember times like this when they had Call Of Duty midnight releases. I wish I could have been there for this💪🏾🍂🔥💨🥃💯

All sorts of NC love in this video! Will say I’m not a huge southern star fan though.

Another fun one. Thanks for taking us along.

What's really frustrating living in Georgia is that Alabama people have these state run systems that only they can enjoy, but then come over to Georgia and take up spots in our lines too! Although this state run system does seem like more of a nightmare.

I like the idea of hanging out with good people but I love having the ability to casually walk into a store and find a great bourbon on the shelf when a store drops it. I’ve only had a Texas experience but I’ve grabbed a Hardins Creek Boston and Four Roses SB Store Pick by just finding them on a casual store visit and was fortunate it was when they had a drop.

I won a spot in Madison, and table 2 was easily the hardest table to pick from especially since my first choices were all gone.

Holy crap!!! All that way back in the line and you still got all of those at MSRP??? I'd sleep over and wait in line all day long!!!

Awesome selections!

Great picks…fantastic video..keep them up please

That really looked like fun. Would love to find something like that going on here in California. Never heard about or seen anything like it.

Going back to pies and pints after that advertisement. Dropping the name. Can’t go wrong with beer, root beer and black bean/pine and swine. 😊

I used to camp out for concert tickets in high school. It was so much fun. I recently introduced my son to urban camping for whiskey and it has been a blast. Always great folks sharing pours.

I just completed a 21 hour camp out scored a parkers heritage due to BTAC delay in NC

In Ohio near the Michigan line we have an absolute blast and then we all meet for breakfast afterwards or people bring breakfast burritos and we make them up right there just a real good time with real good people and like you say in the end we all get a bottle always have had good times with good people and living on the Michigan Ohio border is a pretty blessed place for bourbon hunting

So cool, great picks!

This video made me go check what batch My Russel's 13 is that I got at Black Friday and haven't cracked yet. Glad to see it's batch 5 based on the reaction here.

That's a haul worth camping for, to be that late in line and still get that much heat is crazy.

A smith bowman is NOT distillery only. It is either allocated or lottery at VA ABC

I've had like every Bowman release because I've been able to get them cheap frequently and even I haven't had the A Smith Bowman.

Tom, you look like you enjoyed yourself at the tailgate bottle swap. I know I would have. I have been in line at B.T. for their daily release several times, and just talking to other people in line. I would have loved to try some of those bourbon. One bright note, I got the last bottle of Weller 107 sat. at the alloted release at my store.

lol love the thumbnail. Whoever is making these deserves a raise

You have to love this guy.

The fact they had that much is insane. Most of those bottles I’ve never even seen in Wisconsin.

Dang camping is not anything I would usually care to do, but I absolutely would just for that brisket 😂

With a home town shop like this, it's no doubt brewzle got into whiskey

let me tell you i don’t drink beer myself but i could watch this guy for hours

That cask strength bowman that did a lottery this year and you have to pick it up at the distillery. I live near there so I'm always in the lottery but I havent been selected yet.

@Brewzle Love your channel and content. I've always enjoyed bourbon but just started collecting some bottles. Great video idea.... (if youve already done it can you drop the link!?) What would you pay for .... and do a few allocated and or hard to find bottles so some of us newbies dont pass on great deals

Great behind the scenes footage

Nice. Happy New 2024.

Bowman is doing a lottery for the Batch 3 Cask right now, but you got to come to the Distillery and pickup the bottle before Feb 3rd or something like that.
