We're back with another episode, and this week Gary breaks out the Old Forester Statesman to celebrate his retirement while David comes through on his promise to drink pumpkin beers with Urban Artifact Jack.

Old Forester Statesman is a 95 proof bourbon crafted from hand-selected casks of Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whisky, featuring bold flavors of pepper, cinnamon, citrus, and spice. Originally released as a tie-in with the movie “Kingsman: The Golden Circle,” it has since become a permanent offering.

Urban Artifact Jack is an American Fruit Tart with a 7.7% ABV, packed with real pumpkin and pie spices. This medium amber beer offers a delightful blend of seasonal flavors, making it a standout choice for fall.

We also discuss Gary's retirement, David getting back-to-back VIP experiences, and Ohio Craft Beer proposing a state license plate.
