Description
Chicago's preeminent podcast on all drinks distilled, brewed or cocktailed. At least that's our opinion! We're the Chi Spirits Guys - friends in the Windy City dedicated to trying the best (and worst) spirits on the market and attempting (often failing) to explain the flavors we taste. Each week we share our thoughts (and probably too much personal info) with our listeners in Chi-town and beyond. You can't sip it all, so let us do it for you! Check out our library of episodes to find your new favorite drink. Send us your ideas and questions @ChiSpiritsGuys (Insta) or ChiSpiritsGuys@gmail.com
