This week, Brian steps outside the usual beer-focused format to welcome two cocktail-forward guests who, if you know, you know, are staples of Madison's mixology community. Brian is joined by Martin and Jen, the hosts behind The Gin Pennant, an invite-only passion project that transforms their home into a cozy, speakeasy-style cocktail lounge. Over a couple of beers, they talk about the inspiration behind their unique gatherings, the joy of creating memorable experiences, and their love of classic cocktails (and jazz vinyl). Along the way, Martin mixes up two Gin Pennant favorites, the “Juste Le Bout” and the “Irish Setter” making this a fun conversation for beer lovers, cocktail enthusiasts, and anyone who appreciates good drinks and great hospitality.

Thanks, and as always… Cheers Beers!
