Did you know graham crackers were created as part of a moral crusade?

In today’s episode of Arsenic Culture, we dive into the strange and surprisingly influential story of Sylvester Graham, a 19th-century reformer who believed bland food could suppress alcohol use, sexual desire, and “immoral” behavior.

From the temperance movement to modern wellness culture, this episode connects the dots between one man’s extreme beliefs and patterns America keeps repeating.

Eggnog season came for us… and we didn’t fight back.

We tasted every type of eggnog we could find, talked about where it actually comes from, and then wrapped it all up with a coquito that made everything before it feel like a warm-up.

Festive? Yes.
Dairy-heavy? Absolutely.
Regrets? Minimal.

Barrel-Aged Malört: Why Does This Exist? | Review

We finally cracked open a bottle of barrel-aged Malört…quite possibly the most cursed innovation in the history of alcohol 😂

Matt, Jason, and Drew dive into the nose, the palate, the trauma, and whether spending time in a barrel actually changes Malört… or just deepens its commitment to chaos.

Spoiler: It’s still Malört. Aggressively Malört.

Craft beer isn’t dead… but it is changing.

For Ethereal Brewing’s 11-year anniversary, we sat down with Brandon to talk honestly about why sales are down, how breweries are adapting, and what the next era of craft beer might look like.

We also compared BCBS 2025 with Phase 3 Minutiae because we’re professionals (allegedly).
