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

Customer Reviews

don’t care about the finer points of alcohol, love the banter.
knew i was hooked when i found myself pausing in the kitchen to hear about the end of euchre game and now here i am in a bar drinking a pumpkin beer in september.
The BEST Spirits podcast
Dare I say, this podcast….forks? (Apple wouldn’t let me use the actual word, ha). Parker, Jon, and Producer Jenny have an awesome dynamic and talk about spirits in a way that makes it accessible to the average drinker. I really look forward to these each week. Especially love the deep-dive episodes into well known brands that are available even in rural areas, as well as the Producer Jenny-led all female pods which are super funny!
Informative and Fun
Parker, John, Steven (sp?), producer Jenny, unpaid intern Morgan, and other guest hosts clearly enjoy recording the podcast. They are able to blend that conversational chemistry with very informative content and very good palettes. Additionally, the episodes are not super long, which keeps them from being onerous to listen to. It's one of my favorite podcasts.
