Susie Hoyt of The Pearl

Good news for a Monday? How about this … The Pearl can now sell hand-picked bottles of single-barrel bourbons, as well as some beer. Go for a drink, leave with a six-pack.

They’re offering more than 16 at the moment, and that will change as more bottles come in and others sell out. I had a sip of a fabulous Weller Antique and immediately put my name on the waitlist for that. Holy cow.

The link above will take you to my conversation with Susie Hoyt, the bar’s beverage director.

And the best part is, it’s in my neighborhood! Let’s meet up for a cocktail and spin the dangerous wheel of drinks.
