This isn’t going to help keep our egos in check. Don and I have been profiled on the site UncleBoise.com, where writer Crandal Bourdeaux does a great job of reviewing B&WB and sharing how Don and I got our start.
Here’s a little taste:
The blog has been around for over two years now. Before that, Don says the idea for the site had been percolating for a year before he called his brother with a strange request.
“He liked beer; I liked whiskey,” says Don. “So I asked him, ‘Why don’t we make a blog about that?'”
This proposal took brother Jim completely by surprise.
“He has the technical skills of a caveman, so his exuberance for doing something with the Internet struck me as odd,” says Jim. “I figured it was important to him, so I gave it a shot.”
This is the first time anyone has cared enough to actually interview us and put together a profile about the site, and I have to admit it’s pretty cool to read nice things about yourself on the Internet (instead of the nasty stuff I see out there about us, most of which was written by us!).
Anyway, if you’re a fan of the site, it’s well worth a read – it’ll make you feel like you have great taste for slumming here with us. Check it out!
Here's a screen cap from the article. The girl in the pig hat is totally digging me!
Beer & Whiskey Brothers 
Most skin this website has seen since Don was shirtless.
Too bad it’s the shade of a cheap pistachio snack. 😦
Hey, you know what they say…”once you go pink…” 😉
Crandall Boudreaux sounds like a character from a William Faulkner or Flannery O’Connor novel.
Congrats on getting the press! Mr. Boudreaux is correct in pointing out the layout here. Of the blogs I regularly visit, yours is the quickest to load and high on the legibility scale. It’s clean and simple while also visually appealing.
Of course, none of that would mean a thing without the awesome content.
Thanks, John. I’ve been pretty clear in my agonizing over the layout here. We want to show a lot of content without it being too busy. Glad to hear it’s working.
As for the content, I know that at least half of it is good. I’ll leave it up to you to determine which half it is. 😉
I’m pretty sure it is the half that doesn’t have a “Pig Girl” leering at him 😉
I think you’re right… 😦
Um, I don’t think that’s just a pig snout on her hat, but she is digging you.
yeah, before she turned her head to look at me, that “snout” was all floppy…
winner.
This guy is kind of grossed out by Jim’s picture, despite being covered in filth himself.
You can keep your mudman and I’ll keep my piggirl!
Today Boise, tomorrow . . . Idaho Falls?
Would have been funnier if you said Pocatello. Any time you can use Pocatello in a sentence it is funny!
I’ve been to Pocatello; they have a lovely bathroom in the McDonalds! And you’re correct, Pocatello is much funnier.
I’m trying not to get my hopes up, Alex, but you’re reading my mind…
Today Boise, tomorrow Schenectady! (which happens to be even funnier than Pocatello in a sentence).
Yeah, but you lose the western vibe when you go to NY.
Congrats, guys! Excellent post. Uncle Boise has some great content on it, too. Read it frequently. Another site that tries to inform but doesn’t take itself too seriously.
The piece (and the site) is really well-written. Almost like they are professional writers who blog or something. Wonder what that’s like? 😉
Mad Oinks!!!!!!!!
Nice to see that a non-craftbeer/whiskey focused publication respects your work like the rest of us “experts”.
Congrats and keep your hands off that new mascot.
@TheAlemonger
I’d better, or my wife will catch me red-handed – literally! Zing!!
Congrats Gents! Always an interesting read, and you guys have excellent taste in beer/whiskey. Kudos!
Thank’s Rich. Although being famous in Boise is a little like being the prom king of a one room school house 😉
I had a buddy in college we joked about being in the home-school marching band. We can get you together and celebrate your prom victory properly. It consisted of him in the back-yard with a kazoo. Hours of drunk entertainment there.
Coolness! When I went over though, there was a black dude taking his shirt off next to you, and also a guy with a shot put looking to throw it in your direction.
Anyway, very nice interview and it seems they ‘got it’. Also it seems my $2 ‘donation’ to the editor worked! 😉
Funny when I went there, there was a guy in a skirt with an enormous penis looking longingly at Jim…or was that a telephone pole?
Naw, pretty sure that was his junk!
Nice work Bros! Well deserved.
Cheers!
G-LO
Thanks G-LO. We’re super-pleased with the way it turned out.
That’s one hell of a nice write-up and right on the money. Congrats guys!
Thanks Wayne. It was fun to talk about, and I love the result of the article!
Today, Boise. Tomorrow, Nampa!
Congrats on the write-up right next to “Tune-in Tokyo Massage.”
Yeah, I love their motto “Best Rub and Tug in Boise!” Tug! Seriously?!! Nobody caught that?
