Barrel Proctology 101 – If you seen one bunghole, you’ve seen them all by Noah Streingraber
Description: Some awesome stuff involving bourbon barrels
Noah hails from the “Mile High City,” AKA Denver, Colorado. And sorry, but no he didn’t bring any “jazz cabbage” or “Devil’s lettuce” with him because that is called “illegal drug trafficking.” He is a self-proclaimed beer connoisseur and barrel expert wannabe. Why did he move from CO to Louisville, KY? (Everyone asks this in a concerned, sad tone for some reason) — Bourbon brought him here. Noah slings barrels for Kentucky Bourbon Barrel, a full-service, used barrel cooperage here in Louisville, KY. He is a trader of sorts, but instead of investment stocks Noah deals in bourbon barrels. Like a nice, altruistic version of Gordon Gecko (ie “Wall Street” reference) that partners with and supports global beverage producers.
