The Hard Proof

 The Hard Proof

The Hard Proof isn’t just a show about spirits and alcohol, it’s a gathering place for people who appreciate the stories, the craft, and the culture woven through the bottles we pour and the memories we share.

Created as a resource for Patton House members and all curious spirits fans, the show goes well beyond tasting notes and bottle talk. It’s where conversations about rare bourbons blend into stories about legendary athletes, iconic films, classic vinyl, collectible treasures, and the grit and heart of American heritage.

We’re here to cut through the noise; no marketing smoke and mirrors, no uptight tasting rooms. Just real people, talking about the things we love: a good pour, a game-winning play, a piece of music that stopped us in our tracks, a vintage neon sign with a story, or a well-worn pair of boots that’s seen more than most.

Whether you’re a spirits collector, a sports fan, a history buff, or someone who just wants to enjoy good company over meaningful conversations, The Hard Proof is your kind of show.

So pour yourself a glass, pull up a chair, and let’s talk spirits, stories, and everything in between, one pour at a time.
