We're collaborating with our friends at CottonTown Brew Lab and the Columbia Bourbon Collective on a one-of-a-kind brewing experiment. Over the next few months, we'll be brewing beer in two different (but very similar) single batch Russell's Reserve bourbon barrels from Wild Turkey Distilling Co. At the end of our experiment, we'll compare tasting notes of each beer to one another and to the bourbon from the barrels they were brewed in.

The movement to end the use of plastic straws has been heavy on the forefront of national attention lately. From cities like Seattle banning plastic straws completely, to large scale chains like Starbucks, American Airlines and Marriott Hotels getting on board, the topic has been thrust into headlines for the past few months. The effort to phase out the use of plastic straws circles back to a single underlying issue — the devastating impact plastic has as it drifts out to our oceans. Plastic simply doesn’t recycle as easily as other products, like paper, which is why paper straws are beginning to replace the classic plastic straw in many restaurants and establishments.

Last October the Motor Supply team selected a single batch barrel of Russels Reserve from Wild Turkey to be used as the house bourbon for Head Barman Josh Streetman’s cocktail program. The bourbon was a hit among customers — Motor Supply went through the equivalent of 175 bottles of the 11-year-old whiskey in 4 short months. The team knew that the special bourbon barrel had a longer lifespan, and in an effort to preserve every last bit the team decided to repurpose its use. “We wanted to repurpose the old barrel after its initial use to show customers the livelihood and longevity of it” said Josh. That’s how a collaboration with our friends from local brewery, Cottontown Brew Lab, was born.
In honor of #NationalBourbonDay, our team is excited to release a new barrel of Wild Turkey Russells Reserve that has been selected as the house bourbon for the restaurant while supplies last. This is our second Motor Supply select barrel. Read about the process of selecting this special barrel on the blog.

You’ve heard talk about Harvest Week at Motor Supply – but what exactly is it?
Columbia natives have celebrated Motor Supply Co. Bistro’s upscale farm-to-table dishes and handcrafted cocktails since its conception in 1989, but the restaurant also serves as a particularly popular hub for another audience entirely: business travelers.

"The days pass and are reckoned to our account." Pereunt et Imputantur, a Latin phrase engraved in the clock adorning the top of Motor Supply’s bar, roughly translates to the above motto.
