Episode 232: Lucas Twyman walks into a bar...

On this episode of Geek4, I'm joined by Lucas Twyman. Lucas is a well-known figure in the Toronto bar scene, having bartended here for the past ten years. He's my local barkeep,  making delicious cocktails at Famous Last Words in the Junction. He also teaches cocktail making classes there and those classes are excellent (I've taken three of them). Recently, Lucas has become the Angel's Envy Whiskey Guardian for Toronto, representing the Angel's Envy brand across the city. I wanted to find what made Lucas interested in liquor, mixology, and bartending - which is as much a social skill as a technical skill. Over the course of the conversation, I learned that Lucas is a geek for lots of thing - Godzilla, he worked for a roleplaying game company. This was a fun conversation. I only wish  we could have had it over a drink. If you're in and around Toronto and want to take one of the literary-themed cocktail making classes at Famous Last Words, I'll drop the link to their website in the show notes.  FLWYou can follow Lucas on Instagram at @ontariobourbon and check out Famous Last Words at @famouslastwordsbarFollow me on Twitter  @mwboyce  and Instagram @mwboyce and follow my website michaelwboyce.com/You can follow the podcast on Twitter @geek4pod and on Instagram @geek4podIf you liked the show, hit Subscribe and please consider leaving a 5 star review.
