Supporting Sip Mightily on Black Friday
Thank you for supporting this newsletter. Here are details on an upcoming giveaway along with soliciting new story ideas.
Hi family. I hope your Thanksgiving festivities treated you all quite well.
I’ll keep this post short and sweet, as I have five things to hit on before I go and make myself a plate of leftovers.
ONE: Join our spirits club on Facebook
Brown Liquor Collective is a spirits club I’ve run since my time in Oakland, California, back in 2017. We have over 1,000+ members active in our group, where we chat about all things spirits, cocktails, experience and general tomfoolery. Consider this your invite to join in on the shenanigans. Anyone who joins the Facebook group will be entered to win a copy of Aaron Goldfarb’s book “Hercules Mulligan: Clothier, Spy, Drinksmith, American Hero”.

TWO: Become a paid supporter of Sip Mightily for $1/month
The money I make off of this newsletter goes directly into trying new spirits, cocktails and speakeasies that are on my radar. Those key learnings and experiences are what I bring to you the reader. I don’t know if I’ll ever actually paywall this newsletter, if I do, it’ll likely be there to give access to readers on whiskey giveaways or discounts to special events.
As it stands, if you want to support my continued experimentation and research into the wide world of spirits, consider supporting Sip Mightily. Anyone who becomes a paid subscriber will be entered to win a copy of Aaron Goldfarb’s book “Hercules Mulligan: Clothier, Spy, Drinksmith, American Hero”.
THREE: Share this newsletter with friends and family
One thing I’m proud of with this newsletter space is that it gives me the freedom to explore as my lifestyle allows. Sometimes I deep dive into a particular spirit, other times I experiment with a cocktail. A trip to a distillery, a speakeasy, or intriguing conversations takes me down a particular rabbit hole.
The point is that a large chunk of the content produced here is sparked by you all. Either in email responses, the Facebook group or in DMs and texts. I think that’s why our open rate for Sip Mightily is 58%. I’m proud of that.
Consider sharing some of our best work here with your network. I’d be most appreciative, and they might be too. Anyone who shares this newsletter will be entered to win a copy of Aaron Goldfarb’s book “Hercules Mulligan: Clothier, Spy, Drinksmith, American Hero”.
FOUR: What should Sip Mightily discuss next?
What bottles am I sleeping on? What’s the best bar you’ve been to this year? What questions do you have regarding cocktails, home bars and distillery tours? I’m here to help. Hop in the chat and let’s chop it up. Anyone who joins the chat will be entered to win a copy of Aaron Goldfarb’s book “Hercules Mulligan: Clothier, Spy, Drinksmith, American Hero”.
FIVE: What do you love, like, dislike and hate about Sip Mightily?
I’m always looking for feedback on how to improve, including understanding how can we do THIS better. Should we post less? More? Do you want more spirit reviews? More interviews with industry leaders? Is the website ugly? Am I ugly?
You can respond to this email in your inbox and I’ll receive the response privately. If you’d rather email me directly, hit me at ed AT edthesportsfan DOT com. Anyone who emails me directly with feedback will be entered to win a copy of Aaron Goldfarb’s book “Hercules Mulligan: Clothier, Spy, Drinksmith, American Hero”.
Thank YOU for sharing so much of yourself with all of your subscribers.
