A Long, long time ago… really about 11-ish years. I was in a home brewing phase. I would make two gallons of beer, cook up some good food, have friends over and we would talk about… well anything that came to mind at the time. As the batch of beer was so small, the fun would end when the keg was dry, and everyone went home. I joked at the time that we all should start a show and call it “Bits, Bytes, and Beer.” Later after I got out the brewing habit (and the company that made my home brewing system went out of business (Picobrew), Things switched back to whisk(e)y which has always been a favorite of mine and also many people I know in the IT and cybersecurity industry. So, the nebulous, not quite real idea of “the show” turned into Bits, Bytes, and Bourbon.
