Digital Streaming Network Is Worth Cheering
If you’re like me, you’re tired of seeing all this stuff about Trump on television (no matter what side of it you support) and of going through a zillion channels and still not finding anything interesting to watch.
Plus, at least as I write this, it’s the boring down season in sports.
So imagine my joy when I learned there’s a new network that sent me straight to the bar to make a drink to celebrate. It’s Drink TV, which is all about the fun things of life. Offering content on beers, cocktails, wine and spirits, with a little travel thrown in, it is available in the digital streaming world on multiple OTT platforms.
Actually it sounds a lot like PubClub.com to me, but I don’t have such a show.
The streaming network is available at DrinkTV.com, Roku, AppleTV, iOS and Android devices (with Amazon Fire coming soon). For $2.99/month or $29.99/year, subscribers will have access to exclusive content and various programming celebrating all the best in drinks culture, including brand new projects.
“Why isn’t drink culture celebrated in the same way as food?” said Jared Cotton, co-founder of DrinkTV. “We are aiming to change that; bringing exciting and engaging programming that highlights the world of booze that permeates our culture, but just hasn’t been captured yet… until now.”
It features drink aficionado and comedian Zane Lamprey (Three Sheets, Drinking Made Easy, Chug) in a new show called Four Sheets.
Along with the exclusive airing of Four Sheets, viewers will get a comedic look behind the scenes of the first season on Between The Sheets, a six-episode roundtable talk program hosted by Steve McKenna from Drinking Made Easy.
Other shows on the network include The BrewDog Show, with Scottish brewers James Watt and Martin Dickie brewing collaboration beers around the world with some of the top names in brewing, Throwback Trivia, an 80s/90s themed bar trivia show fronted by legendary game show host Marc Summers, new episodes of The Nerdy Bartender with geek culture devotee and fan favorite Stacey Roy, and a range of cocktail, wine and beer programming from around the world.
Additionally, the network has greenlit Nightcap with Zane Lamprey, a late-night talk show where Lamprey will go one-on-one with celebrity guests in his natural habitat: at the bar (shot on-location in some of the most iconic and unique drinking establishments in Los Angeles). Nightcap with Zane Lamprey will debut in spring 2019.
An Amazon Fire app will be joining the offering soon.
To all this, we all should raise our glass and say “cheers” to anyone who is bringing more cheer into our life with things like Drink TV.
