Saved the best for last. House of Applejay just rolled out their latest creation -the Appalachian Iced Tea -and they went and named it "The Chuck." After our very own Chuck, of course. Big day for the man.
This is what we love about Caroline and the crew: everything's made small-batch right there in East Ellijay, and they're always cooking up something new. Proud to have 'em as a sponsor -and honored to have a drink on the menu now.

Appletini, but make it Ellijay. Caroline poured us a classic with a House of Applejay twist and... well, "good God almighty" about covers it. 😄
It's imple, refreshing, and a whole new perspective on distilled spirits.
House of Applejay makes their liqueurs in small batches right there in East Ellijay, and we're proud to have 'em as a sponsor. Next time you're up in the North Georgia mountains, wander Downtown Ellijay and go say hi - tell 'em Stix & Stuff sent you.

Looks like we've got a convert.
A lifelong beer drinker, ready to switch to Applejay -and wise enough to know he might need a driver to get home.
Good news if you're visiting: you don't have to choose between the good stuff and a safe ride. The Ellijays sit right in the middle of North Georgia wine country, and there are tour buses and shuttles that'll run you between the tasting rooms -House of Applejay included.
Sip smart, see more, leave the driving to someone else.
Come wander Downtown Ellijay and go say hi to Caroline and the crew - tell 'em Stix & Stuff sent you.

Holy cow.
If you're a Moscow Mule person, you need to get yourself to House of Applejay -because what they poured us was something else.
Outstanding doesn't quite cover it.
This is the stuff we'd tell our friends back home about. Caroline and the crew make their liqueurs in small batches right there in East Ellijay, and every drink off that menu has a little mountain magic in it. Glad to have 'em as a sponsor -even gladder our glasses stayed full.
Next time you're up in the North Georgia mountains, wander Downtown Ellijay and go see for yourself. Tell 'em Stix & Stuff sent you.

"Cheers to the Ellijays."
Don't you just love the way Caroline says it? And honestly, there's something about this little pocket of the North Georgia mountains that gets under your skin in the best way.
If you find yourself up here, do what we did: wander Downtown Ellijay and East Ellijay, find your own favorite cocktail, and raise your glass at House of Applejay with Caroline and the crew. Glad to have 'em as a sponsor - and gladder still to call this place home.
So here's to the Ellijays. Come see what we mean.

Meet Caroline Porsiel -the one behind House of Applejay over in East Ellijay.
As a recurring guest (and sponsor) on our show, we met with Caroline for some FIFA talk and drinks - and she dropped some big news.
Their Applejay just got named one of the Coolest Things Made in Georgia. And we're not remotely surprised, because it's one of our favorite things, too!
If you're ever up in the North Georgia mountains, this is the kind of spot you tell people about. Caroline's a real liqueurist, makes everything in small batches right there, and the "Applejay from Ellijay" is named after the town since this is Georgia's apple country.
Glad to have her as a sponsor -and even gladder we stopped by.
Come wander Downtown Ellijay, then go meet the folks at House of Applejay. Tell 'em Stix & Stuff sent you!

“Fußball” or football? 😄
Our latest guest (and one of our sponsors!) brings the true magic of the World Cup- along with a charming accent -while the House of Applejay cocktails stay flowing.
The absolute best part of tournament play? The underdogs. This year’s tournament is delivering incredible history.
Also, if you're traveling through the North Georgia mountains, build a perfect day around the matches: wander through Downtown Ellijay and East Ellijay, then pull up a stool at the House of Applejay.
Treat yourself to the signature "Applejay from Ellijay," named in honor of Georgia's apple capital itself.

Cheers from the North Georgia mountains! We’re raising a glass with an exceptional House of Applejay cocktail and settling in for this week's FIFA World Cup action.
