GB is the only whiskey site that I like. I don't read comics, I'm not a big techie(but will is pretty great), I don't like Screened's reviews or coverage(no offense to them, just different tastes is all), and I don't like Anime. I feel like with this 50 bucks a year, I'll be supporting those sites more than supporting GB. 
 
The bombcast thing is annoying, and people are justified in being pissed. Calling them whiny kids is a little extreme, GB does make money off of us, subscriptions or not, and that does give you some right to bitch...a little at least. But they are taking something that has been free for years and mucking it up.

Its really not enough stuff to make the site worth paying for. The Bombcast thing seems like an attempt to annoy people into paying.  
 
TBH I'd have no problem paying if this site had more base content.  
 
Also I have a hard time believing that they have a hard time staying a float. This site gets a TON of traffic. I think that the other whiskey sites might not be doing so well, so they are trying to get money from the GB user base to help support the weaker sites.

Some of it is good, some of it sucks. Its just like everything else in this world.

Dr Pepper, but I wouldn't call it an off brand.
