Flair bartending.
Awesome.

SO there I was watching the food network earlier today when I get to this show about bartending “competitions” or something. I decided to give it a try to see where it would go. The show started off slowly and wasnt terribly interesting, it concerned a number of proffesional bartenders making custom drinks, the shortcomings of which the judges would use to piss all over their dreams shortly after for the first round of the show. The second round of the competition involved the bartenders making a number of drinks as fast as they could without spilling anything or missing any ingredients (they pretty much all fucked this one up in some way or another). But what really caught my interest about this bartending competition was the “Flair” section of the show; the third part of the competition and one of the most fucking awesome things I’ve ever seen done with booze!

Flair bartending is a type of bartending where a proffesional bartender/acrobat crossbreed is given about six minutes or more to mix a few simple drinks while also doing some incredibly ridiculous shit involving juggling many colourful bottles, metal tins and lemon wedges. The winner of the food network competition was a man named Christian Delpech, brother of the man who came in second place: Rodrigo Delpech. I searched up some of this “flair bartending” on the series of tubes this afternoon and from what I’ve gathered it seems that Christian is a 16 time world champion and his brother is a very close second. To give you an idea of sickeningly fantastic they are at this “sport” Ive added two videos showcasing some skillful competitors.

This video showcases the highlights of six world class competitors. The winner of this competition is none other than Rodrigo Delpech.

This video shows the man himself, Christian Delpech, pissing in the face of gravity.
