Roasting Greatness with T.J. Fairchild: Coffee Craft, Undercover Billionaire, and Willet Bourbon

This week on Bourbon with Brad, we sit down with T.J. Fairchild, the founder and master roaster behind the iconic Commonplace Coffee. T.J. shares the remarkable story of how he and his wife built one of Pennsylvania’s most beloved coffee institutions, from reopening a shuttered shop in Indiana to growing a regional coffee powerhouse built on connection, craft, and community . We dive into his philosophy of hospitality, the science and soul behind great coffee, and his unforgettable experience advising a struggling shop on the Discovery Channel series Undercover Billionaire Comeback City .

Brad and the crew taste the exceptional Willet Pot Still Reserve with T.J. as they compare notes on bourbon, roasting, and the pursuit of excellence. And of course, Lou joins the conversation as we explore T.J.’s very own Loubricity level in a segment you will not want to miss.

Pour a glass of your favorite bourbon and join us…Cheers!
