Times flies when you are sling bourbon. Joseph Head knows that better than most.

Joe, who co-owns The Century Bar in downtown Dayton with Diane Spitzig, started his journey with the bar two decades ago.

>> What are the oldest bars in downtown Dayton?

Amelia Robinson, host of the new "What Had Happened Was" podcast, sat down with Joe just before his epic bourbon-ey party. Their chat was good to the last drop.

>> Who is Joseph Head of the Century Bar?

Joe talks about how he went from a rough-around-the-edges, long-haired arrogant youth to a so-legit Kentucky Colonel.
