Guy Beahm, famously known as DrDisRespect in the online gaming world, remains an enigmatic figure, particularly after his unexpected ban from Twitch in 2020. However, this setback didn’t deter his entrepreneurial spirit, as he continued his hustle and embarked on various ventures.
Beahm initially gained traction in 2010 by sharing videos of his Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 gameplay, gradually amassing a following. His career as a full-time video game streamer took off in 2015 when he joined Twitch (formerly Justin.tv), solidifying his persona as DrDisRespect and establishing a significant online presence.
Following his ban from Twitch, Beahm transitioned to YouTube, where he resumed streaming under the same persona. His YouTube channel has since gained substantial traction, amassing over four million subscribers by 2022, reaffirming his popularity and influence in the gaming community.
Expanding his repertoire beyond gaming, Beahm ventured into the realm of spirits by launching his whiskey brand, Black Steel Bourbon. This move marked his entry into the alcohol industry, diversifying his portfolio and engaging with a new audience beyond gaming enthusiasts.
For those interested in trying Black Steel Bourbon, access to the beverage can be obtained through the Black Steel Spirits website. However, purchasers must be at least 21 years old, and the product is currently available for shipping exclusively to specific locations, including Delaware, Florida, Maine, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, and South Carolina.
Despite the availability on the website, both Batch 1 and Batch 2, introduced as limited editions, have completely sold out. At present, there have been no official announcements regarding the restocking of these batches. Interested buyers can opt to sign up for Black Steel’s newsletter to receive updates and notifications about restocking or new releases in the future.
While awaiting the availability of new batches, fans and followers can still engage with Beahm through his YouTube channel. However, it’s important to note that the accompanying experience won’t include indulging in a glass of Black Steel Bourbon for now, as stocks remain depleted until potential future restocks.
