Something To Drink About

Brad is an industry professional of 18+ years, a cofounder of 5280 Flair, recent graduate of the BAR-5 program & also host of 3 Stars Podcast. We get deep on a controversial topic like "influencers and their ilk" as well as the show he, his girlfriend and best friend run together about just that, 3-star reviews! 30-minutes isn't a ton of time to get into everything in, so we'll be bringing him back for part 2 soon!

This episode was a blast to do! Stockade Tavern is one of our favorite bars to hit up in the Hudson Valley and Lauren brings in a very special set of skills to the table. Aside from having a super impressive resume working at some of the best bars on both the East and West Coasts we talk about the early cocktail renaissance, drinking mezcal, doing shots of Fernet Branca and what it takes to work at Stockade Tavern. Come hang out and say "hello" to her at Stockade Tavern https://www.stockadetavern.com/

We had a blast doing this one. We visited Hudson House in West Park about 2 years ago before doors opened and sat down with Paul Seres and Charles Ferri to discuss their thought process behind opening a distillery, tasting room, restaurant and much more before and during a pandemic. While Charles couldn't make this episode we got a really exciting addition to this! 2 years later we're sitting down with Paul and now Kyran Tompkins, formerly of Captain Lawrence Brewing, to talk shop, brand awareness and much more. Love this episode? Go say "hello" to Charles, Paul, Kyran and their incredible team and discover their spirits! There's a lot of cool things going down!

It's been a solid two (2) years since we did anything with this show! COVID-19 certainly did a number on us and precluded us from doing anything significant with this show because of the significant effort involved in recording, editing, etc. Although it's January 2023 and this year feels...different. Not different in the weird, mildly uncomfortable way that 2020 made everyone feel, but filled with hope. The goal this year is to attempt to put out some content that is worth a damn to you guys which means we'll be looking to YOU, the listener to pitch us some topics to discuss on the show. Got something you wanna shake up? Slide into our DM's @fuchsiatiki or drop a line fuchsiatikibar@gmail.com Cheers, A.
