This week we head to Washington, DC to pull up a stool with Kapri Robinson and Princess Johnson of Allegory, one of the most inventive bars in the country and a fixture on the North America's 50 Best Bars list. They take us behind the scenes of their famously ambitious concept menus, including their current book-length tribute to Ruby Bridges, complete with hand-built dioramas made from thrifted toys. Along the way, they break down the one-to-two-year R&D process behind every menu, how they keep egos out of the creative room, and what's next for Allegory, from new formats to "Club Allegory" dance nights.

Brett Adams just finished writing his second book. Good thing he had a lot of time since his day job is curating a bar with thousands of different bottles. Brett, author of “Raising the Bar” and “The Bartender's Library” sits down with Greg and Sother to talk about his work as Spirits Curator and Education Manager at the Multnomah Whiskey Library, why he wanted to write such an in-the-weeds book after a much more stripped down debut, and what bottles he would take with him at the end of the world. Want to hear what goes into a $7,000 dram of Japanese Whiskey? Brett has your answers.PLUS, cocktail names are getting simpler. By a lot.

The Mexican government is considering a revised version of the NOM that defines what is and what is not Mezcal. My big takeaway is that it feels like the changes are either moving more toward protecting heritage mezcaleres or codifying things that were already allowed but weren't anywhere in the existing NOM. Sergio Garnier's view isn't so different. But we argue anyway. Because that's our love language.Agave Road Trip is a critically acclaimed, award-winning podcast that helps gringx bartenders better understand agave, agave spirits, and rural Mexico.

“Europe is a key market for Savanna, and Savanna itself is a very complex and versatile rum. Bartenders are very important partners for us in this dialogue, because they know our products, understand how to use them, and can help introduce them to consumers,” says Estelle Prevost of Savanna Distillery on the island of Réunion.

Walk into any Total Wine & More these days and there's a good chance a bartender has had a hand in what you're seeing on the shelves. This week we're joined by Molly Horn, Chief Mixologist and Spirits Educator at Total Wine & More, who traded restaurant bartending for a role teaching both store staff and shoppers how to drink better at home. We dig into how bar trends take a few years to trickle down to home bartenders, how TikTok can send a drink like the Dubai chocolate martini viral overnight, why rum and mezcal are having a moment in certain markets, and how canned cocktails are turning curious shoppers into home bartenders. Plus, Molly shares why putting a bartender on the sales floor might be the best move a bottle shop can make.

That's what I thought we were talking about: the Margarita collapsing under the weight of its popularity, so to speak. But food writer Alisha Miranda thought we were exploring the question, Can we get past the Margarita? And that question itself suggests that, at least for Alisha, the Margarita has become a victim of its own success. And David Suro's La Jefa Milpa Bar in Philadelphia doesn't serve a Margarita, which suggests Alisha isn't alone. So … what's going on with the Margarita?Agave Road Trip is a critically acclaimed, award-winning podcast that helps gringx bartenders better understand agave, agave spirits, and rural Mexico.

When should you tip—and when has tipping culture gone too far?Today on The Treehouse Show, we start with a Reddit post from a guy who says a bartender made him feel uncomfortable because he didn't leave a tip. Was the bartender out of line, or is not tipping at a bar just unacceptable?Naturally, a conversation about bartenders somehow leads Trey to tell the story of a hooker with a lumpy BBL who snapped at him while he was working at a bar. Because this is The Treehouse Show.Then it's Celebrity Birthdays, where Dan Marino has us wondering if he secretly hates Trent Dilfer, and Trey and Dan explain why they'll always love former Dallas Mavericks legend Jason Terry.Finally, we need to have another talk with the Boomers. One man was arrested after putting a $1 bill in a server's cleavage. Sir, that is NOT how tipping works.Tipping etiquette, tipping culture, Reddit drama, NFL debates, Dallas Mavericks memories, weird news and questionable decisions—it's another day in The Treehouse.About the show:Leave your worries outside and join Dan O'Malley, Trey Trenholm, and their hilarious guests for laughs about funny news and viral stories with ridiculous commentary inside the Treehouse Show.

Rum has long suffered from an image problem in this country, as too many drinkers still associate the category with sugary spiced bottles and sticky frozen drinks. But if tequila could go from a spirit taken by the shot to one sipped and studied, then why can't rum do the same? To help us make sense of where the category is headed, we are joined this week by actor and co-founder of Palm Republic Rum, Eric Winter. So tune in as he shares how a single pour of aged rum nearly twenty years ago set him down this path, and what went into blending Jamaican funk with rums from Panama and the US Virgin Islands.

Step into Episode 229 of On The Delo as Delo sits down with Whitney Wingfield, owner of Brick & Barley, for an honest look at what it takes to build a neighborhood bar people treat like home. A fourth-generation Arizona native who started in the bar industry at 19, Whitney shares the path from the original Dos Gringos to selling her house to buy the place where she had already worked for 13 years.The conversation gets into the work guests rarely see: staffing, repairs, regulations, responsible alcohol service, late-night calls, online reviews, and the judgment it takes to spot trouble before it starts. Whitney also explains how AZ Bartenders grew through weddings and corporate events, why responsiveness and flexibility matter, and why knowing how to make a drink is only one part of being a professional bartender.Whitney revisits Brick & Barley's Bar Rescue experience, including what felt made for television, the publicity that still brings people in, and why she insisted that the production avoid structural changes that could create expensive compliance problems. She and Delo also talk about the bar's community-first atmosphere, late-night food, wings, burgers, healthier options, football, and why Whitney has no desire to chase a second location.Chapter Guide (Timestamps)(0:00 - 1:57) Summer Business, World Cup Crowds, and Four Years of Ownership(1:58 - 5:42) Whitney's Arizona Roots and Her Start at the Original Dos Gringos(5:43 - 9:29) Selling Her House, Buying the Bar, and Growing AZ Bartenders(9:30 - 12:14) What Great Bartenders Need: Responsiveness, Training, and Judgment(12:15 - 15:13) The Daily Reality of Ownership, Regulation, and Tempe Community(15:14 - 19:46) Behind Brick & Barley's Bar Rescue Experience(19:47 - 24:02) Handling Reviews and Building a Bar Around Good, Late-Night Food(24:03 - 27:00) Why One Location Is Enough and Why an Owner Is Never Fully Off(27:01 - 30:07) Daily Non-Negotiables, Jack the Dog, Football, and 37 TVs(30:08 - 35:12) Rapid Fire: Bourbon, Yacht Rock, Gummy Nerds, Steak, and Bar Talk(35:13 - 36:13) Closing Thoughts and the Community Energy of World Cup Crowds
This week, in West Liberty, Iowa, we messed up! There was just too crazy of a story to fit into one episode. A young man, who is the small town's most popular & beloved bartender, is horribly beaten to death, in his own bed. The problem with solving this case, is that there are just too many suspects. The victim had at least 4 girlfriends, and a fiance. Plus, he's dabbles in some recreational drugs, and other extracurricular activities. Was it a angry girlfriend? One of their angrier husbands? The possibilities are nearly endless!! Along the way, we find out that you might not want to call your buddy "Bacon", that being a small town bartender gives you all sorts of social advantages, and that it's incredible when someone that everyone seemed to like, still had so many people who may have killed him!!

Bartenders spend their whole careers reaching into ice wells, pulling from speed rails and slamming glass door coolers shut a few hundred times a night, and yet most of us have never given a second thought to who decides how any of that gets built. To help us pull back the curtain on the equipment side of the business we are joined by Corrinne Walenda, Corporate Training Manager and Brand Ambassador for Perlick, who has spent nearly 15 years working in restaurant equipment and building training programs that translate between the people who make the gear and the people who use it.

When most people think about Mexican drinks, they think about Tequila. But Tequila's success is really built on the vibrancy of the broader landscape of drinks and drinking in Mexico. It's not a standalone spirit. It comes from a history and geography and culture that made possible something as compelling as Tequila. And author and researcher NC Stevens argues that is one of the leading reasons that Tequila has become so successful. Agave Road Trip is a critically acclaimed, award-winning podcast that helps gringx bartenders better understand agave, agave spirits, and rural Mexico. This episode is hosted by Lou Bank with special guest Nic Comrade Stevens, author ofThe Complete Guide to Mexican Beverages: From Atole to Zambumbia.

On this episode of People Solve Problems, host Jamie Flinchbaugh welcomes Bob Rogers, Founder and Chairman of BRC Imagination Arts and author of the new book Deep Story: A Complete Guide to Creating Transformational Visitor Attractions. Bob has spent five decades building visitor experiences for some of the world's best-known brands and museums, work that has earned more than five hundred international awards. It started somewhere smaller. At eighteen, he performed magic in the Magic Shop at Disneyland, where the job was to amaze people and then sell them the trick while they were still amazed. The lesson that stuck came after a customer bought a trick, read the instructions, and returned to expose him. A senior magician he admired told him the shop was not a temple built to display his skill. People came not to admire him, but hoping he would help them find some magic in themselves. Bob has treated that ever since as the foundation of selling, of hospitality, and of any attempt to communicate. This is where he believes most business communication goes wrong. Organizations decide what they want to say and build outward from the message, but wanting to say something does not create anyone's desire to hear it. Deep story runs the other direction. You look far into the audience for an emotional truth that already moves them, and far into the brand for the same thing, and the part people miss is that you are not looking for two triggers. You want the one that already exists in both. He frames it with a formula he admits sounds silly for creative work. An audience, A, enters a triangle, the delta symbol of change, and comes out as A prime. A prime minus A is the whole assignment, and that difference is almost always a change of heart, not a change in what people know. The Johnnie Walker experience in Edinburgh shows what that looks like in practice. It runs nine stories, and most guests arrive believing they do not like whiskey. Rather than teaching them the correct way to drink it, the experience asks what flavors they enjoy and builds a first cocktail to match. Bob reports net promoter scores in the low to mid eighties and a brand conversion score of ninety-one. Bartenders are trained never to push their own tastes. When the Milwaukee Brewers wanted an experience honoring founder Bud Selig, the team passed over his complicated public record for something smaller. Selig fell in love with baseball because his mother took him to games, which is how much of the crowd came to the sport too. That, Bob says, is the trigger you cannot manufacture, only find. For listeners whose reach extends to rearranging conference room chairs rather than commissioning a building, Bob suggests finding someone who will guide the process rather than decorate it, and starting with the heart rather than the technology. Fifty years have convinced him that people settle on emotion first and arrange the facts to fit afterward.

“This brings us to the question of glass versus food-grade plastic, because both are used at José Alberto's palenque, and food-grade plastic is certainly used to store mezcal at every other palenque I've visited, and both are legitimate vessels for storing agave spirits.” That's what Marcus Piña of Creador Spirits wrote in his online journal — and then he answered the question. We've talked a lot on this podcast about how agave spirits change when aged in glass. Marcus takes us beyond the claim to the details — as much as someone who is not a scientist can.

Not too long ago, the idea of a truly great cocktail coming out of a can seemed like a contradiction in terms, but this week's guest has been on a mission to change that. We are joined by Neal Cohen, Co-Founder and Chief Brand Officer of Atlanta-based Tip Top Proper Cocktails. Before launching the brand in 2018 with childhood friend Yoni Reisman, Neal spent years in radio and as Marketing Director for Superfly, producing large-scale events like Bonnaroo and Outside Lands, where he noticed something was missing from the market: bar-quality classic cocktails you could actually enjoy at a concert, a tailgate, or on your own couch. So tune in as Neal shares how they enlisted eight-time James Beard Award nominee Miles Macquarrie (Kimball House) to develop the recipes, how a background in music and brand-building shaped the company, and what it takes to pioneer an entire category. In addition, we discuss the growing lineup of Tip Top classics, from the Old Fashioned and Negroni to the Paper Plane and Penicillin, and where the prepared cocktail space is headed next.

For the first time in its history the winner of New Zealand Bartender of the Year has been awarded to a woman. Melanie Walker is known for her tinctures and syrups.
Mezcal can get very confusing for the average consumer. You've got regular Mezcal, Mezcal Artesenal, and Mezcal Ancestral. And then there are variations among those, including Joven, Reposado, Anejo, abocado con, destilado con, and on and on. But this, it seems, is part of the heritage of Mezcal — at least according to a 1904 book titled Diccionario de Aztequismos o Sea Catalogo de las Palabras del Idioma Nahuatl, Azteca ó Mexicano, Introducidas al Idioma Castellano Bajo Diversas Formas. (That's Dictionary of Aztecisms, or a Catalog of Words from the Nahuatl, Aztec, or Mexican Language Introduced into the Spanish Language in Various Forms, and, yes, that is the longest title ever for a book.) In that book, there are ten categories of mezcal. Want to know what they are…? Agave Road Trip is a critically acclaimed, award-winning podcast that helps gringx bartenders better understand agave, agave spirits, and rural Mexico. This episode is hosted by Lou Bank with special guest Linda Sullivan of seynasecreto. Episode Notes Read Diccionario de Aztequismos o Sea Catalogo de las Palabras del Idioma Nahuatl, Azteca ó Mexicano, Introducidas al Idioma Castellano Bajo Diversas Formas, by Cecilio Agustín Robelo (1904), for the source of the quoted passage in this episode: There are several types of mezcal. Mezcal: Heads of medium-sized maguey plants—from which pulque cannot be extracted—are roasted, crushed, and steeped in the appropriate amount of water; the resulting ferment is then ready for distillation. Mezcal corriente (Standard Mezcal): Distilled from a mixture of water and cooked chaparro maguey (known in the Mixtec region as Yahuytzingu), which has been fermented in animal-skin bags; white pulque is often added to the mixture. Mezcal flojo or cola (Weak Mezcal or "Tail" Mezcal): The same liquor as above, but resulting from a second distillation. Mezcal de pulque: Distilled from a mixture of tlachique pulque and piloncillo (unrefined cane sugar) syrup, fermented in animal-skin bags. Mezcal resacado de cola (Redistilled "Tail" Mezcal): Produced by redistilling mezcal cola to improve its quality; the volume is reduced to one-quarter of the original. Mezcal resacado corriente (Redistilled Standard Mezcal): Produced by redistilling mezcal corriente; the volume is reduced to one-quarter. Mezcal de cabezas (Head Mezcal): Obtained by distilling the liquid in which the maguey heads were fermented. Mezcal de sustancia (Substance Mezcal): Obtained by distilling the fermented juice of the maguey heads together with cooked chicken meat or veal trotters. Mezcal de chorrera (Stream Mezcal): This name is given to mezcal produced in San Luis Potosí using specialized distillation apparatuses that yield a continuous stream from the still. Mezcal de campanilla (Bell Mezcal): Also produced in San Luis Potosí. Mr. José Segura, in his monograph on the maguey, states: "The still used to produce vino de campanilla is the most imperfect and curious apparatus imaginable: it consists of a somewhat elongated earthenware pot—barely protruding from the hearth in which it is embedded—covered by another inverted pot; the latter's open bottom holds a small copper vessel filled with cold water, which serves as a condenser. Suspended inside the apparatus, beneath this vessel, is an earthenware bowl—or apaste, as it is locally known—which catches the alcohol condensing on the bottom of the vessel. It is to this specific arrangement that the spirit owes the name campanilla." In several European countries, mezcal is known as "Mexican Gin," while in some U.S. states, it is referred to as "Mexican Brandy." It is a mistake to call the plant itself maguey; the specific maguey from which it is derived is called mexcalmetl—that is, "mezcal maguey." Botanically, it is classified as Agave mexicana (Lamarck) or Agave wizlizeni (Engelmann); Tequila-style mezcal is produced from these varieties. There is also Agave decipiens, which is harvested in Texas, New Mexico, and Chihuahua.

It's Ticked Off Tuesday and Jared is complaining with YOU about
Have you ever worked a shift behind a bar that seemed like it was designed by someone who has never made a drink in their life? Wells in all the wrong places, no room for a trash can, and a setup that leaves your back aching by last call. This week we are joined by six-time international bartending champion and founder of Studio Bar Magic, Tobin Ellis, who has spent over two decades fighting to fix exactly that. So tune in as we discuss his theory of "zero-step bartending," why the bar is the true engine of any restaurant, and how getting real bartenders involved in the design process can save your body, your guests, and your bottom line. In addition, we chat about his new book, Bar Design Essentials, which offers practical guidance for everyone from barbacks to architects.
