An evening with Bully Boy Distillers hosted by Co-Founder and Head of Whiskey Production, Dave Willis! TASTING LINE-UP Bully Boy Distillers Bourbon Bully Boy American Straight Whiskey Bully Boy Bottled Old Fashioned Bully Boy Amaro Bully Boy Amaro Rabarbaro Bully Boy Rum Cooperative Volume One Bully Boy Bourbon Barrel Sample About Dave Willis Co-founder & Head of Whiskey Production, Dave is a co-founder and heads up all facets of whiskey production. As kids growing up on a working farm, Dave and his brother Will made cider from apples that grew on the property. It wasn't long before an appreciation for cider lead to an appreciation for hard cider. That lead to experimentation with apple brandy, which they crafted using a small one-gallon still. Dave proved particularly adept at the science of fermentation, distillation, and aging. He has overseen the research, development, and launch of their award-winning spirits and, in 2017, shifted roles to focus exclusively on whiskey production.
What happens when a small, but influential, retailer unexpectedly closes all of its stores? What's the impact on suppliers? What does its closure say about the trends it embraced? The hosts share their thoughts on Boisson's surprising shutdown. They also test out an innovative countertop machine that produces on-demand plant-based milk and highlight a motley crew of RTD beverages (including a tomato-flavored tea and pistachio milk latte) as well as an upstart brand of samosa inspired by Caribbean flavors. Show notes: 0:35: Ray Burgundy. We Had An Inkling. Nu & Tasty. Pure Peruvian. Whiskey And Chicken. Churn, Baby. – The opening script is a bit off, but Ray makes an adjustment. The hosts reflect on their 2023 predictions about the future of dry bottle shops and discuss the news about Boisson “restructuring,” before Mike whipped up oak milk lattes with the press of a button. They also chat about a secret ginger deal caught on video and what keytars have to do with a buzzy lifestyle trend and indulge in a few treats that John and Doorsa founder Kartik Das provided for the recording.

Nicholas Reichenbach is ready to take his passion public. Reichenbach is the founder and executive chairman of Flow Water, a premium brand of spring-sourced alkaline water known for its use of recycled carton packaging. Launched as a challenger to legacy brands such as Fiji and Evian, Flow has achieved remarkable retail and sales growth since its launch in 2015. Flow generated sales of $25 million in 2020 and the brand, which markets several varieties, including flavored and collagen-infused waters, is sold in 25,000 retailers across the United States and Canada, including Whole Foods Market, Safeway, Wegmans, Walmart and Vitamin Shoppe. Success has prompted an upcoming public stock offering that is expected to raise over $50 million in support of the company's goal to establish a new standard for premium water focused on taste and sustainability. As part of an interview featured in this episode, Reichenbach spoke about the rationale for going public just six years after launching the company, his background and experience as music promoter and tech entrepreneur and how timing played into the decision to commercialize his family's spring and launch of Flow Water. He also discussed his prodigious ability to raise capital for the company, which has already brought in over $100 million in funding, how he's attracted a range of celebrities -- including actresses Gwyneth Paltrow and Halle Berry, musician Shawn Mendes and NBA star Russell Westbrook -- to support the brand and how Flow's marketing strategy is getting consumers to trade up. Show notes: 0:42: The Insiders Have It. Plus, We're Going, Going, Back, Back To Cali, Cali. -- The hosts discussed the evolution of BevNET/NOSH's subscription model, an “Ugly” guy's recent office visit and the big news that we'll be back to in-person events this December. They also chatted about several new products and early-stage brands, including better-for-you snacks, immunity-boosting juice shots, pea-based ice cream, non-alcoholic cocktail alternatives and a restaurant-inspired brand of pasta sauces. 17:08: Interview: Nicholas Reichenbach, Founder & Executive Chairman, Flow Water -- Reichenbach sat down with Taste Radio editor Ray Latif for a conversation that began with the entrepreneur's experience as a club promoter and later as the founder of a ringtone and mobile gaming company. He also explained what he learned about the beverage industry as an early distributor of Red Bull, how and why he landed on Flow as the name for his nascent water brand, why self production has been critical to the company's growth and how the company most effectively utilizes celebrity partners and investors. Later, he spoke about how Flow's packaging has enabled it to stand out on shelf and how he's incorporated lessons from other challenger brands into Flow's business strategy.

WBZ's Jordan Rich talks with Matt Robinson of matts-meals.com about the new tasting room at Bully Boy Distillery.
Barry Nalebuff believes that food and beverage entrepreneurs should focus on solving what he calls “a real problem.” When he co-founded organic beverage brand Honest Tea 20 years ago, that meant delivering healthier bottled drinks to consumers at a time when few such options existed. Nalebuff has since integrated that philosophy into other ventures, including alcoholic kombucha company Kombrewcha and Maker Oats, a new brand of organic overnight oats that he developed in partnership with Quaker Oaks. The ultimate goal, he says, is to transform an industry laden with unhealthy ingredients and formulations. “If you think about what people have put in our foods, do you think they’ve actually made us healthier?” he asked. “I’d like to be able to trust in my food companies. I want to make things that you can trust. I want to appeal to people who read labels.” In this week’s edition of Taste Radio, Nalebuff joined us for a wide-ranging conversation about his career as an entrepreneur and investor, including why premiumization has been an effective path to innovation, lessons learned from early missteps at Honest Tea, and how he views Maker Oats as fitting into Americans’ daily routines. Also included in this episode: An interview with Will Willis, co-founder of Boston-based craft distillery Bully Boy Distillers. Willis, who launched Bully Boy in 2011 with his brother Dave, discussed his journey in the fast-growing business of craft spirits, including their initial foray into the space, how the industry has evolved over the past six years and what he’s learned along the way. And in the latest edition of Elevator Talk, we sit down with Ryan Close, the creator of Bartesian, a countertop machine described as the “Keurig for Cocktails.” Show notes: ‘Cause I’m Eating on a Jetplane: In just a few days, the team will be heading out to Santa Monica for BevNET Live, Brewbound Session and NOSH Live. Most of us will probably make a beeline to the In N’ Out near LAX as soon as we land. But how, pray tell, will we nourish ourselves during the journey? The hosts discuss some go-to snacks and drinks when flying, including Barnana, Biena Snacks, Monfefo, Temple Turmeric and Terra Chips. Interview: Barry Nalebuff, Co-Founder, Honest Tea, Kombrewcha, Maker Oats -- Nalebuff recently joined BevNET CEO John Craven and Project NOSH editor Carol Ortenberg at BevNET HQ for a wide-ranging conversation about his career as an entrepreneur and investor. Nalebuff, who’s also a professor of management at Yale University, explained his innovation philosophy, beginning with Honest Tea and later with Kombrewcha and Maker Oats, how entrepreneurs can empower designers to best align branding and packaging with their visions and why it’s critical for him to work with people that he “totally trusts.” Interview: Will Willis, Co-Founder, Bully Boy Distillers -- As the market for craft spirits continues to develop, we’ve stayed curious about the segment and its parallels to emerging categories in food and non-alcoholic beverages. So when we were invited to visit Bully Boy Distillers, an urban craft distillery located in Boston, we figured it was a good opportunity to chat about the business with folks in the trenches. John and Ray recently checked out Bully Boy and met with co-founder Will Willis. Elevator Talk: Ryan Close, Co-Founder, Bartesian -- Close is the co-founder of Bartesian, a Keurig-type machine that makes cocktails on demand. We met up with Close last month in L.A. and recorded this edition of Elevator Talk. Brands in this episode: Barnana, Biena, Monfefo, Temple Turmeric, Terra Chips, Honest Tea, Kombrewcha, Calicraft, Maker Oats, Bully Boy, Bartesian For sponsorship opportunities, feedback and suggestions, contact ask@tasteradio.com.
