Bob and Brad wrap up Season 6 with Michael Mann's 1992 historical epic The Last of the Mohicans, a film that neither Bob nor Brad had seen before. Luckily, they're joined by film critic Daniel Joyaux to break it down. Daniel counts this among his favorite movies, largely because of just how rewatchable it is. Together, the trio discuss Daniel Day-Lewis having the movie stolen out from under him by the phenomenal Wes Studi, the career of Madeleine Stowe, and how this movie fits into the catalog of Mann's filmography. (Daniel sips on three whiskeys that were generously delivered to him by our friends at Detroit City Distillery.) Meanwhile, they stay in Scotland to try The Glenlivet Enigma. This special-release scotch is part of the brand's Mystery Series, which are marketed without tasting notes or much info in the way of provenance. At around a $150 price tag, is it worth the guessing game? Film & Whiskey Podcast. New episodes every Monday. Film & Whiskey Instagram Film & Whiskey Facebook Film & Whiskey Twitter Email us!

Do you enjoy sugary, deep-fried treats? What about a nice, relaxing drink after a long day? Thanks to Detroit City Distillery’s palate-tickling paczki vodka, you can have both at the same time! In this intoxicating episode, distillery co-owner Michael Forsyth discusses how the concoction is steeped Detroit’s Polish heritage, explains the innovative pastry-to-vodka distilling process, and updates us on business progress throughout the pandemic. Bonus content— Mike and team conduct an in-office vodka tasting! Show Notes [00:40] Michael Forsyth, co-owner of Detroit City Distillery — welcome back to Open Mike! [00:50] Last time you were here, you provided some bourbon that was very good that I restocked several times. But you had mentioned you had amazing paczki-flavored vodka and yet you sold so many of them you weren’t able to share any with me! You sold out 2,000 bottles in 4.5 hours last February, is that true? [02:13] Tell us about your business and what you’ve been up to since the pandemic! [03:52] Bottle sales this past pandemic year compared to a normal year… are they up, down, flat, what’s happening? [04:35] Bars were closed, but people purchased so much alcohol from liquor stores that business was actually up compared to the previous year. [05:37] We’re talking about Paczki Day, which is coming up, February 16th. Do you want to tell our listeners about Fat Tuesday and what it’s all about? [06:22] Detroit City Distillery is partial to New Palace Bakery in Hamtramck, a local, 100-year-old institution. [07:18] You love paczkis and you love alcohol… what made you decide to put together the proverbial chocolate and the peanut butter? [09:13] Has anybody copied you yet? [10:23] You showed me last year of the paczkis smushed up in the alcohol, and it looked kind of gross and good at the same time! But you strain out the paczkis and then it burns off, right? [11:34] On that note, you’re making my mouth water. So I want to introduce you to two of the people who helped the alcohol industry sell all of those bottles last year — Jami and Ryan who work here at the law firm! I thought rather than drinking alone in my office, I would have them in here and sample it and give us their opinions! [12:50] I like the bottle, especially the sticker of the paczki on the back! [13:15] It’s 88 proof — how about you explain what that means while I pour for my friends? [13:55] Most vodka is proofed at 80, so this is going to give you a little more bang for your buck. [14:34] Alright… what’s “cheers” in Polish? [14:44] Wow, that’s smooth! I don’t usually drink vodka straight — this is really good! [15:18] You can distill anything into vodka because it’s essentially pure alcohol. You can make it out of potatoes, wheat, rye, grapes. Potato vodka is often the smoothest, a “blank canvas.” [16:25] Jami loves it — it’s much smoother than the vodka she normally drinks. [16:55] Ryan agrees — it doesn’t have the burn going down. The raspberry flavor comes through, but you can actually taste the doughiness of the pastry. [17:38] This might be good just on the rocks… would you mix this with anything? [18:19] Detroit City Distillery does a riff on a White Russian with this vodka. They use Bailey’s instead of Kahlua and grate cinnamon over the top. [19:04] There’s another drink called the Polish Daisy that’s the paczki vodka, Cocchi Americano (a fortified wine), lemon, and vanilla syrup. They’ll be bottling and selling this as a bottled cocktail. [22:37] These pre-bottled cocktails you’re selling — where can I go out and buy those? [22:54] Purchase cocktails on the Detroit City Distillery website, and pick it up in person or curbside at their tasting room! They’re open Wednesday-Sunday. [23:29] Some of your liquor is available at local liquor stores and supermarkets. Will these bottled cocktails and paczki vodka be sold at these locations as well? [24:21] Last year, people were calling from Poland, asking how they could get their hands on the paczki vodka! In Michigan, bars are not allowed to ship alcohol, but Woods Wholesale Wine in Grosse Pointe is licensed to ship alcohol out-of-state (but not in state, ironically). [25:11] It feels like we need a law change in Michigan… how are we one of the only states that can’t ship alcohol? [25:56] Jami and Ryan just refilled their glasses, so that’s a compliment right there! And then they’re going to try and do some work around the firm after this… So if you call the firm and Jami answers and sounds a little happy, you know why! [26:28] What was your biggest seller last year? [27:03] Are you guys sending out newsletters? How are you getting the word out? [27:57] Cheers, Michael! Happy Paczki Day, and hopefully you’ll sell out just as quick as last year. [28:32] Thank you for watching this installment of Open Mike: Alcohol Edition. I’m going to start slurring my words in a minute. If you know someone who likes alcohol, vodka, or paczkis, share this episode and make sure you subscribe to get updates! Thank you for watching, thank you for listening. Take care! Note: at the time of production, Detroit City Distillery’s vodka had not yet been released. When it was released on February 1st, 2021, the entire stock sold out in 22 minutes.

Michael Forsyth is the founder of Detroit City Distillery, a local brewery and spirits manufacturer in Detroit's famed Eastern Market. Michael and his childhood friends created the distillery out of their desire to enjoy local, small-batch spirits, resulting in this incredibly unique distillery in the heart of Detroit. In this episode, Michael shares the story of how they came up with the idea for Packzi vodka, gives Mike and Kevin a crash course on bourbon, and he even breaks out a bottle for tasting. Looks like we'll need a designated driver...
We go over the life and death of Black Lotus and the last five years with him as the head brewer, what changed, and why the sudden closing. We learn where the hardware from Black Lotus went (hint, previous guest on Better on Draft), and Nick updates us on his other fermentation work he's been doing as he looks for a new home to brew.We try his gin he made with Detroit City Distillery and we discuss a bit of news including the hype that is Pliny the Younger in bottles and we do a short dive into the black market of bottle reselling and what brewers feel about it. Want to learn more about that conversation and what we referenced, check episode 149 with Drafting Table to see what they thought of their beer going for over $200 on the black market. Nick is one of our favorite guests to have on the show because he's very opinionated but cares about the industry that he loves and wants to get back to that, so if you're looking for a brewer that can brew you award winning beers, slide into his DMs on Instagram @NickTheBrewerSubscribe to Better on Draft - https://plnk.to/BODSpotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/0rofqU5VHPmEjcGLwJbocmiTunes - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/better-on-draft-a-craft-beer-podcast/id1091124740Subscribe to Better on Draft Archive (Episodes 1-145) -Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/5EADA1tifaLAoxd6THbRRsiTunes - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/better-on-draft-podcast-archive/id1450538812Subscribe to The Brewz Brothaz -Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/31iofThmMV9vHblkod5qK5iTunes - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-brewz-brothaz-better-on-draft/id1443234432Subscribe to The Beer Tour GuySpotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/3enGxubfQFop2ppdQjuVNRiTunes - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/beer-tour-guy-podcast-better-on-draft/id1266857083https://www.twitter.com/betterondrafthttps://www.facebook.com/betterondrafthttps://www.untappd.com/bodpodcasthttps://www.youtube.com/c/betterondrafthttps://www.instagram.com/betterondraftDRANK ON SHOWPabst Blue RibbonBlack Lotus Ninja PirateDrafting Table Mom Said No Cinnamon RollArbor Brewing Co Crystal PeacockOld Nation B-43Rochester Mills Olde St Mick'sDetroit City Distillery Lonely Warrior

Uh, so the meetup for this month was not set up for the third Thursday. It was set up for the fourth Thursday. So it is not this Thursday. It is next Thursday, the 23rd. Uh, it will be at Detroit city distillery. Come on out. Hang. Should be a fun night. Love the venue. Love the liquor. It's a good time. I'm not gonna lie, it's big coming. Extremely difficult to book a venue in this town. It is, and we've talked about this for two years now. We're like, you know, places that, you know, we went for, you know, six, seven, eight years when nobody cared about them and nobody went there. All of a sudden now they want, they got the a, they got the no, because they've got somebody booked a holiday play there and now they think everybody's got 1000 bucks an hour. My ass Russell, they booked an M and M video and how they think they can get top dollar, but like I called a, it's a new retro bowling alley in Royal Oak. That's shall not be named that has pull in the name. Um, I'm only like 200 bucks an hour just to show up. No food. No, I'm good. Thanks. It's kind of like, Hey, and I said, we can always just crash a joint. Right? Yeah. But I don't want to do that because then we, you know, the people ask, the thing is you need to have buy in from the front desk. Like, Hey, I'm here for it in the day. True. Whoa. What? Yeah. Um, so like I go, Hey, there's going to be like 30 to 50 and flash mobs or so, 2001 we don't, do they need to die? Well, they know. I say this is the way I set it up. I go, we don't charge because here's the thing, I can understand what the venue is when you charge. Like, Hey, I'm going to use your 50 bucks to walk in the door and then I charge you 20 bucks. Like kiss my ass. Yeah. But I'm saying, Hey, we don't charge cover. We don't take sponsors. There's no speakers. Everyone's on their own for food and whatever they want to order. Um, we just need someplace to hang out. Yeah. Okay. It'll be 200 bucks an hour. Like for, for, for, for what? Bye-bye. Yeah, exactly. Cause you're so crowded on a random Thursday night that you can't use the additional business, you know, then smell you in the window. You know, if you're, if you're, if you know someone that's a bar owner, like literally that would want us reach out to us. Please. We're glad to hear about it. These phone calls, it's ridiculous. Like, or we'll just keep doing all of our events at whiskey in the jar. It'll be that simple. We'll just be there every, we don't have,

Before the show we kicked things off with the ‘Sassy Old Fashioned’ An Old Fashioned made with their own homemade sarsaparilla. Cole came to the table with a pair of Manhattans made with their own homegrown Rye. We talked about their line of spirits, the extensive drink list, the great building and story behind it and so much more. Then a second round with two different cocktails from Cole: 'Blueberry Velvet’ made with the Peacemaker Gin' and a ‘Consciously Caffeinated made with Milk-wash Bourbon. Both just wow. www.DetroitCityDistillery.com www.whiskeyfactorydetroit.com www.ManCaveHappyHour.com @DJJamieDetroit @fox_beazlefox
