In episode 87, Stephen chats koji spirits in Charleston, South Carolina as a guest of Imbibe Magazine's editor in Chief, Paul Clarke (listen to episode 69 for more of his thoughts on Japanese spirits) and James Beard Award winning author, bartender, and bar owner, Julia Momose. The trio hosted a live panel discussion of koji spirits to a group of guests, most of whom had never tried shochu, awamori, or koji whiskey before.

While it is rewarding and exciting to own a small brewery, there is also a lot of worry that comes with it. Over time things can snowball, accumulate, and become a burden. Regular check-ins on mental health are important, and no matter who you are in the brewing space, or your role, taking care of yourself is paramount. That's the focus on this episode. Everyone is feeling the stress these days. From outside influences to internal worry, everyone is carrying a lot of weight on their shoulders. If you're running a small business, the worry of your staff is on you as well. While there are many things in our control, there are also a lot of things that are simply not easily dealt with. Finding balance from within and managing what you can is important to mental health. Being pulled in a dozen different directions all at once rarely brings calm, but by focusing on what you can control and finding the moments - or longer - to take a break adds up to a better human experience. Of course there are other considerations to mental health in the beer space, and other challenges to navigate. To get a better understanding on what is available out there and how to best access it, we're pleased to be joined by J Jackson-Beckham, the Director of Member Resources for the Brewers Association, better known in the industry as Dr. J.A former professor of Communication Studies, Dr. J dedicated her academic career to the study of American beer. She is an author, speaker, vocal advocate for the craft beverage community, homebrewer, and Certified Cicerone. In 2018, Dr. J was named the Brewers Association's first-ever Diversity Ambassador.

# On Becoming Hawk Hi there - this is Michael Kiser, founder and publisher of Good Beer Hunting. I'm coming to you today with a difficult message—but a simple one.  Good Beer Hunting—after nearly 15 years, and at least 10 of that that I would consider serious years—is going on a platform-wide sabbatical. It'll be indefinite. It might be permanent. We have some ideas for what the future of Good Beer Hunting might look like—and soon I'll be working on that vision with the counsel of my colleagues to see where it takes us. But the earliest vision is so drastically different than what GBH currently is, that the only way to get to the other side is to make a clean break. We've got to clear out the cache. We've got to quiet everything down for a bit and see what it all sounds like on the other side of that silence. We're shutting down our various content streams—the podcast, the website, social—ending a sort of always-on feed of content that's been, for many of us writers, editors, and artists, our life's work. And for most of us, our best work. This thing that started as my personal blog would go on to be published in the annual Best American Food Writing, and win multiple Saveur blog awards before I had the courage to start publishing other voices beyond my own. It began as a way to pursue my curiosity for beer, combining the beauty I saw in it with the strategic implications of a new wave of culture and industry the world over. Good Beer Hunting came from a simple idea and simpler execution of a blog and grew into an international publication covering unique stories from countries all over. With every major shift, from one editor in chief to another, it would morph into something that felt beyond any reasonable ambition. Eventually winning awards from the Society of Professional Journalists, Imbibe Magazine, more than 100 awards from the North American Guild of Beer Writers, and most recently nominated for 6 James Beard Awards and winning 3 of them. If I consider what it would mean for us to achieve something beyond all that, I'd have to believe in a truly insane fantasy. In the many years of running a beer publication that took us to the top echelon of all publications —literally taking podiums next to the New York Times, Washington Post, and The New Yorker—we've had to build and sustain an organization that simply doesn't have a roadmap for survival in 2024's media landscape. And to be clear, it never did.  From day one, I vowed to not try and make GBH profitable, because the media world already showed that to achieve profitability was to welcome a certain kind of death—and often a shameful one. Chasing advertisers and clicks with listicles and promotions—and as a result, never creating anything of real value to anyone but the advertisers. It was a fool's errand, and one we didn't follow. By not hunting down ad revenue and declining offers over the years, Good Beer Hunting was able to remain a personal project in a way, even as our ambitions continually grew and results showed what an impact our stories and contributors made on the world of beer and beyond. Instead of trying to manage our costs with advertising, we've been able to form longstanding partnerships with companies like Guinness, which has helped mitigate at least some of financial losses we took on every year. We also launched an experimental subscriber community called the Fervent Few, which took a meaningful chunk out of the debt and paid its dividends by connecting readers and fans from all over the world during the loneliest parts of the pandemic. But in reality, even these things combined didn't cover the gaps as we continued growing.  The challenge of expanding GBH during its rapid growth phase came from my own pocket, which kept our editorial team independent and in control. But it also guided us to this moment. Paying for writers, designers, and editors was a budget pulled from my own strategic consultancy called Feel Goods Company, which was no small thing. Each year, the costs sometimes crested over $100,000 that weren't covered by underwriting partners like Guinness or subscribers from the Fervent Few. And in the last couple years, costs went far beyond that. For years, I put other important things in my family's life on hold to continue supporting GBH's growth and ambitions.  As a father of three kids—and sometimes the only one working—that decision wasn't made lightly. I exhausted myself making the consulting business uncommonly successful in order to keep both things afloat and growing. And as costly as that was in a financial sense, I've never regretted the decision to do it—and I never took a dime. In fact, there was one year when we more or less broke even, and with the small amount left over we gave the editorial team, including our freelancers, a surprise end-of-year bonus. More like a tip really.  Good Beer Hunting is the longest I've ever done anything, and it's also the best thing I've ever done. And it existed entirely because I wanted it to. But outside of anything I wanted it to become—my own pride and ambitions for GBH don't really compare to the awe I feel when I look at what people like Austin Ray, Claire Bullen, and Bryan Roth helped it become. Our three successive Editors in Chief over those 10 years—each of whom shaped a new generation of Good Beer Hunting into an image that only they could have. Each of whom provided the shoulders for the next to stand on. And the countless writers and artists who were drawn to their leadership and the level of execution in our collective work—who gave us some of their own best work.  I'm thinking of Kyle Kastranec from Ohio, the first writer other than myself, who wrote a feature for GBH, setting a high bar. I'm thinking of Charleston's own Jamaal Lemon who won a James Beard award for GBH alongside other winners and nominees like Stephanie Grant, Teresa McCullough, Chelsea Carrick, and Mark Dredge.  I'm thinking of people like Matthew Curtis, our first editor in the UK who turned the lights on in an entirely new country for us, and Evan Rail who kept turning on lights in dozens of countries since as our first International editor. Emma Jansen, and Ren Laforme who joined our editors team in the last iteration, rounding out some of the most ambitions and wide sweeping storytelling we've ever produced. Kate Bernot, who leveled up our news reporting to create an unmatched source of access to explain to readers why things matter in beer and beverage alcohol, which is now a growing stand-alone business unit in Sightlines. What felt like a fluke at first, has become something I can confidently own. We produced industry-changing, internationally-recognized, and James Beard Award winning material…consistently. I'm also often reminded of the smaller things we've done—like the blogs and short stories we wrote—about the politics and personal traumas of the way we eat, drink, and relate to each other in our families, in our communities, and against the injustices so many people face in an industry that's ancient and profoundly immature at the same time. It's an unlikely place for a beer publication to have a voice —but GBH has always built its scope around the perspectives of the individual souls who occupy space within it rather than narrowing down a profitable and popular slice of the beer conversation and reduced them to it.  Mark Spence unpacked his Midwestern anxieties around family and food, Lily Waite and Holly Regan opened a door to discuss non-binary and transgender issues,  Jerard Fagerberg and Mark LaFaro took big risks to focus us all on the dangers and costs of alcoholism, David Jesudason and many others captured our attention with stories of harassment, racism, labor abuse, and more that so many readers told us were critical and prescient and more importantly, helped. These stories helped people. Over the years, we've had readers cry as they recounted what a story meant to them. We've had others scream and curse at us for the same. Some even went on the record as sources to ensure our reporting had the substance it needed to make an impact. Careers were started and ended because of the stories we wrote. Those stories had the same effect on ourselves. We've had writers put something heartbreaking or inspiring into the world only to have it wake something up in them and want to do more—take even bigger swings —and find a voice within them that carried them far beyond Good Beer Hunting. And ultimately, that's where my heart is today. This week, I was struggling to find the words to describe what I was going to do with Good Beer Hunting—what comes next. I knew what the move was, and why, and I knew it was time—but I didn't have the poetry for it—so I couldn't quite feel it yet. 

On a long drive to rural Michigan to pick up my son from summer camp, I was listening to an episode of my favorite podcast, On Being. And I heard Azita Ardakani and Janine Benyus, two biomimicry specialists who have a way of describing the natural world with a stunning relevance. They said:  “Life is just so full of vitality and so much ON and being alive and then it's not.” “…What is the difference between something that's alive and something that's not? It seems that with the holding on to life —there's also a feeling of once it's gone, the letting go—like a body breaking down—but it doesn't really. I mean, not for long. What happens is a tree falls and eventually becomes a log. Eventually grows a fungus and you think of it as breaking down—it is no longer a tree. But then a mouse comes along and it's the end of the fungus. And that material—thats' where the reincarnation comes in —that fungus becomes mouse.  “And then a hawk comes along and the material—that material of that mouse becomes hawk. There's this circulation—called metabolism. It's catabolism—then it gets anabolized up into a new form. The grief is brief because transformation happens almost right away—it gets transformed.” Now, GBH isn't dying and it's not wasting away. The truth is it's still sort of thriving in its own manner of being. It's a tree taller than I ever imagined. But success can kill an organization—I've seen it a hundred times in the companies I've worked for, companies I've consulted on—big and small. It's all proportionate. How far away from the roots does that beautiful canopy get before it surprises itself with its own extended weight? How much life force does it expend trying to prop itself up at the expense of something new? 

There's never an objectively right time—but there is a good time. A time not informed by reactionary fear and loathing - but by guts, love, and ambition for something new. 

So I've decided it's time to take the tree down.  
If I look back over the past few years I can see that Good Beer Hunting will be that fallen tree for many. It'll be a source of nutrients for many a mouse that becomes hawk. But the truth is, GBH has been the start of a kind of upward anabolism for some time now. Jamaal Lemon recently took a dream editors job at the Institute of Justice. Stephanie Grant has launched her own community project called The Share. Before that, Matthew Curtis started Pellicle Mag in the U.K. Lily Waite opened a brewery. So many GBH writers have gone on to write books, start podcasts, and create platforms of their own, it's astounding. And what I'm describing right now isn't something that started with GBH—indeed, GBH has been a recipient their upward anabolism from the lives they've lived—each bringing their own energy and nutrients here and nourished us with lifetimes full of curiosity, learning, and love for their craft. The risks in starting something like Good Beer Hunting are myriad. Financial risk is everywhere—but I've happily and defiantly borne the brunt of it for many years. There's personal risk—in media, everything you put out into the world has a way of coming back to you in unexpected, and often dangerous ways. And it does. There's opportunity risk—if this thing fails, and if it takes a long time to fail, what opportunities might you have missed out on in the meantime? But to me, the biggest risk of all is it just not mattering. Not being relevant. Missing the mark. Today, I feel satisfied that Good Beer Hunting matters. I have so many people to thank—and so many feelings to share that are best relayed one-on-one. It'll take me many months and years to pass along those sentiments to individuals who took that risk with me and succeeded. I'm not going to the final word on all this.  My experience of GBH is singular—being the sole source of continuity over those 15 years. But so much of what's defined GBH have been the perspectives and voices of those who've invested their talents in it over the years. So before our final sign-off this summer, you'll hear reflections from leaders, contributors, partners and friends of Good Beer Hunting as well. This is part of the grieving and metabolizing process.  There are a few more episodes of the podcast to share still, and a few remaining stories we've been working on that you'll see this month and maybe into August. If you want to stay up to date on future plans, sign up for the newsletter.  
This episode—along with all podcast episodes over these many years—was edited by Jordan Stalling. And it was scored by my friend, soulmate, and composer, Andrew Thioboldeax, who himself has been along for the ride for over a decade.
 Aim true, pour liberal folks—have a great rest of the year. 

You'd be hard-pressed to find a bartender that doesn't know the guest today - Imbibe Magazine has even called him, ‘the most famous cocktail bartender in the world'. Dale DeGroff humbly deflects it to Joe Baum but is credited with transforming cocktail culture while working at the Rainbow Room in New York in the 1980s. He popularised a number of things including the use of fresh juice and garnishes, the Cosmopolitan as we know it today and even named the Nick and Nora glass. Dale has received numerous awards, trained many of today's greats and authored bestselling cocktail books - including The Craft of The Cocktail. He's the founding President of The Museum of the American Cocktail, serves as a consultant for Holland America Line and continues to entertain audiences with lively presentations on TV and stage worldwide. Recorded inside the world's first standalone Grey Goose bar at Crown Melbourne, Le Martini. Officially open, the venue offers a range of martinis designed by Dale.

In this Seattle cocktail retrospective with Paul Clarke, Editor in Chief of Imbibe Magazine, some of the topics we discuss include: How Paul began his drinks journey in the early days of the cocktail renaissance and became a regular at the ZigZag Cafe, a Seattle cocktail den that rose to prominence thanks, in large part, to a bartender named Murray Stenson. The fascinating gravitational pull that Murray exerted, both within professional hospitality circles and on the community of cocktail enthusiasts who congregated at his bar.  How Murray resurrected The Last Word cocktail from the pages of a forgotten 1950s cocktail book and why his quest for the weird, wonderful, and esoteric extended far beyond cocktails. We also examine hospitality through the lens of an old-school bartender, someone who understood that the people are more important than the drinks - and we try to collect some takeaways for young bartenders who are just starting out on their hospitality journey. Along the way, we consider the merits of large vinyl collections and a lifelong fascination with music, the simple pleasure of spilling “your unique weirdness” to the bartender after a couple drinks, why Murray was “too cool” for awards ceremonies, and much, much more. Paul and I pulled up a seat during our recent spirits judging stint at the American Distilling Institute's annual International Spirits Competition to explore the legacy of one of the cocktail renaissance's most beloved bartenders: Murray Stenson. Upon his passing in September of 2023, Murray was memorialized for the major part he played in bringing The Last Word cocktail back onto the world stage after decades of obscurity, but he also played a massively important role in stewarding the overall cocktail culture of Seattle for many years. So this conversation, like its cocktail namesake, is an equal parts mix of history, elegy, technique, and idiosyncrasy. Featured Cocktail - The Industry Sour This episode's featured cocktail is the Industry Sour. To make this Last Word variant, you'll need either ¾ oz or 1 oz each of the following: Fernet Branca (A minty, alpine amaro from Italy) Green Chartreuse Simple Syrup Fresh Squeezed lime juice Combine these ingredients in a cocktail shaker with ice, give ‘em a good, hard shake until the drink is properly chilled and diluted, then strain into a stemmed cocktail glass and enjoy. Developed by St. Louis bartender Ted Kilgore in 2011, I think of the Industry Sour as an offspring of The Last Word, designed, as its name implies, specifically for nerdy cocktail bartenders who are “in the know” about esoteric ingredients like Chartreuse and Fernet. In this case, the Fernet kind of stands in for the gin, which works (since it's a dry botanical liqueur). And instead of the double-shot of sweetness AND nuttiness from the usual Maraschino liqueur, the Industry Sour takes a half-step back with the use of plain ol' simple syrup--something that any good cocktail bartender will have within arm's reach For me, the only real shame is that the pearlescent green color of The Last Word is replaced by a kind of muddy brown in this riff - but again, it seems fitting. Anyone can walk up to something as beautiful as The Last Word and understand they've got something special, but it takes a true cocktail acolyte to really appreciate the complex, aggressive symphony contained in the brownish soup of the Industry Sour.

This time of year, it feels like everything is speeding up. The kids are back in school, the holidays are around the corner, and I don't know about you, but it feels like everyone is back from vacation and emailing me. But author and mixologist Mike Wolf is asking us to slow down, take the time to make a proper drink and in the process, get to know our garden, our friends, and our family traditions a little better. You might recognize his face from past stints at Husk Nashville or most recently Audrey, or his voice from Liquid Gold, a podcast he hosts with a fun menagerie of friends and industry vets. He's the author of Garden to Glass, Baratined, and the upcoming Cheer!, and his drinks have been featured in numerous publications from Imbibe Magazine to The Tennessean. So let's take his advice and drink in the season as fall begins to tease us with slightly cooler mornings and burnt umber beginnings on the dogwood leaves.

Emma Janzen and I have known each other for years. Well, in the sort of way that two people on Twitter who have never met in person can. We've traded messages, likes, and retweets. She's a talented writer and photographer who possesses a great eye for detail while not losing focus on the story. She's someone whose work I've followed for a long time and who I've wanted to have on the podcast. Her career is a melange of multimedia endeavors. After focusing on audio and video editing, she graduated with a degree in film. She didn't plan on being a journalist but her background skills set her up perfectly for the new coming age of reporting and social media. She started her career working at the Austin-American Statesman in Texas after college. Living, working, and drinking in Austin, Emma had a front row seat for the nascent cocktail scene growing in the city. She reported on all things drinks there, shooting photos and video to accompany her articles, years before this would become regular practice in the industry. Emma then moved to Chicago, where she worked as a freelance writer, which is where she started focusing more on beer. She then got a job with Imbibe Magazine as the digital content editor. Emma is responsible for everything you see on Imbibe's website. She runs the editorial calendar, helps select and write stories, shoots photos, sources and curates recipes for the publication. She's also the author of several books, including Mezcal: The History, Craft and Cocktails of the World's Ultimate Artisanal Spirit, which was nominated for a James Beard Foundation award in 2018. Her latest book, a collaboration with co-author Julia Momose of Kumiko in Chicago, is The Way of the Cocktail: Japanese Traditions, Techniques, and Recipes.We don't talk a lot about beer in this episode, though there is some. We're mainly talking about booze this week, about how little I understand and appreciate mezcal, the beauty and art of Japanese bar culture, how much we both miss travel, and whether the RTD and NA spirits trends have legs. We also talk a lot about the business of journalism in the modern age. Emma offers advice on how to take better photos of your drinks. And we talk about how to maintain a healthy work life balance and the importance of re-energizing your creativity in the face of the burnout that so many of us are facing.We start this week by talking about the state of alcohol journalism and how her employer, Imbibe Magazine, has managed to succeed where so many others have tripped up. And how the romance of the printed page endures.For more information on the Beer Edge Podcast, follow us on Twitter @thebeeredge.

Tiffanie Barriere is the epitome of southern hospitality—warm, kind, and welcoming. She’s just the person you’d want as your drinking coach, which is fitting: The Drinking Coach is a moniker given to her by a friend, and it eventually became the name of the Instagram account where she shares stories of uncelebrated Black people throughout history, with a cocktail alongside. Tiffanie is more than an incredible bartender—she’s a teacher, a mentor, and a historian, using her platform to shed light on long-forgotten stories. Tiffanie started her journey at One Flew South, the first upscale restaurant in Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. She worked as the beverage director at the restaurant for seven years, during the time when it was recognized as the “Best Airport Bar in the World” at Tales of the Cocktail. Now, as an independent bartender, Tiffanie is getting her own recognition for her contributions to the bartending and service world. Earlier this year, she was featured on the cover of Imbibe Magazine’s 75 People to Watch issue, and most recently announced her involvement in the Jubilee project, a venture by award-winning food and nutrition journalist Toni Tipton-Martin. In our conversation, Tiffanie and I talk about what sparked her interested in service and how it grew into a passion. She shares the difficulties of striking out on her own as an independent bartender, and also talks about inspiration, and why she is her ancestors' wildest dreams come true.

Tyler Zielinski is a freelance journalist, competitive bartender, and beverage consultant. His writing has been featured in magazines such as PUNCH, Imbibe Magazine and Whiskey Advocate, and publications such as Liquor.com, Bloomberg and Fast Company have touted him as a beverage expert. Still, only 26 years old, he is just hitting his stride and has yet to fulfill his ambitions, so there is plenty more to come.In this episode, Nicole chats to Tyler about where his drinks blog Bon Vivantito has taken him, and some fascinating articles he's written about carbonating cocktails with baking soda, being more sustainable with prediluted cocktails and creating alternative acids.

Mimi Casteel is Imbibe Magazine’s 2020 Wine Person of the Year. She’s the vigneron for Hope Well, a certified organic vineyard and a winery in Oregon that she farms regeneratively with animals and birds and all kinds of flora and fauna with no tilling and no fences. Please do yourself a favor and find Mimi’s YouTube video about glyphosate. It’s a master class on soil and vine microbiology, and the devastating effect RoundUp has had on our food and wine. You can find it in a blog post I did.Also, check out any article or interview you can find online about Mimi. She’s one of the truly brilliant scientific minds working at the cutting edge of regenerative viticulture and agriculture in general. She thinks deeply about so many of the issues facing the wine industry, agriculture, and society at large, and Everything she talks about is full of big, important ideas that could shape the future of our world for the better.This interview is no different. We skip the backstory and dive right into the big ideas that are occupying Mimi’s mind these days involving experimenting with a sulf-sustaining community. We talk about the need for there to be more integration between rural and urban worlds, the ways that she farms and solves problems at Hope Well, the need to integrate and involve vineyard workers in all aspects of winemaking and the wine world, and so much more. As with anyone on the cutting edge, many of Mimi’s ideas are controversial and even incendiary. I hope you are incensed, intriqued, and inspired by this interview with one of the great minds of our time.

Tahiirah Habibi grew up in north Philadelphia, graduated from Penn State University and began working in hospitality, while taking wine classes at night to begin her journey of becoming a sommelier and pioneer.  In 2012 Tahiirah opened the St.Regis, Bal Harbour. She later moved on to leadership positions at Michael’s Genuine and Baoli. Frustrated with the lack of diversity in the industry she believed her skills could bridge the intersection of wine and culture.     In 2017, she launched The Hue Society as a safe space for the community to learn, commune and find resources in one place. Tahiirah has been featured in Ocean Drive as one of the top 5 female sommeliers, VinePair, Upscale Magazine, David Banner Podcast, and Imbibe Magazine to name a few. With a decade as a sommelier in some of the top end restaurants in Miami, Tahiirah is an accomplished wine professional yet she has struggled every step of the way to gain recognition, and to cope with the overt and covert racism that exists in the industry. She discusses her difficult experiences, including the incident that prompted her viral video describing how the Court of Master Sommeliers requires all candidates to call them “Master” and what that means to her and other black and brown people who take the exam.  Watch Tahiirah's video from Instagram about her experience with the Court of Master Sommeliers here.   After we discuss the issues, Tahiirah uses her never-ending positivity and her penchant for action and problem solving to explain why she founded the Hue Society, which aims to provide a safe space for black wine lovers to come together, learn about wine, and enjoy the process without feeling the need to assimilate. She discusses the Roots Fund, founded this year with Master Sommelier Carlton McCoy, to help fund people of color on their journeys into wine professions and how we can support her mission and vision by being more proactive about forming more multi-racial communities of wine lovers. Discussing these issues and hearing this perspective is an essential step in changing wine so it reflects more of what the world looks like, not just what wine has traditionally represented. If you listen with an open mind, there are many important ideas Tahiirah shares in this show.     To learn more about The Hue Society and the Roots Fund, please click here.

J Nikol Jackson-Beckham is our guest today on the Brew Ha Ha podcast, with Steve Jaxon and Herlinda Heras. She is a scholar, writer and equity and inclusion strategist for the craft beer industry. She is also the newly-appointed Diversity Ambassador for the Brewers Association. She is based in Richmond, VA. She was an undergraduate at Virginia Tech in the late 90s and had a job in a bar that served many different kinds of beer. They offered her some to taste and she would select the most expensive ones, and got to know the best beers that way. Jump-cut to today, and in her professional role as head of beer diversity, she helps organization become more inclusive, equitable and to reach more people in the community. Dr. J Nicol Jackson-Beckham was recently named Imbibe Magazine's 2020 Beer Person of the Year and has appeared in the press and online many times to share her expertise.  Dr. J also has her own consulting business called Craft Beer For All (dot com). In a recent article called "Feeling Helpless? 15 Things You Can Do To Fight Racism and Work For Social Justice" she describes one perspective and suggests some answers to the question, "What can I do?" Dr. J describes hearing many people wonder what they could do to improve the situation. When the issues involved are so big, our individual opinion can feel puny and powerless. But she wants to shift the way we think about activism and social change.  While protest creates urgency, if there is no policy behind the protest, nothing will happen. So people can get involved in sustaining efforts to make change, including organizing voting to elect representation. Also, there are ways to contribute which draw on a wide variety of profession skills as much as financial support. There are many ways to lend skills and craft to a sustained public effort. There is not one correct way to be an activist. She remembers working on her PhD thesis and mentions the importance of limiting your scope. She discovered a lot of fascinating cultural issues around beer while she was writing her dissertation about economic value, not cultural issues. What started as a set of side issues became her professional focus as it was picked up by some brewers. Colin at Hen House contacted her about this in 2016 because they had read a blog article she had written.

On this episode, Ken, Jake, and a special guest, Jeff Lynch, review Marvel's 2012 film, The Avengers. Just as the the Avengers come together for the first time in this film, all alcohols come together in this episodes drink, which is a Long Island Iced Tea.  Long Island Iced Tea (featured in Imbibe Magazine): ¾ oz. vodka ¾ oz. gin ¾ oz. white rum ¾ oz. blanco tequila ¾ oz. orange liqueur ¾ oz. Agave syrup ½ oz. fresh lemon juice 4-5 dashes of lime bitters Coca-Cola (or other cola) Shake all the ingredients except the cola with ice, then strain it into a chilled glass and fill with ice cubes. Add just enough cola to give the drink the appearance of iced tea, garnish with a lemon wheel, and enjoy! --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/marvelreviewsandbrews/support

Things can get dicey when we borrow elements from other cultures for our bar programs.  Is it ok to use ceremonial fabric as a tablecloth or put tropical drinks in cups shaped like religious icons? Cultural consideration in bar programs is very important, but it is challenging when we don't have an understanding or even exposure to those cultures. It's easy to misrepresent someone else's culture when you don't have any knowledge about it, even if you are well intentioned. My guest today is Samuel Jimenez. He has been in the industry in the Bay Area for many, many years. He is currently the bar manager at Novela in San Francisco, and he was recently chosen as one of Imbibe Magazine’s 75 People, Places and Things that will shape the way you drink in 2020, after spending 2019 educating the beverage world about Polynesian culture and history and how it relates to tiki. Samuel believes that the key to running more thoughtful bar programs is having a better understanding of the cultures you're representing. As a fist generation Samoan American, Samuel has a deeply rooted connection to Samoan culture, which many Americans have little understanding or exposure to. Samuel had so much to say about cultural consideration in bar programs and the importance of knowledge and cultural exchange.

Tractor Time is brought to you by Acres U.S.A., the Voice of Eco-Agriculture. On this episode, we welcome Mimi Casteel, a wine maker in Oregon's Eola-Amity Hills. At Hope Well Vineyard, Casteel is blazing her own trail and fast becoming one of the leading voices in the regenerative agriculture movement. Mimi talks eloquently and brilliantly — not just about wine, but agriculture and land use in general. As you’ll hear, her beyond-organic farm is singular within the American wine world. It’s not your typical vineyard, with its neat and tidy rows, it’s a dynamic ecosystem that incorporates livestock, welcomes in wild animals, eschews industrial inputs and produces prized pinot noirs. And for this work, Mimi was recently named the Wine Person of the Year by Imbibe Magazine. She grew up on her parent’s vineyard, and winemaking is truly in her blood, but so are wild landscapes, the ones she drew nourishment and meaning from when she was a botanist for the Forest Service. She left that job in 2005 to work at her family’s vineyard and eventually started her own on an old Christmas Tree farm. Although it might be a surprising coming from a former Forest Service employee, she believes that the world won’t be saved by wilderness areas, but by completely re-envisioning how we grow our food.

We travel around the family tree from his grandfather, father, mother and his brother and their dedication to hospitality. We hear no shortage of “isms” from the Kenyon family on their approach to the industry over the years. Sean surrounds himself with the best people he can to uphold his family tradition at his three establishments. We had the great opportunity to chat with Saydee Hopkins who went from host to running the show.

BITCH WE’RE IN CHICAGO! This week, Kim and Katie recap Episode 4 of Rock of Love Bus! Bret’s ladies are in for a real treat this tour stop. They receive a note to “dress to impress” only to arrive at the Roadie challenge, where they must break down two stages and load all of the equipment into trailers, while wearing lingerie of course. The winners get VIP treatment at Bret’s concert and a special date the next day. The concert kicks ass, but one southern gal can’t help but be an unbearable sore loser and party pooper.

Get the featured cocktail recipe: Divide & Conquer Chris has a lot to brag about. His wildly successful craft cocktail bar, Raised By Wolves, was named Imbibe Magazine’s “Cocktail Bar of the Year 2019,” and Esquire declares them as one of “The Best Bars in America, 2019.” As if that wasn’t impressive enough, it is one of the only venues in the U.S. that combines a bar and a fine spirits retail operation under one roof. Oh, and don’t even get us started on about Chris’ amazing head of locks. When Chris isn’t gallivanting across the globe inspiring and empowering bartenders, he is focusing on Simple Serve, a trade-focused marketing agency, and Bartender’s Weekend in San Diego, an annual event he founded with his business partner and long-time friend, Erick Castro. Damn, Chris is one busy dude. Cheers to him. Feeling a bit wild, yourself? Then head over to our library of libations and get inspired to create your own craft cocktail.

Michael Kiser is an innovation strategist in the world of beer and craft beverage. His studio and editorial outlet, Good Beer Hunting (https://www.goodbeerhunting.com/) , is both the leading voice and instigator in the beer world—analyzing the market, pushing the story, and launching new brands. Michael was named one of Imbibe Magazine (http://imbibemagazine.com/imbibe-75-video-michael-kiser/) 's "75 People & Places To Watch" in 2015. He has an MFA in poetry from the School of the Art Institute and lives in the Rogers Park neighborhood of Chicago, a city he's called home for 16 years, but still dearly misses the mountains and rivers of central Pennsylvania. Michael is dad to his two sons: ages 5 and 3. In this episode, Michael and I talk about all the places a young man searches for father figures. We talk about the dangers of static thinking as an entrepreneur and how sometimes you have to force yourself to learn the hard things that don't come naturally. He explains how he channels shame and negative self-talk into powerful motivators and what happens when the anguish of entrepreneurship eclipses other life trauma. Michael also shares how his boys continuously reframe his notion of ability and limitation. This is a deeply personal and cathartic episode.

What were you doing in high school? Will Shurtz of Greenville's Methodical Coffee was already brewing, serving and pop uping his way to stardom in the coffee limelight.

On a gorgeous early spring day, Will visited Tin Roof Farm, brewed a pot of coffee, and got a tour of the farm. He loved meeting all the chickens, turkeys, dogs, bees and was a great guest.

Today’s guest is Jane Peyton, an award-winning drinks educator, author, speaker, broadcaster, and tour guide who runs her own business – the School of Booze – which she founded back in 2008 to offer training, consultancy, and corporate events. Jane tells us what she was doing before she started the School of Booze and how a Venn diagram helped her to discover her perfect career path after she left behind her previous role as a documentary film producer. Jane’s regarded as a bit of a legend here in the UK beer industry – and our conversation gives you a pretty good idea why. You’ll hear from Jane on what it took to set a Guinness World Record, how she’s championed beer as Britain’s national beverage as the founder of Beer Day Britain, and how she’s been recognized for her many contributions to the British beer industry. We discuss some of Jane’s many achievements during our conversation, but I’m also going to mention a few upfront, mainly so you know just how accomplished Jane truly is: She’s a Beer Sommelier and the UK’s first Pommelier, a sommelier specialising in cider Imbibe Magazine named her Drinks Educator of the Year in 2016 She was acknowledged for her Outstanding Individual Achievement in Beer from the Beer & Cider Marketing Awards in 2017, and Just last year, she was honored with a Lifetime Achievement Award from the All-Party Parliamentary Beer Group.  Pretty impressive, huh? Jane tells us what her day-to-day looks like, what accomplishment she’s most proud of, and what she enjoys most about being a part of the beer industry. Here she is…

In honor of Negroni Week sweeping the cocktail land next week (June 4-10), I spoke with Anne Louise Marquis, the National Portfolio Brand Ambassador of Campari America.  Negroni Weekis a celebration of one of the most perfect cocktail creations - the equal parts drink of gin, sweet vermouth, and Campari, but most importantly it is an international charity event that raises money for a variety of global causes. It is sponsored by Imbibe Magazine and Campari and has grown into a worldwide event with over 7,000 venues and businesses participating, but it has humble origins, originally starting out as "Negroni Social" with just a couple of bartenders in Portland, Oregon. Find out all you need to know about Negroni Week, what it’s about, how it began, and how you too can drink for a good cause!

Emma Janzen has built her writing career on a passion for film, design, and flavors. Starting at the bottom of the newspaper totem pole at The Austin Statesman, an interesting opportunity to write about food emerged. This seemingly one off opportunity was the first entry into the bigger world of food and spirits. While residing as a digital editor for Imbibe Magazine, Emma Janzen pursued one of her long time passions, Mezcal. The resulting novel Mezcal: The History, Craft & Cocktails of the World's Ultimate Artisanal Spirit explores the beautiful spirit with eloquence and a touch that only Emma could provide. We chat cider, San Antonio, tacos, and Tim Burton.    

We talk with Emma Janzen, author of Mezcal. Emma is a journalist, photographer, and editor based in Chicago, where she currently works as the digital content editor at Imbibe Magazine. The post Episode #088 – Interview with Emma Janzen appeared first on Speaking Easy.

Tyler Burkum (@tylerburkum) is an internationally touring and studio guitarist (Mat Kearney, Leagues, The Cactus Blossoms, Ingrid Michaelson... just to name a few) He’s a brilliant composer/songwriter too… but I didn’t interview him because of all that nonsense. I played with Tyler a few months back and as soon as we got to talking, I knew that I needed to sit down one-on-one over beers and chat. The way this guy approaches life and thinks about things will inspire you to want to be more open to what life has to offer even if you’re not a musician.    In this episode we talk about: -Being cool with not being the right person for every gig -Realizing that being present in the moment is more important than anything else -Tyler’s experience being picked up at 17 to go on a rock tour   -Overseas tattoo stories -The enjoyment of traveling with music and the education of traveling the world. How it changes the way you view life and culture    -Deciding to be someone who says yes -Letting your mind remind your heart to ease it’s insecurities. -the pointlessness of being competitive in music -Producing yourself: The need to accept who you are and who you’re not. The importance of knowing what you’re NOT good at. -What ’success’ means to Tyler -Using social media as a musician -Advice Tyler would give to his past self that may just change your life.
