Podcasts about industry city distillery

This week on Fuhmentaboudit, hosts Chris Cuzme and Mary Izett are celebrating their 100th episode! Kicking off the show with some upcoming events, the duo then officially welcomes Dave Kyrejko of Industry City Distillery. Talking about how he got into the business, he shares that Industry City Distillery is the most recent venture of The City Foundry, a Brooklyn-based research, design, and engineering group focused on improving small-scale manufacturing processes by blending science and art. After building the distillery from scratch, Dave and his cohorts started transforming beet sugar into a flavorful and delicate vodka. Dave goes on to give Chris and Mary the inside scoop on his use of encapsulated yeast and why it’s benefitted his alcohol production. Tune in to hear more about his facility and processes – it’s definitely a candid and informative discussion! This program was brought to you by The International Culinary Center. “The idea of the city foundry was to use science blend that with a healthy quality of art to further both.” [10:05] “The reason why we’re so interested in the flavors is the basic definition of vodka. A lot of people think the basic flavor of vodka is that it should be colorless, odorless, and tasteless. It can’t taste like its base source.” [21:25] —Dave Kyrejko on Fuhmentaboudit!

Season 2. Episode 5: Dave Kyrejko, Co-Founder of Industry City Distillery Jonathan Ford, Designer and Founding Creative Partner of Pearlfisher, speaks to the people behind the brands of the future who understand the need to harness creativity, design and bold ideas to create success. Here Jonathan speaks to Dave Kyrejko, Co-Founder of The City Foundry and Industry City Distillery. Dave Kyrejko’s inspiration to start a vodka distillery was actually a by-product of a happy accident: by using a scientific method of fermentation instead of the more traditional approach, Dave inadvertently found a more efficient way to make a spirit that was far superior to the competition’s. In 2011, Dave decided to turn his happy accident into a business and assembled an unlikely team from across the country: five utility guys, all younger than 30, all fascinated with improving processes, all with resumes totally void of any distilling experience. Industry Standard Vodka is now their baby, a unique sugar beet vodka that boasts a flavor-profile as unique as the process used to make it.

Small distilleries are becoming more and more popular in New York City, and this week on “In the Drink”, Joe Campanale highlights one of the more interesting projects happening right now – Industry City Distilleries. Tune in as he chats with Peter Simon and Zac Bruner, who describe the inspiration behind the distillery and what it was like taking the initial steps in design and production. Find out why they decided to focus on vodka at first – and how they use beet sugar, which is usually a European tradition. Tune in for an on-air tasting and tons of insight into the life of an urban distiller. This program was sponsored by Fairway Market.

Then, you can go anywhere from there.” [09:00] “We’re caring more and more about our food and now people are starting to care more about what we’re drinking.” [15:00] –Peter Simon of Industry City Distillery on In the Drink
