 In today's episode, I got to catch up with recent AB Tech graduate Ryan Schrader, who just completed a whirlwind tour of craft distilleries and breweries in Pennsylvania, all while helping out his 93-year-old grandfather. Ryan and I tasted through a plethora of bottles he brought back—including unique rye whiskies, innovative cask-finished bourbons, and a standout unaged apple brandy. Our conversation dove deep into Pennsylvania's rye revival, the craft spirit scene, and his own whiskey-making journey at AB Tech. We also looked ahead to his upcoming sensory adventure in Ireland, where Ryan plans to tour iconic distilleries and hunt down rare single malts (with oats, of course) to expand his already impressive palate. Ryan graduated from AB Tech in May 2025 with a passion for craft distillation, whiskey, and lifelong learning. Originally from Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, he brings a family history rich in whiskey lore, a home collection of rare decanters, and a keen curiosity about historic and emerging trends in the industry. His hands-on experience at AB Tech includes producing an Irish-style whiskey aged on maple wood—using homemade kiln-dried chunks from a tree in his own backyard. Ryan is always on the lookout for innovative flavors and is dedicated to exploring the global craft spirit community. “My love and passion for distillates has led me not only to become a lifelong learner and seek the associate's degree here at AB Tech, but also to find some pretty rare—well, pretty amazing—distilleries in Pennsylvania.” ~Ryan Schrader Today on Consuming the Craft:Pennsylvania is experiencing a craft spirits renaissance, particularly with rye whiskey, and features innovative distilleries such as Hidden Still Spirits (David E.), Stoll & Wolf, and Bluebird Distilling.Ryan discovered whiskey aged in unique casks, including those made from Umburana (a South American wood) and rum barrels, which added distinct cinnamon and sweet notes.Stoll & Wolf's unaged apple brandy at 107 proof was a standout for its creamy mouthfeel, delicate sweetness, and fresh apple aroma, despite being a clear spirit.Lancaster Brewing Company, with over 30 years of brewing experience, has recently added distilling to its repertoire, including a straight bourbon whiskey finished in its own Wee Heavy ale barrels.Many Pennsylvania craft distillers also provide top-notch food service, contributing to a full sensory experience.Ryan's capstone project involved crafting a traditional Irish whiskey with an innovative maple wood finish using kiln-dried, home-charred local maple.Upcoming plans for Ryan include a distillery-focused trip to Ireland, with visits to notable locations such as Middleton, Pierce Lyons (located in a historic church), and Kilbeggan, with a focus on tracking down oat-infused single malts, including Drumshanbo.The importance of glassware in tasting spirits was discussed, as different shapes bring out subtle variations in aroma and flavor.

Known for brokering some of the most iconic ranch sales in American history, Sam takes us behind the scenes of his legendary career. From orchestrating the $725 million sale of the historic W.T.

With over 50 years in the ranch real estate business, he offers a rare glimpse into the world of West Texas land deals, where history, legacy, and big money collide. Tune in for an unforgettable ride through the plains, filled with cowboy lore, insider insights, and the quiet wisdom of a man who's shaped the landscape of Texas ranching.

Kent is joined by Sam Middleton, the seasoned West Texas ranch broker from Chas. S. Middleton and Son, who orchestrated the blockbuster sale of the 266,000-acre Four Sixes Ranch to a group led by “Yellowstone” creator Taylor Sheridan. Sam walks us through the grit and glory of brokering one of Texas' most storied land deals, a testament to his decades in the ranch real estate game. But the conversation takes a legendary turn when Sam shares an unforgettable tale: the day Fran Morrison, a no-nonsense country woman, outsmarted corporate raider T. Boone Pickens. When Boone targeted Fran's 15,000-acre ranch she refused to buckle. With a steely resolve and a rancher's savvy, Fran turned Boone's aggressive bid into a masterclass in negotiation, holding out until he nearly doubled his offer, leaving the billionaire stunned and the locals cheering. Sam, who brokered that David-and-Goliath showdown, reveals how Fran's victory became a West Texas legend. From the Four Sixes to Fran's triumph, this episode delivers a rollicking mix of history, heart, and the high-stakes dance of Texas land deals.
