Today we're discussing the rules of rum with Karen Hoskin, founder of Montanya Distillers, which produces some of the best rum in the country — right here in Crested Butte, Colorado.If you're someone who hasn't been all that into rum, this conversation will shed light on why you might have felt that way; explain why Karen doesn't make Montanya's rum the way that a lot of mainstream rum is produced; and is a pretty amazing crash course in the history of rum, rum culture, the longstanding tradition of “mountain rum”, and more.As you'll hear, Karen not only has a lot of conviction about her own rules for rum making, but she has a number of deeply held principles that extend well beyond the craft of exceptional rum-making.TOPICS & TIMES:Turning Point: Dec 23, 1988 (3:25)Rum in the 2000's (8:55)Ways of Making Rum (13:28)​​Rum & Louisiana Sugar Cane (20:47)Laws for US Sugar Cane (29:42)Why Distill in Colorado?

She talks the talk and walks the walk. Also she is passionate about the environment and about reducing single-use trash from disposable products. Karen not only makes rum, but also makes music.

Karen started Montanya about 11 years ago and since then she's built a rum brand that is distributed in 44 states in the US and in seven countries. Just this past year Montanya was named to two B Corp Best For The World Lists—Best Overall and Best for the Environment. Her premium craft rum distillery is located in Crested Butte, Colo. When Karen began the craft distillery Montanya Distillers in 2008, she was the only female in a male-dominated industry in the US. This impacted her ability to gain respect, buy materials, sell her products, be safe from sexual harassment, and be taken seriously in her work.It also impacted the willingness of banks to lend her money, the willingness of investors to get involved, and venture capital firms to say yes. Karen watched male colleagues with smaller and less successful companies access resources regularly denied to her. Yet she persisted, stayed focused, and refused to let circumstances deny her success. Now, after more than a decade in business, her company produces double-digit growth annually, and she is one of the larger private-sector employers in her community.

Karen is the CEO/co-founder of Montanya Distillers and Zoetica. When Karen started Montanya in 2008, she was the only female in a male-dominated industry in the US. This impacted her ability to gain respect, buy materials, sell her products, be safe from sexual harassment, and be taken seriously in her work. It also impacted the willingness of banks to lend her money, the willingness of investors to get involved, and venture capital firms to say yes (in 2018, female founders received 2% of venture capital in America and 4% of bank financing). Karen watched male colleagues with smaller and less successful companies access resources regularly denied to her. Yet she persisted, stayed focused, and refused to let circumstances deny her success. Now, after more than a decade in business, her companies produce double-digit growth annually, and she is one of the larger private-sector employers in her community.

At this moment, Montanya Distillers was born. Flash forward eight years and Montanya produces three rums, is distributed in forty-four states and seven countries and has won countless international awards. In this conversation, we discuss being a female distiller in a male-dominated industry, building your wings on the way down, and not being constrained by what other people think.

Getting Started in REI - Russ Keith w/ Jeff Montanya

Karen Hoskin can be described as a serial entrepreneur, having started a number of businesses over the years.  She is perhaps best known for Montanya Distillers, however, which produces craft rum right here in Crested Butte.  The tasting room, located in the heart of Crested Butte across the street from the post office, has become one of Crested Butte's go-to visits for small plates and a delicious rum cocktail.  In this podcast episode, Karen and I discussed her business endeavors, the process of making rum in the Colorado mountains, and making the move from Silverton, where Montanya's originally started.  We also discussed collaboration between distillers, wine makers, and others, which is quite similar to what's going on in the craft beer industry (see episode 10- Dave Nornes of Irwin Brewing). On top of that, Karen is an advocate for her employees, many of whom have been able to purchase property locally, and have gone on to start their own businesses.  She's also making Montanya as green as it can be- minimizing waste wherever possible.  And since that isn't enough on her plate, so also started Zoetica, which aims to reduce waste by selling kits with life's daily essentials.

Like so many people we've had the pleasure to interview, Brandon has been in the hospitality business for his while life. And also like so many people we've interviewed, you can't listen to him talk without wanting to be on his team. He is a GM who still works bar shifts, handles kitchen manager duties, and does all sorts of things to help make Montanya run well. He loves what he does, loves the organization he works for, and has a great overall perspective on how to get hospitality right. Enjoy...

Renee Newton graduated with a degree in biology and chemistry, came to Crested Butte to work for the Rocky Mountain Biological Labs, had an opportunity to become a distiller at Montanya Distillers, and now is the bar manager and head of special events. She's a diverse, genuine, fun person who you'd love to have on your team. Enjoy...

In this episode of the Distillery Nation podcast we chat with Karen Hoskin co-founder of Montanya Distillery, located in Crested Butte, Colorado. They are best known for their rums and in this episode we talk about women in disitlling, Karen's history into the craft spirits world, favorite books and drinks, going carbon free at their disitllery and packaging and so much more. I hope you enjoy this and find value. If you do please leave us a review on Apple Podcasts, we read every single one and they help the podcast grow.

Karen had her own graphic design and web design business for twelve years. One day in 2008 she was sitting on a beach in Belize with her husband, and realized she was tired of helping build other people's entrepreneurial dream. She wanted to use her skills and energy for something of her own. She wanted to start ... a rum distillery. Four months later, Montanya Distillers opened it's doors. Today it's thriving and very successful, shipping rum to 44 states and 7 foreign countries. A very inspiring story. Enjoy...

Karen Hoskin is a 20-year entrepreneur based in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado. She started her first company in 1998 and recently founded her fourth company, Zoetica. Each company has had a sustainability ethos. She built a LEED-certified preschool between 2001 and 2005. Then in 2008, she built one of the USA's first green craft distilleries, Montanya Distillers. In 2017, she turned her personal commitment to zero waste into a company by launching Zoetica, which designs and makes zero waste systems. These systems are ideal for consumers, like herself, who want to refuse convenience trash. Karen's focus on sustainability affects every aspect of her personal and professional life. It determines everything from how she travels to what packaging she accepts. It even affects what clothing she wears and how her homes and offices are constructed and powered. The Take-Aways: Montanya Distillers and Zoetica are two sustainable-committed businesses that are truly making a difference in the green business world. Karen wanted to create a solution to the global plastic problem, so she launch Zoetica to help people overcome barriers to using “convenience trash” in their daily lives. The Warrior, a system made by Zoetica, has everything you need to live a plastic-free on-the-go life. We need to take this plastic issue seriously, because it’s not going anywhere anytime soon. Our children, and our children’s children, will be left to deal with the plastic we’ve been generating over the past 50 years. Be conscious of your footprint. Karen Hoskin, founder of Montanya Distillers and Zoetica, is proving what it means to be sustainability-committed in the green business world. This woman has taken running eco-friendly companies to a whole new level, and is a true role-model for all of us in the green business world. Karen has owned Montanya Distillers for ten years now, which focuses solely on mountain-distilled rum located in Crested Butte, Colorado. Being one of the first women in the craft distilling field, she’s paving the way for women in the industry, as well as setting an example of how to successfully run a sustainable distillery. Montanya’s rum is gaining recognition on an international level for their high-quality spirits. What sets them apart from other rum brands is their mountain-distilled processes, rather than island-distilled, which focuses on higher elevation, first-pressed sugarcane juice, the absence of molasses, and of course, their deeply rooted commitment to sustainability. While running Montanya Distillers, Karen noticed habits in her personal life that weren’t aligned with her business’s sustainability mission. She realized she was creating “convenience trash” while traveling for her business - plastic utensils, containers, coffee cups, things that make it easy to move from place to place. “I wasn’t walking the walk,” she stated, “I’m not doing this the way I believe I should be.” After this realization, she created a new business plan and eight months later launched Zoetica in September of 2017. Zoetica is a system of reusable bags, containers, utensils, cotton napkins, among other reusable products, to address the “convenience trash” epidemic we’re facing in the world today. The goal was to create an easy way to refuse throw away items all day long, no matter where you are, or what you’re presented with. Karen’s favorite item from Zoetica is The Warrior system. This system comes in a purse-like bag that has two cup holders, and inside is a separate system (called The Nomad) which includes a reusable beverage cup, a water bottle, a market tote, a produce bag, a cotton napkin, two leak-proof stainless steel containers, a reusable straw, a fork and a spoon. Karen’s goal has been to help inform consumers of the power they have in changing the plastic problem our world is facing. Her focus has been to spread the word as far and wide was she can, with a unique focus on also educating vendors of their footprint. Karen’s parting advice to all of us was powerful; we need to be serious about the unnecessary, toxic plastic our country is producing. She, like so many of us, is extremely concerned about the amount of plastic piling up in our oceans, in landfills, in our backyards. “We need to take this seriously, and if we refuse to take it seriously, our kids will be living on a completely different planet, or living in spaceships orbiting because they won’t be able to grow anything.” Karen is on the forefront of running sustainability-committed businesses and battling the plastic epidemic. Take a listen to the podcast episode to find out more about her background, the steps she’s taken, and goals she’s working toward, to help make a difference for our planet.

Today’s podcast includes two minis sandwiched between a couple of wonderful songs.   Here’s what’s on tap: Mini 1: Denver…in which we find our Driven to Drink couple uncomfortably stuffed, with food and booze…and the energy they intended to bring to this fades quickly, which is why what was supposed to be a full-on podcast becomes a mini. High…or perhaps lowlights: Greg uses vocal fry and effeminate prosody, which is not wonderful. On the other hand, we love the Aussie accent and its apparently oft-used rising intonation that might typically be interpreted as a question in the U.S., but perhaps not in Sydney. Downtown Denver, in terms of food and drink, gets two enthusiastic thumbs up. “The Roosevelt” is an exceptional modern speakeasy near the convention center. Greg went classic with a Sazerac and a Manhattan. Jen leaned modern with two proprietary, fragrant, time intensive drinks. Lots of local beer and spirits.  Lots.  And also other things quite legal in Colorado.  Fun, kids.  Very fun. We went to “The Kitchen” and it is an outstanding place. Go there, em effers. They had the best pork tacos on the planet. It was like duck confit, but pork based.  If Greg were placed on a deserted island with only one food item forever and ever, he would choose the pork tacos from The Kitchen.  They are the wind beneath his wings.  Greg also tried Montanya rum andA.D. Law’s 4-Grain straight bourbon and rye whiskeys.  All of it was, like The Kitchen, outstanding.  Really, people. Denver is dry as fuck. Dehydration is impossible to avoid. Denver International Airport’s architecture is outstanding. Mini 2: Post-Denver…in which your faithful companions go all-in with Lagunitas.  Jen has, of course, Hop Stoopid (102 IBU, 8% ABV). Greg goes with Brown Shugga (51 IBU, 9.8% ABV). We read the wit and oddly deep prosetry (…it’s like prose but it’s like poetry…) on the Lagunitas bottles, and we wonder, “How do you say Eschew?!” On a side note, Jen had an imperial IPA in Denver, “Jagged Mountain Triple Bypass” coming in at a whopping 450 IBU, and an almost impossible 14.5% ABV. Very sweet.  Kind of syrupy.  But delicious. Beware Jen’s big sneezes in the midst of the IBU conversation.  They are loud and they are abrupt, and if you’re wearing headphones it might be less than a pleasant experience for you. The Music: “Get Out of Denver” by Bob Seger“Rocky Mountain High” by John Denver“I Can Read Your Mind” by R.J. Heid We present to you, “Get In to Denver.”
