We had the privilege to meet up with artisan cooper, John Cox for an afternoon of discovery and learning about the lost art of coopering. "Whale oil, tobacco, cotton, cement, salted meats, fish, eggs, pelts, nails, glass, you name it...it was shipped, stored, and used in a barrel. In 1901 there are 90 million people in America and there are 93 million barrels. Our ancestors relied on this and the Cooper’s who made these, maintained them, stored them and access them for 2000 years."We originally thought this episode was solely about traditional barrel manufacturing; however, we found out rather quickly that it's not just about barrels. Yes, barrels are a big part of Johns story and his cooperage; however, he designs and manufactures other wooden vessels for for fermented foods as well as fermentable drinks. He has worked with many brewers, distillers and now chefs. Firkins, barrels, wash backs, muro cabinets, kojiban, kioke, krout mashers, mash paddles are the range of John's products.We look forward to sampling products aged in John's vessel in the near future!

We spent an amazing hour with distiller/winemaker, Stephen Osborn & drummer/musician Lou Caldarola at Hudson Valley's, Stoutridge winery & distillery. We learned & consumed absinthe from around the world including an absinthe distilled and bottled over 121 years ago! Historical absinthe was produced for medicinal purposes and can be traced as far back as Egyptian times.Stephen shared his passion for distilling which is deeply rooted in chemistry. He is relatively new to producing absinthe but after consuming his expressions as well as different absinthes from around the world it is very clear, Stephen has a deep understanding and passion when it comes to producing this wonderful liqueur.There are many myths and pre-conceptions when it comes to the "green fairy". Lou helped to debunk some of these misconceptions by sharing his historic knowledge of absinthe as well as the some of the classic ways to both prepare and consume the liqueur. Lou also opened a french absinthe which was distilled over 120 years ago! Consuming it was the equivalent of traveling back in time. It also was clear that the base spirit of this historic absinthe was most likely, cognac. Which was a little unusual but not surprising.We highly suggest making your way to the Hudson Valley and spend an afternoon at Stoutridge. There are a few absinthe expressions to sample as well as a many other spirits and liqueurs to try. Don't worry, there's a food truck! The experience was unforgettable and we're looking forward to return soon.

Award winning author Judith Flanders discusses her book Christmas: A Biography. She explains two major assumptions that are made about the holiday and how we have grown to accept many myths and legends as fact. Christmas is a holiday that we all know, do not really know at all. She talks about the early Roman celebrations such as Saturnalia and the importance of the winter solstice. Flanders also discusses the reasons that December 25th was chosen to celebrate the nativity. She does into detail about the many food traditions that accompany the holiday. She explains the reason for the use of greenery and the history of the use of the Christmas tree. She covers the giving of gifts and the origins of Santa Clause from St. Nicholas to Coca-Cola and she busts a few myths along the way. She even discusses the history of the reindeer from Donner and Blitzen to Rudolph - for who we have Montgomery Ward and Gene Autry to thank for that. She explains how carols did not start as Christmas songs and were not incorporated into church and religious services until modern times. She discusses the importance of carols during WWII and their proliferation due to radio and TV. She finishes with what Christmas really is and what it could look like in the future.HOST: Rob MellonFEATURED BREW: Rogue's 2020 Santa's Private Reserve Peppermint Bark Milk Stout, Rogue Brewery, Newport, OregonBOOK: Christmas: A Biographyhttps://www.amazon.com/Christmas-Biography-Judith-Flanders/dp/1250190797/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3N25ZBE7MD30G&dchild=1&keywords=christmas+a+biography+by+judith+flanders&qid=1608248862&sprefix=christmas+a+bio%2Caps%2C168&sr=8-1MUSIC: Bones Fork

New York Times bestselling author and historian Rick Perlstein explains in detail the rise of the New Right and conservative movement in American politics in the 1970s. He covers the election of 1976 and how Gerald Ford struggled to gain footing, Ronald Reagan almost won the Republican nomination, and Jimmy Carter miraculously won the presidency. He describes how Carter had to deal with a rising tide of conservative sentiment from the evangelicals, tax warriors and neoconservatives from his first day in office in 1977. Perlstein talks about the myriad of problems that President Carter faced including inflation, stock market lows, foreign policy challenges around the globe, an energy crisis and high unemployment. He juxtaposes that with the America that Ronald Reagan is promising. The author explains the failure of the ERA amendment and the "Achilles heal of liberal Democrats". He includes references to pop culture and how movies from the 1970s provide us a window into American culture. He concludes with an in-depth discussion on the Election of 1980 and the political ascendancy of Ronald Reagan.HOST: Rob MellonFEATURED BREW: Dead Guy Ale, Rogue Brewery, Newport, OregonBOOK: Reaganland: America's Right Turn 1976-1980http://www.rickperlstein.net/MUSIC: Bones Forkhttps://bonesfork.com/

We had a follow-up conversation with Kentucky poultry farmer, Charles Morris. Charles produces around 1.1 million chickens every 6-8 weeks for consumers. Charles and John Buttram were featured in Morgan Spulock's documentary, Super Size Me 2: Holy Chicken. The documentary opened consumers eyes to "big chicken" and how oppressive and misleading the poultry industry is. Since 2017 Charles, John and other farmers have all received threats and other painful reprocussions for their role as "whistle blowers" in Morgan's documentary. Change has definitely begun as a result of the 2017 documentary but clearly, more needs to be done.Most recently, some "big chicken" executives are showing up on the radar accused of price fixing by the federal justice department. CNN "The one-count indictment levels charges against the Pilgrim's Pride CEO, Jayson Penn, and former vice president, Roger Austin. Colorado-based Pilgrim's Pride (PPC) is the second largest broiler chicken supplier in the country, after Tyson Foods. Also charged were Mikell Fries and Scott Brady, president and vice president of Georgia-based Claxton Poultry Farms."We support our farmers 100% and it is our hope that positive change WILL come; however, It's just not coming quick enough. Please listen and help spread the word.
This episode is about the worlds first indoor aquaculture farm. "Heron Farms started as a research question asked by graduate student and founder Sam Norton at the College of Charleston: what if we used the problem of sea level rise as the main resource for a new kind of agriculture? In June 2018 the concept won first place at the South Carolina Department of Agriculture's inaugural ACRE Start-up Competition." And so it began...Not only has Sam created a succesfull indoor farming system, he has also created opportunity to expand and potentially franchise his model. His systems have been designed utilizing shipping containers and are becoming increasingly streamlined and easy to operate. Food AND habitat restoration could be popping up in a coastal city near you.Sam has also worked with local Charleston chefs and brewers to produce some innovative dishes including a Coastal Harvest Gose with Low Tide Brewing. We also have word that there is a distilled spirit project in the works. Cant wait, Tyler! Order your sea beans here!
Meet Jean Black, AKA the "Black Wine Guy". Jean has had a very long, interesting and unconventional career in the wine business, which began at the oldest wine shop in New York City, Acker wines. "What started as a package store in 1820, has today become the oldest and most respected wine shop in America. Acker Merrall Condit, located on the beautiful and historic Upper West side of Manhattan, has provided expert wine services for nearly two centuries." While at Acker, Jean sold, stocked, learned and tasted wines from all over the world. Jean quickly rose through the ranks at Acker and quickly became one of the top wine experts at Acker. It wasn't long before Jean found himself traveling to California wine country to buy wine directly from the vineyards. It was this time Jean fell in love with the "wine country" lifestyle. Hard-working farm life surrounded by great people, great wine, great food, even greater stories, occasional campfires and late nights. Many of Jean's selections come from this award winning vineyards and although we're not in California sipping on these fine wines it does give the consumer subtle whispers of Jean's amazing experience's at these vineyards. A FEW of Jean's top vineyards include, Ledge, Turtle Rock, Hill of Tara, and Argot.This episode Jean paired two wines to serve with our Chef Jose Andreas "tinned" sea urchin ( Matt loved the urchin, Rich did NOT). A California blend from Willamette Valley and Spanish Txakolina. Both wines are phenomenal with seafood and affordable.
Had a great time meeting up with Matt Ketchum, an oyster farmer from the North Fork of Long Island. Matt owns and operates Peconic Gold Oysters which has been operating since 2013 on a 10 acre underwater plot. Matt: "The nearby Peconic River provides a unique input of minerals. It is believed that the iron supplied by the river and the algae that bloom in the shallow waters combine to produce the gold color apparent on the oysters' shells throughout the growing season. They've noticed that an edible red algae, Gracillaria (seaweed salad) also thrives here. It is this combination of environmental factors acting in perfect harmony that combine perfectly to make for a cool, crisp, sweet flavor, and creamy texture, with a slightly metallic and smoky finish."In addition to selling whole oysters, Peconic also sells freshly shucked oysters to go. Their farm stand is open every day and is set up for no-touch, curb side service.In addition, Matt has also collaborated with several business to produce oyster kimchi, oyster quiche and plans on working with a local brewery to produce an oyster beer.We wrapped up the session discussing food and beverage pairings. Peconic loves to pair their oysters with wines from local vineyards. In particular, a cold, crisp Chenin Blanc. We met up with Sterling from Mama Roux who crafts "Cest Bon" a White Negroni made in collaboration with The Spirits Lab. We can't wait to try Peconic oysters matched up with the White Negroni!
In this episode we go rogue… Rogue Brewery that is! We're talking about WORLD HEADQUARTERS located in Newport OR. Included is Dead Guy, Yellow Snow, Batsquatch, Combat Wombats and much more. Enjoy part II of our coastal series with your favorite brew.
We met up with Rick and Andrew at Shady Knolls distillery to learn about their distilled spirits which are made from apples and rye grown right on their own farm. This is a father, son-in-law operation which began in 2011. They both love traditional French apple brandy which is why decided to utilize traditional NY fermentables, apples and winter rye. They planted 1800 trees with 120 varieties. By 2015 the trees were producing, processing equipment was purchased, all they needed was a still. In 2016 they purchased a vintage 225 gallon Alembic Charentais Pot Still manufactured by the leading French manufacturer, Chalvignac Prulho Distillation which required two technicians from France to fly in to help and install. They built a grainery and installed a grain silo, hammer mill and grain processing equipment and by early 2017 Shady Knoll finally started distilling. They produce apple brandy, pommeau and rye whiskey.
We met up with Hudson Valley farmer, Doug Giles at Walbridge Farm. Doug has been raising predominantly Black Angus since 1994. He purchased the farm in a 15 minute sale from the the Wallbridge's which have been operating the farm since 1950. Today Doug manages around 250 head on a fed on a diet of their own silage, haylage andsunflower meal (they grow sunflowers for Hudson Valley Cold-Pressed Oil). They don't spray pesticides or insecticides and their soil and water are tested yearly. In addition, crops are rotated and cattle are frequently moved throughout their fields preserving pastures from erosion. After approximately 18 months cattle are taken to Adams Farm Meat Processing where they are humanely processed and aged. The Livestock holding pens at Adams have been professionally designed by Dr. Temple Grandin, the world's foremost authority in the humane handling of animals. The movement of the animals from the holding pens to the processing plant is through a series of one-way gates along a calming, circuitous path that never retraces steps. This is the most humane method possible and substantially reduces and even eliminates the release of stress hormones to provide a better tasting end product. All this care definitely ensures a tasty end product. We enjoyed a medium rare, bacon, Jalapeño and cheddar burger topped with a sriracha mayo.Wallbridge products are available at Hudson Milk, Black Snake Brewing & The Market at Mabbettsville. Questions about buying whole, half or quarter cows as well as beef farming questions contact Farmer Doug directly 1-845-235-3789
Two Sunday's a month Nod Hill Brewing in Ridgefield, CT hosts morning yoga at their brewery. We signed up for a little "ohm & foam" followed by a conversation with father-son brewing team, David and Rob Kaye. SaraDavid's wife was responsible for the "ohm" part of our day and led our yoga practice which was fantastic. David and Rob Kaye were inspired to open their own operation after a 2008 visit to Salzburg where Rob had beer for the first time! Not a huge fan of carbonated beverages at that point, something changed in him and he's been enjoying craft beer ever since. They've been operating since 2017 and have converted all their power needs to solar, inspiring other breweries to begin the process themselves."We founded Nod Hill Brewery in northern Fairfield County, CT in 2017 with the intention of crafting expressive, balanced, and unique beers that encourage a spirit of thoughtful enjoyment. We gravitate towards brewing hop-forward modern beer, traditionally-influenced European styles, & wood-aged native ales."TAPROOM HOURSWED & THURS: 4-9pmFRI & SAT: 12-10pmSUN: 12-6pmCLOSED MON/TUES
Another great DeCicco's beer podcast. We met up with a"Zen" sour-master John Anthony Gargiulo of Hudson Valley Brewery. All though they brew many styles, we chose to focus on their sours for this episode. We have seen and experienced the relatively new American wave of sours and we've learned that brewers like John have approached sours very much the same way chefs approach their dishes. It's all about balance. John brews utilizes a spectacular array of fruits, berries and other unique ingredients to help achieve balance which results in some of the best sours we've experienced. We say experience because thats exactly what it is. Sours hit all the senses and then some! If you are in the Hudson Valley or plan on going, visit beautiful Beacon, NY. Go for a hike in the Hudson Highlands and be sure to stop by Hudson Valley Brewery to imbibe and experience!
Another great brewing podcast at Deccico's markets. We met up with Rushing Duck Brewery co-founder Nikki Cavanaugh. Nikki has been brewing beer since college which led her and her husband, Dan to open Rushing Duck in 2012. Nikki is our first female brewer to interview and It was refreshing to hear her perspective on craft brewing from a largely male-dominated industry. And wow, she has brewed a lot since 2012 their list of beers brewed, including cider is impressive, tasty and always inventive."Rushing Duck Brewing Company is a small, family owned and operated brewery located in the Historic District of Chester, New York that began selling beer in August of 2012. Based in Orange County, our beer is distributed throughout the Hudson Valley exclusively by Gasko & Meyer Inc. We produce a wide variety of tasty beers. Hoppy, malty, American-styled, Belgian influenced, barrel aged, sours, you name it. First and foremost we brew beer that we like to drink."TASTING ROOM
Had a great sit down with brewery co-owner Paul Halayko of Newburgh Brewing. Paul a former CPA partnered with college friend Chris Basso a brewer and French Culinary grad to start up their own project in the heart of Newburgh. Newburgh city, proper has an incredibly rich AND dangerous past. The dangerous part is rapidly diminishing in part to local business and residents committed to turning this historic gem around. We have posted multiple podcasts highlighting the renaissance Newburgh is feeling and it's incredible to see young entrepreneurs set up diverse business bringing light, energy and good karma back to a city that has seen its day. Hudson Valley Magazine asked Paul about setting up shop in Newburgh: “Look, on the logistical side there’s no doubt that it was more financially feasible in Newburgh. And strategically, it’s located at a crossroads of Interstate 84, the New York State Thruway, and the [Metro-North] train station, which is right across the river in Beacon,” Halayko says. “But for everybody who asks us ‘Why Newburgh? Why in such a decayed spot?’ we reply that it’s not decaying. Yeah, it’s fallen on hard times. But Newburgh has a rich, amazing history and was once considered one of the best places to live. It’s coming back, and we want to be part of the revitalization.” If you have found your way to Beacon, NY perhaps you'll go a bit further and explore the west side of the Hudson, Newburgh. Enjoy, art, food, diverse culture and of course a cold beer at Newburgh Brewing.
We sat down with Anthony, head cider maker at Hardscabble Cider. Hardscrabble Cider's location and production takes place at Harvest Moon farm and orchard in North Salem, NY. "Hardscrabble Cider was founded by three brothers with firm horticultural backgrounds – Alex, Kevin and Ben Covino of Brewster, NY. Farmers, scientists and businessmen all around, the brothers found inspiration in the words of local hero, Theodore Roosevelt, “Do what you can, with what you have, where you are”; and (Mother Nature willing) apples they have a plenty." They have a few varieties growing at the farm; however, Anthony typically uses Macintosh for the ciders which are prevalent through out the orchard. The family run operation is an iconic destination for people looking for a quick getaway from the hustle-and-bustle of NYC. The farm is the quickest, far away place from the city and although visiting anytime is great, the weekends during the fall season is full of all sorts of fun activities which includes much imbibing & music. Anthony and the crew at Hardscrabble have carved out a niche for themselves by partnering up with farmer Todd to explore a multitude of produce and botanicals available to them at Harvest Moon. They often infuse into their base ciders producing some amazing blends. We explored a beet cider, jalapeño cider as well as a hopped cider. One of our favorites is to blend both beet and the hopped cider together. With a rich display of tap handles and expressions we highly suggest having some fun by exploring the limitless blending opportunities. They have a full service tasting room including retail for NY craft spirits, wine, beer and cider. Enjoy your visit next time you're in the Hudson Valley.

We met up with Zac a local historian & bartender at The North Plank Tavern in Newburgh, NY. We sat down over a couple of classic prohibition-era cocktails (recipes below) and proceeded to learn its rich history dating back to the mid nineteenth century. The original tavern was built as a hotel and became a tavern and boarding house by the turn of the twentieth century. During prohibition the tavern continued to sell alcohol and operated as a speakeasy complete with illegal stills and trap doors to hide production and alcohol. Mitch Nixon, owner at the time of prohibition was reported to make the finest applejack in the Hudson Valley. Similar in flavor to a fine French calvados. Zac's father bought the dilapidated tavern from Mitch in 1980 where he began a rebuild. This is when his father found moonshine stills, trap doors filled with prohibition era bottles (still filled), gambling equipment and guns. This is when the true history of the historic tavern became very apparent. We ended the episode learning about the two ghosts that inhabit North Plank. This includes one ghost that has been described as looking like the "Monopoly man", complete with morning suit, bowtie and top-hat. If you're in the Hudson Valley add North Plank to your list of must try experiences. The North Plank Road Tavern is a fine dining restaurant. They use locally sourced ingredients to produce the finest meals for their clientele. The dining rooms are a mastery of "Trompe l'oeil," a unique rendition of painting plaster walls to resemble other materials such as wood paneling and stone. This favored early art form is highlighted by a circa 1900 impressionist fresco of the scenic Hudson River entitled "Pecheur" by a W. F., in the middle dining room.Between The Sheets cocktailHanky Panky Cocktail
We met up with Jean-Paul Kyrillos, Co-founder/ CRO at Farmshelf to learn about the newest hydroponic farming technology on the market. Unlike other hydroponic systems Farmshelf's integrated smart farming has made it incredibly easy and productive for restaurants, other business's to enjoy year-round farming. We we're able to see Farmshelf units in action at José Andrés's new restaurant, Mercado Litte Spain."We grow sage, kale, parsley, and lettuce in our Farmshelf. It’s very high-tech, and it’s about the future.” -José AndrésIs Farmshelf sustainable? "Farmshelf eliminates food waste and plastic packaging; you are growing and harvesting just what you need and using the produce where you are. Plus, while most fresh food is shipped across the country (in the US food travels an average of 1,500 miles), Farmshelf reduces the distance traveled from miles to feet. Farmshelf is a closed-loop hydroponic system that uses 90% less water than conventional farming. Each unit plugs into a standard wall outlet and uses custom, efficient LED lights."Contact farmer@farmshelf.com for general questions or grow@farmshelf.com for sales inquiries.
We met up with Scott & Kyran to discuss the next evolution in craft beverages! This is what happens when Captain Lawrence brewery has an abundance of fermented mash. The next logical step? Build out an addition to the brewery, buy a monster still that can be fed 300 gallons an hour and start distilling! The result? Amazing spirits ranging from whiskey, vodka and gin. AND they have great plans to create and collaborate on a whole range of other craft distilled spirits. In addition to the distillery they have a beautiful art-deco themed tasting room conducive to liberal imbibing."The tag line for the company — "Distilled and Hand Crafted Using Current Method for Traditional Enjoyment” — is meant to reflect the here and now."Current can mean a lot of things," Vaccaro told The Journal News/lohud. "Distilling has always been considered something old; we're trying to modernize that and put a current spin on our spirits."What sets Current Spirits apart is the continuous column still, which allows distiller Kyran Tompkins to keep the gin flowing (more or less). In more technical terms, it allows the spirits to be in a constant process of distillation, meaning they're capable of drastically higher production than pot stills, which require cleaning after each batch. Column stills also provide a purer, cleaner distillate, he said."
We met up with Tariq, Cindy & Jacqueline at Two Alices Coffee who represent a very unique travel program Global to Local, located in Newburgh, NY. "The program global service-learning provides students with an opportunity to learn while working on a meaningful volunteer project that addresses an authentic community need in a foreign country. By immersing ourselves in another culture to volunteer for positive social change, young people will be better prepared to work within our city of Newburgh to make it a better place." 2020 PROJECT:"After visiting Ecuador in 2017 Cambodia in 2018, and Thailand in 2019, our 2020 project involves traveling to the California-Mexico border, where they will learn about the rich relationship and history between the cities of Tijuana and San Diego. Students will meet with border security guards and tour both sides of the border wall. Because Global to Local also focuses on spending time with grassroots change-makers who have identified a need in their own communities and worked towards solutions to address those needs, students will learn from local organizers who support refugees and immigrants who are seeking entry into the United States, as well as families that have been separated because of recent federal policy decisions."After their trip to Mexico, the students will act as project managers for a volunteer projects in the city of Newburgh. In the past, students’ projects have involved creating and facilitating a Newburgh Youth Leadership Summit and last year, they were finalists in a competition to win $100,000 to fund a to create a shared public learning space in Newburgh that traces and celebrates the city’s rich history. is program is richly diverse with many wonderful facets giving students a very rewarding experience that can last a lifetime. Global to local is funded through donations. Global to Local is a 501c3 charitable program. 100 percent of the funds received ($2,500 for one student) will go towards two weeks of food, airfare, and lodging for one student’s 2019 trip. Donations can be made HERE

Excited to finally meet up with our "coffee shaman", Mike Love. Mike is co-owner of Coffee Labs located in Tarrytown, NY and knows just about everything there is to know about coffee production and tasting. A former proffesional chef, Mike became burnt out at his job and decided to go into business for himself along with his wife, Alicia. Mike took what he knew as a chef and quickly honed them towards the amazing world of coffee. He then took it one step further by actually traveling to coffee plantations around the world and sourcing his beans personally. As a result, he has developed many close relationships over the years ensuring truly fair-trade practices from his sources. Experiencing Coffee Labs coffee is much more than a great cup of coffee. We feel as if we're being transported to that particular plantation while drinking their coffee.Mike: "Coffee Labs Roasters is exceptionally proud to offer a variety of what we like to call Relationship Coffees. Relationship coffee is more to us than just buying green coffee from farmers at origin, it's about forming real friendships with people all over the world. We do business with these people, but we also break bread with them and we know some of their families. We get to know a lot of them pretty well, and we strive to visit origin at least one or two times a year. It's not just about inspecting the farm and tasting the coffee, it's about people."Also Joining us on this podcast via phone from his family coffee plantation in Colombia is Ivan. Ivan is a veterinarian as well as a coffee grower and owner of Cafe Tio Conejo Coffee (Uncle Rabbit). Mike and Ivan have formed a deep relationship over the years producing phenomenal small batch coffee that is truly sustainable and fair-trade. Ivan not only runs the operation he also offers eco-tourism adventures at the plantation. We hope to go soon!

Mike Love of Coffee Labs introduced us to Amy Rothstein at the New York Coffee Festival. Suprisingly, Amy the founder of Dona Chai was not a big chai tea drinker prior to starting her successful Brooklyn-based company. She new she wanted to start a company that encompassed her love of food and passion for ingredients; however, many markets in the beverage industry had become saturated. Thats when she noticed a gap in the market...premium chai tea-based beverages. Amy took it one step further by acquiring single sourced spices which are carefully chosen from around the world. "...We source spices from collectives across the world, paying attention to place of origin, growing conditions, and end quality. Each spice is cupped to test for flavor profile, natural sweetness, and body." The time and energy Amy invests into carefully choosing superior ingredients is immediately noticeable when tasting through the Dona line, which also includes some amazingly balanced sodas. For us, it's great to see the effort when sourcing ingredients. We've found that consumers increasingly want to know the backstory on where their products are sourced from as well as the moral and ethical principles that follow.A big "Cheers" to Amy and her crew at Drink Dona's! We're hooked...Shop Dona's
We met up with Ryan Hiebendahl, vice president of sales at Sail Away Coffee. Also Joining us was coffee expert and "shaman", Mike Love from Coffee Labs. Both Ryan and mike gave us an education on the art of cold brewing which interestingly, has many similarities to craft beer brewing. The sail away slogan: ""live young"...Sail Away pairs it free-spirited approach to flavor with a well traveled palate."The crew at Sail Away focus on single-origin roasts, blends and signature cold brew coffee. This episode we stuck to cold brew which is trending. Yep, Dunkin' has joined the band wagon. We've had cold brew before; however, flavor profiles range from amazingly smooth and balanced to "what were you thinking!" Ryan tasted us through what we thought were some of the best cold brew's we've experienced. We tasted through five, nitrogen cold brews. The cans included sweetened, unsweetened, horchata, salt and caramel and pumpkin chai. We were very skeptical on the pumpkin chai; however, ryan collaborated with Amy Rothstein owner of Dona Drinks to create an amazingly tasty and balanced cold brew. "Balanced" being the key to great cold brews. Sail Away has also "sailed" into the craft cocktail movement utilizing their cold brews. We're eager to try!Big thanks to crew at Sail Away, we thoroughly enjoyed the cruise!Shop Sail Away
Prologue: We suggest you purchase a couple of bars of chocolate from Dandelion Chocolate while listening to this podcast. It will definetly enhance the experience! The single-origin chocolates we sampled were incredibly complex and different depending on country of origin and Terroir. It was very helpful having both a chocolate expert and coffee expert joining us to help guide.This was a fascinating experience for us! We met up with chocolate maker/educator, Christine Keating from Dandelion Chocolate at the New York City Coffee Festival. Also joining us was Mike Love from Coffee Labs our resident "coffee Shaman". Yes, coffee and chocolate have many similarities when it comes to processing and tasting. The experience began with the opening of a beautiful, raw cacao pod, which has an almost alien appearance. The flavor and textures we experienced from the raw beans completely different from the end product we know as chocolate. Notes of mango, squash, banana, citrus and slimy almond came through. We had no idea how fermentation and processing affects the final flavors found in chocolate. Willy Wonka never told us that at the factory tour. Christine then took us through the whole process of making chocolate as well as educating us on the differences between a chocolate maker and a chocolatier.Dandelion Chocolate: "At Dandelion, we believe great chocolate starts with the bean. Because we only use two ingredients to make our chocolate—cocoa beans and organic cane sugar—the flavor of the beans we buy is critical. While genetics and processing play integral roles in developing flavor, getting good flavor reliably has everything to do with building good relationships."Dandelion Chocolate: "We do our best to work directly with the producers who grow, ferment, and dry the cacao we buy. We travel to origin as frequently as possible to learn about our producers’ best practices, exchange feedback, and make sure that high standards of quality and sustainability are met. We pay a premium far above the world market price and work to strengthen our relationships year after year in order to maintain our collective commitment to sharing the best and most distinctive cacao."Not enough chocolate for you? Dandelion chocolate also provides a host of different experiences which include tours, classes, private events, talks and cocoa trips!Shop at Dandelion Chocolate
We met up with Dani and David at a local gastro pub, Country Fare to discuss their latest epic costume design for Magic Wheelchairs. Together they are working on a Halloween themed build that will be revealed at Comic Con For Kids."Magic Wheelchair is a nonprofit organization that builds epic costumes for kiddos in wheelchairs — at no cost to families. Their mission is to bring communities together to create unforgettable moments for children around the world by transforming their wheelchairs into magic.

We met up with Yvan at Deccico's markets in Armonk, NY. Yvan De Baets is a founder and brewer at the famed brewery, Brasserie De La Senne, in Brussels. He is also a social worker and beer historian. Belgium has a long rich history when it comes to brewing and is also trend setter to the entire brewing industry. Yvan is extremely passionate about the beers he and fellow brewer, Bernard Leboucq produce. Together they brew beers they love while remaining uninfluenced by trends and profit. As a result they brew beers that are wonderfully bitter, low in alcohol and superior when it comes to quality. Many consumers in the brewing industry consider Brasserie De La Senne to be "some of the best beer in the world"."The beers of Brasserie de la Senne are produced by two passionate brewers from Brussels: Yvan De Baets and Bernard Leboucq. They work in a small brewery honouring the traditional ways of brewing beer: unfiltered, unpasteurized, free of any additives and using only the finest raw materials of the highest quality. Their dedication to un-compromised quality is definitely one of the outstanding characteristics of the brewery. The beers, with their complex flavour and well-distinguished personalities, are true beers of character, made in Brussels.""Brussels is the place where we were born and where we live. We love this city. We are very proud to have doubled its number of breweries, as, when we opened, the only other active brewery in Brussels was Cantillon. We brew in the Brussels Region, on 565 Chaussée de Gand, in Molenbeek-Saint-Jean, since 22 December 2010. This date has also become the date of our anniversary brew, only brewed once a year – the Brussels Calling. We have designed our production facilities by carefully selecting the technologies in use. For some stages we have purposely opted for simpler technologies in order to preserve all the aromas of our beers. We take pride in being a local brewery; Brussels is our first market, followed by the rest of Belgium. We limit our exports, despite the success we have encountered abroad. We are, however, available in a dozen countries, with a leading presence in the United States, Italy and Japan."We hope at some point to follow up with Yvan at his brewery in Brussels for an "on the road" episode.
Finally...an episode that has given us the most complete education on sour beers. We met up with Alex Wallash at, Deccicos & Sons in Brewster, NY. Alex is a founder, brewer, innovator and surfer from The Rare Barrel, in Berkley California. The sours produced at The Rare Barrel are some of the finest and most innovative we've experienced. RARE BARREL: "We are an all-sour beer company. Sour beer is our favorite style of beer. The flavors produced by this unique fermentation and aging process cannot be replicated in any other food or beverage. Due to the involved process, sour beer is not often a commonly brewed style, making it difficult to find. We’d like to help change that.Aside from our personal preferences for the beer, there are also practical reasons for going all-sour. By focusing completely on sour beer, we can concentrate on learning as much as possible about the reasons why those unique flavors are produced in sours. With our entire focus on sours, we have crafted a cellar around the production of sour beer. Our space is dedicated to the conditioning of barrel-aged sour beers. With high ceilings, a moderate climate and plenty of space, we give our barrels an ideal home to create their unique flavors.It’s been said that constraint breeds creativity. By adopting a singular focus on crafting sour beer, we plan on thoroughly exploring flavors through both conventional and experimental methods to create exciting new beers.Periodically, we will organize an extensive search (tasting) of our barrel house to find our finest barrel of sour beer. A team of craft beer enthusiasts, sour-heads, homebrewers, brewers, BJCP judges, cicerones, and foodies will taste through our barrel house and select our finest barrels of sour beer. Once the “Search Party” has determined the top barrels of sour beer, the founders of The Rare Barrel will taste them, and name the finest of the final barrels as “The Rare Barrel.”
Thirty minutes before this podcast we had no idea we were going to record this. This episode is dedicated to the oldest barber in the world and WWII veteran, Anthony Mancinelli. We never met Anthony, however we thought it appropriate to honor Anthony by attending his funeral Mass, procession and grave-side service. This is where we met up with military bugler, Dani Masterson.Dani Masterson is a volunteer bugler working with Bugles across America and Spiritof45.org. She's been a horn player for over 30 years and for the past 20 years sounding TAPS for over 3500 details. When she shows up for a detail, she feels, " It"s the last nicest thing that can do for someone." These are the times when Dani feels her service is most pure. "I don't do this to receive a pat on the back or even a thank you. I do it to serve. I'm personally grateful because it has given me a place to serve those who have served. My mission is to educate people on the significance and history of TAPS, why it is important to have a live Bugler and to sound TAPS in all 50 states."Anthony was born March 2, 1911 in Montemilone, Italy. The son of John and Savino Madrisi Mancinelli. Anthony came to America in September of 1919, on the ship Caserta. He served in WWII and was honorably discharged in 1945. He took up barbering in 1924 and continued to work until July of this year. He was a life member and the oldest member of the New Windsor American Legion 1796. He was Grand Marshall of the New Windsor Memorial Day parade for 13 years. He was inducted into the Barbers Museum and Hall of Fame and is listed in The Guinness Book of World Records. He has been honored numerous times and received many awards/certificates from government officials, including Senator Larkin, Representative Thomas Kirwan, Congressman John Hall, Supervisor George Green, County Executives Edward Diana and Steven Neuhaus and many others. March 2nd was named Anthony Mancinelli Day in Orange County.A big thanks to the members of the New Windsor American Legion 1796, The Rolling Thunder Motorcycle Club, and the Newburgh/New Windsor police department.SIDE NOTE: Towards the end of the service we listened to a beautiful rendition of Ave Maria. We've heard this classic many times before, however this was the most beautiful we've ever experienced. The entire moment brought us to tears as we tried to figure out who was singing. Looking up behind the pews we could see a woman in military fatigues and then we realized who it most likely was, Master Sergeant, Mary Kay Messenger. Sergeant Messenger is the premier vocalist for the West Point Band and has extremely long list of accolades. This day she played humbly and then quietly exited with little notice. Thank you for your service.Rest well, Anthony...
Big thanks to Delta Sky Club for hosting this episode with Damrak Gin. We met up with Tanya from Damrak to discuss cocktails, gin history and trends. Delta Sky Club's complimentary cocktail of the month is a Spanish-Style gin and tonic made with Damrak. The gin recently won silver at Food and Beverage Magazine's PROOF% awards Damrak is light on the juniper with a lot of subtle flavors, predominantly citrus. These characteristics opens it to whole host of cocktails. There are 17 different ingredients that give Damrak Gin its DAM good taste. Some of them they disclose, but some are the Master Distiller’s secret. The main distillate consists of the best quality Curaçao oranges. The distillate of these peels highlights the citrusy character of Damrak Gin; like a triple-sec liqueur without sugars. Valencia oranges give Damrak Gin its sweet and distinctive aroma, while lemons provide the freshness. In every gin, there are juniper berries. Even though they deliberately added little less juniper berries, it is still clearly noticeable in taste and smell. Adding some herbs and spices like angelica root, cinnamon, lavender and star anise results in the unique flavor of Damrak Gin.Recipe: Damrak gin, good tonic (we love Fever Tree), two slices of cucumber, FRESH sprig of rosemary or thyme or even lavender. Toss in a few dried juniper berries and there you have it! This style of gin and tonic is great on a hot day paired with tapas or even on cold day paired with short rib sliders. Tanya loves to pair Damrak with oysters on the half shell or even served as a shooter.Delta Sky Club is an amazing experience and we are very much looking forward to returning to take advantage of ALL the great amenities they have to offer!
Another first for us! Truly honored to be guests & students at The Wolf Conservation Center in South Salem, NY. Not only home to the famous X-men mansion its also home to 50 North American wolves. Species at the center include Gray, Mexican Gray and Red wolves. We met up Maggie Howell who is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to Canis Lupus. Maggie, Executive Director, has worked at the Wolf Conservation Center since 2005, starting as the WCC's Managing Director and taking the helm as Executive Director in 2013. She continues to lead the WCC's education and advocacy initiatives and be the main voice of the WCC. The remaining staff is made up of dedicated professionals that include educators, scientists, veterinarians and volunteers. As we learned, the center has many moving parts; however, there are two main components, education and breeding. In regards to education, WCC has ambassador wolves, Zephyr, Alawa and Nikai who work directly with the public and will never be released into the wild. Don't worry, they live an amazing life in their enclosure which includes donations of filet mignon & octopus from Whole Foods. The breeding component is made up of the remaining 47 wolves and have limited contact with humans as to protect them for eventual release into the wild. Their diets are kept more wild and depend solely on donations which include road-kill and hunter drop-offs. The breeding component is absolutely fascinating and WCC along with US Fish & Wildlife have had many successful reintroductions. Surprise guest Rocio La Rosa also joined us to give insight into the spiritual side of wolves as well as their symbolism. We had an amazing experience and very much look forward to following the WCC progress and continued success in bringing back Canis Lupus and the 38 sub-species.The Wolf Conservation Center is a registered 501 (c)(3) nonprofit charitable organization and rely heavily on donations and volunteering.

We met up with Antonio Guarda Nardini from Grappa Nardini. Antonio's family has been making premium grappa in Italy since 1779. Although the family originated with distilling traditional grappa they also produce liqueurs, brandy, aperitifs and bitters. This episode we stayed within the grappa category. The name “grappa” originally comes from the Italian word “grappolo”, meaning grape. Grappa is distilled from grape skins, or pomace. The pomace is a byproduct of wine-making. Grappa is therefore a type of pomace brandy. This grappa is NOT "Italian moonshine". And contrary to many American palates, this grappa is complex in flavor, incredibly smooth and very versatile. Typically the spirit is bottled un-aged OR aged, Matt is particularly fond of their aged expressions. Grappa can be enjoyed neat or in a cocktail. Antonio was kind enough to give us a copy of his book "The Grappa Handbook". Not available on Amazon. The 132 page book was created to underscore grappa’s accessibility, as well as discussing the spirit’s history‚ distillation methods and offering food-matching ideas. The handbook features over 30 cocktail recipes‚ led with a foreword from the ‘King of Cocktails’ himself‚ New Yorker‚ Dale DeGroff. The cooking section‚ featuring 18 mouth-watering recipes. We can't thank Antonio enough for joining us and broadening our palates. We very much look forward to tasting through their diverse portfolio.
We met up with George Manska, the creator of the Neat Glass. George has revolutionized the the way the alcohol industry is experiencing spirits! Just about every major spirit competition in the world is taking on this glass to judge spirits to their fullest.George Manska: "In 2002, a simple glass blowing mistake created an amazing shape which displays the true expression of spirits, and launched a new, scientific approach to glass design, Naturally Engineered Aroma Technology (NEAT) the scientific foundation for the best spirits glass available. To properly savor spirits, one needs a spirits nosing glass which displays aromas and accents flavor.Studying human olfactory physiology and applying physical and chemistry science, we unlocked the hidden dimensions of distilled spirits with a spirits nosing glass that enhances drinking pleasure, enjoyment, and diagnostics. Nine years, fifty two design revisions, hundreds of tastings and aroma profile studies resulted in perfection - the NEAT spirits glass. The tulip glass is now “old school” obsolete and non-functional as more serious drinkers pick up the NEAT spirits glass to discover and understand true spirit character and quality.Taste the Truth: Taste and aroma are true measures of a spirit's quality. Alcohol burn numbs the nose and overwhelms the truth, spoiling your drinking experience. NEAT eliminates nose burn and numbing, enhancing ability to detect, savor, and enjoy the subtle, wonderful aromas the distiller intended. NEAT is the best spirits glass ever.Science Drives Design, Form Follows Function: NEAT spirits glass was tested against tulip whiskey glass, glencairn, and other spirits glasses under controlled, uniform conditions by University of Nevada at Las Vegas (UNLV) Chemistry Department to verify results. Other whiskey nosing glasses and spirits glasses can’t compare to NEAT aromas and flavor. Science built a better glass.How to Use: Pour to max bowl diameter (1 1/2 oz), swirl, hold level, and smell at center of the rim plane for characteristic aromas without alcohol. Breathe in slowly with mouth CLOSED, evaluate. NEAT spirits glass presents character aromas without alcohol. Position nose at rim to smell alcohol and other high-end distillates. Place nose deep inside glass for aroma profile same as with tall narrow glasses if you are in love with alcohol nose burn (not recommended). Adding water shuts down evaporation and results in much less aroma to savor. Tulip whiskey glasses fail to focus aromas and instead, concentrate nose-numbing ethanol, destroying your sense of smell."
We met the crew at Chinola during a visit to Bar Convent, Brooklyn. They are "passionate" about the entire operation. This includes carefully growing their own Passion fruit. This is the most authentic passion fruit liqueur we tasted. We love it chilled; however, a splash on top of a fresh Caipirinha and it doesn't get much better."Passion fruit is widely referred to as maracujá throughout Latin America, except in the Dominican Republic where this local treasure is termed Chinola. Our chinola are meticulously grown and varies in shade, each carefully selected from their farm."Bitters and Bottles: "Chinola can be sipped straight or over ice, and tastes wonderful when mixed. You can use it in a Highball with straight seltzer or sparkling wine, or add it to an Aperol Spritz. It also works wonderfully in tropical or tiki cocktails that call for a passion fruit syrup like a Hurricane. It’s drier, boozier, livelier and fresher tasting than any other passion fruit syrups or liqueurs on the market
We had a great time sitting with artist, dad & philanthropist Michael Godard! "Michael Godard is known as the explosive “Rockstar of the Art World” and global top selling artist!"His world of art invites us to see his lighthearted perspective, surrounding us with animated olives, grapes, and dancing strawberries. His unique portrayal of fun is an exciting combination of imagination and subtle humor, evoking the creative side in “Olive” us. He has redefined art as we know it and, of course, given it a punch line.""His paintings are thought provoking and full of enigmatic illusion. They show pain, love, conflict, and success, making people smile, laugh, reminisce, and exclaim, “Oh My God..ard!”"Godard’s work is highly collected by young and old from all walks of life including movie stars, rock stars and private collectors. “We both love to see people respond to our art and it’s probably why we’ve been given a gift to create and entertain. Get ready to go crazy over the artwork of Michael Godard” -Ozzy Osbourne. Godard’s imaginative world of art is seen by millions of people each month, worldwide through cruise lines, galleries, hotels, television, magazines and countless merchandising kiosks and stores. His paintings even adorn the walls of the Officer’s Lounge in the Pentagon.""Michael Godard has dedicated himself to philanthropic causes through his art. “The funds I help raise save lives and at the end of the day, it’s the most important thing I do,” declares Godard. In 2006, his 16 yr. old daughter passed away after her battle with brain cancer. “All the money in the world can not bring her back, but the funds I help raise for a cure will help save another child,” said Godard.""Godard works very closely with St Jude’s, Make a Wish, Nevada Cancer Institute and The Sharon Osbourne Colon Cancer Foundation “You’re not only buying something that is a work of art but that money is going to save somebody’s life” -Sharon Osbourne.""His continuing effort has driven him far beyond the canvas, bringing him closer to his goal of raising money to help win the war against cancer. Current projects are in the works making this achievement happen. Godard says, “The world is small – you can truly make an impact on everyone you meet.”
Chicago deep-dish pizza is expanding beyond its borders. We had a lot of fun with Evan from Giordano's Pizza! He met us in Vegas where the company has recently opened two restaurants and its apparent that he as well as the entire company are extremely passionate about their famous deep dish pizza. This style of pizza is a bit foreign to all of us as we are dedicated New York Pizza fans. The kinda of pizza that folds. After this episode we have come to the conclusion that we enjoy both styles of pizza and they can coexist harmoniously. Yep, we're craving it now...Their story: "It's creation began in a small northern Italian town near Torino, Italy. Mama Giordano was famous around town for her exquisite cooking. Of all her renowned dishes, her most beloved meal was her “Italian Easter Pie”. Mama Giordano would serve this double- crusted, cheese stuffed masterpiece on special occasions. This pizza pie became a sacred tradition in the Giordano family and a legend in the town of Torino. Years later, Italian immigrants Efren and Joseph Boglio moved to Chicago to start their own pizza business. The brothers introduced their Mama’s recipe for stuffed pizza. In 1974, on Chicago’s historic south side, Efren and Joseph opened the first Giordano’s in the world. Over the next 40 years and counting, millions of happy and loyal fans as well as hundreds of critics call Giordano’s the city’s “best” stuffed pizza! The rest is history you can still taste today, along with our other great starters, fresh salads, outstanding pastas and unique sandwiches.Giordano’s is constantly making headlines, both in Chicago and nationally. The brand garners frequent media coverage and continuously tops “Best Pizza” lists and dining guides. Giordano’s has been acclaimed “Chicago’s Best Pizza” by NBC, CBS Chicago, New York Times, Chicago Magazine, Chicago Tribune, Chicago Eater, Home & Garden Magazine, Concierge Preferred and more!

We had a great time with Mike and Dani from Coconut Cartel! Amazing founding story that created a Guatemalan rum proofed with coconut water."Coconut Cartel is the story of Mike and Dani Zig and all the places theyve called home. Born in Miami to Latin parents, the Zigs grew up between Miami, Guatemala and El Salvador; often spending weekdays in Central America and weekends in Miami. These two drastically different, yet culturally connected places, are the very inspiration behind Coconut Cartel.As soon as they settled back in Miami, they began their first venture: 'smuggling’ coconuts in their suitcases from islands off the coast of El Salvador directly to Miami Beach’s best hotels. Creating one of the first ‘Instagrammable’ beverages to hit the beaches opened up a lot of doors into the hospitality and spirits industries, allowing them to collaborate with brands such as Soho House, Standard Hotels, The Surf Lodge and into the hands of mega celebrities like Drake, Martha Stewart, HRH Prince Harry Sussex, Cristiano Ronaldo and many more.Coconut Cartel was born.Today Coconut Cartel is keeping the smuggler spirit alive with the launch of its coconut water infused, premium Guatemalan anejo rum, Coconut Cartel Special. Developed with Central America’s best coconut, coffee and rum producers, and delivered straight to the U.S. via the Port of Miami, Coconut Cartel Special brings the best of the region to the rest of the world in a bottle."
We met the crew at El Silencio Mezcal at Bar Convent, Brooklyn last year. This year we came back to taste and wow, what an experience! We'll leave the actual tasting experience to the episode. Mezcal can be misunderstood because many people who try them for the first time are often disappointed. Mezcal flavor profiles are on a wide spectrum. They can be incredibly bold, medicinal & smokey or they can be more soft, floral and balanced. The key is balance. El Silencio Mezcal is perfectly balanced for a broad range of Mezcal consumers.The mezcal Espadín is double distilled in Oaxaca, Mexico and is the "perfect companion for cocktails or simply to sip on its own. A robust, deep flavor profile recalls earthly delights and hearty tastes, providing a subtle smoke and pronounced finish unlike any mezcal or spirit you’ve encountered in your travels."COLOUR Clear with solid white accents. TASTE Roasted figs, sweet potatoes and charred stone fruit. AROMA Balanced smoke, ash and baking spices. FINISH Predominantly white pepper, bell pepper, and a myriad of baking spices."While similar to their super premium Joven Ensamble Mezcal, Espadin is perfect for being adventurous and mixing it up. Give the classic cocktail a twist, and elevate the experience by making El Silencio the center of the recipe. Make a bloody mary a Mezcal Mary; put some smoke in your margarita. Espadín is a pure agave mezcal for people that know what they want in life, whether sipped, shaken or stirred."After our neat experience we had two amazing cocktails:TEARS OF THE GODDESSMezcal El Silencio EspadínGifford Passion FruitRockeys Milk PunchTears of The Black Rabbit (proprietary to Silencio)ELIXIR OF LIFEMezcal El Silencio EspadínKleos MastihaHella Eucalyptus Bitters
Kyrö may be the first stop on our European tour! We love theses guys and their rye-based spirits. Kyrö produces gin, whiskey, bitters & a cream liquer. In America Rye is usually associated with aged whiskey. Bold flavors followed by a spicy somewhat medicinal finish. Finland's terroir plays an important role and the Rye grown, harvested and processed in Finland is full of flavor, very approachable and lacks the medicinal burn found in many American rye whiskeys. Don't misunderstand us we DO love American rye just not in this context. As a result, Kyrö's un-aged spirits are incredibly diverse when it comes to imbibing neat or crafting cocktails. KYRO YOUTUBE LINK"The obvious question on everybody’s lips was why hasn’t anybody made a Finnish rye whisky, especially given the fact that Finns consume six times more rye than the world average and rye bread is the official national dish! From there the idea grew and before long, our distillery found a perfect home in an old dairy in the Finnish village of Isokyrö. After some gentle renovations, stills were first heated up in 2014 and from there the distillery has gone to win several international prizes and we now sell our products in dozens of countries around the world. We are proud to be the world’s northern most gin and whisky distillery producing the finest single malt rye whisky and rye gin.""Napue gin was voted as “The World’s Best Gin for Gin & Tonic” by the International Wine & Spirit Competition (IWSC) in 2015 and in 2016 Napue won the gold medal in the San Francisco World Spirit Competition premium gin-series.""Enjoy your Napue Gin & Tonic with plenty of ice, a twig of rosemary, a few cranberries and your favourite tonic water." We love Fever Tree! BCB SPIRIT SERIES #1: In RYE we trust: Finnish craft distillery, Kyrö is the result of an idea conceived in a traditional sauna!
We're back recording at one of our favorite spots, Ibizia Kitchen in Chappaqua, NY. Joining us is special guest AND friend, Phoenix-Kelly Rappa. Phoenix is co-owner of Cuca Fresca cachaça who gave us a bit of an education on Brazils national spirit. Included in this lesson, our teacher crafted a perfect passion fruit Caipirinha topped with Chinola Passion Fruit Liqueur. We then proceeded to "nosh" on slow-cooked, beef cheek tapas, imbibe and chat...THE STORY Created by a fourth-generation cachaça-making family, Cuca Fresca is made using age-old methods passed down for almost a century. The entire process is done at our distillery located in the heart of Minas Gerais, the world’s most famous cachaça-producing region. “Cuca Fresca”, which literally translates to “cool head” and is a Brazilian expression meaning “to be cool” or “have a chill vibe.”THEY HAVE A "GREEN" THUMB Master distillers know that to make the world’s best cachaça, you must begin with superior quality cane. At the distillery, the soil and weather combine to create the ideal growing conditions for cane. All of the sugarcane is grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers, which have a serious long-term impact on the environment. Our fermentation and distillation process is also completely natural and Cuca Fresca Cachaça is USDA-certified organic.THEY USE ONLY THE BEST INGREDIENTS All of their sugarcane is closely monitored and harvested at its peak, using the traditional methods of cutting-by-hand, and never burnt during harvests. While this is a more time-consuming method of harvesting, it is essential to maintain the delicate balance and sweetness of the cane.ARTISANAL PROCESS After fermentation, each batch of Cuca Fresca is double-distilled in traditional copper alambique stills. These small-batch artisanal methods of distillation produce a spirit that is smoother and more refined than other cachaças, which are typically mass produced using a column distillation process.AGED TO PERFECTION After each batch of Cuca Fresca is double-distilled, it is put in barrels to age. This aging process makes the cachaça even smoother and adds complexity. Our Cuca Fresca Prata is aged for one year in oak, resulting in a premium silver cachaça that has been called the “ideal slate for cocktail creativity.” Our Cuca Fresca Ouro is aged for four years in Jequitiba, a native Brazilian wood, resulting in a gold cachaça that is perfect for sipping neat or on the rocks, as well as in ultra-premium cocktails.The Perfect Passion Fruit Caipirinha1/2 Lime2 tsp Sugar.5 oz Fresh Lime .5 Simple Syrup2 oz Cuca Fresca Cachaca.75 oz Chinola Passion Fruit LiqueurInstructionsCut lime in half lengthwise. Carefully cut out white-pith centerline and transfer to a cocktail shaker. Add sugar and muddle hard to release the lime's juice and essential oils. Add Cuca Fresca cachaça and 4–5 ice cubes. Cover cocktail shaker and shake vigorously for 10 seconds. Pour into a glass (preferably a tumbler or an old-fashioned or rocks glass), garnish with fresh basil and chili pepper, top with Chinola and serve. Imbibe.

John Maier is the wizard behind the brew at Rogue Brewery in Newport, OR and has been the head brewer since nearly the beginning in 1988. Still a homebrewer at heart, he has been a brewing innovator and somewhat of a godfather to the Northwest brewing community, and therefore the country, and even the world. Some of the topics we discussed are his impressive plans for his eventual retirement, his surprising source of inspiration and how it felt to have brewed more than 20,000 beers. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/jeremy-storton/message
