"One of the great fallacies of working and life I find is this work-life balance because there is no such thing as work-life balance because my work is life and life is my work." - Phoebe EsmonWe met Phoebe at a bar. After all, isn’t that where some of the best friendships start? She was bartending at Gan Shan Station when Tony walked in and asked about the vermouth selection — using a little trick he learned from a friend when deciding whether or not you should order a Negroni. Phoebe’s response was simply “I’ll make you a great Negroni.” And that she did.It becomes immediately clear that Phoebe Esmon and her partner, Christian Gaal, know their spirits. While they define themselves as “cocktail bartenders,” we see them as much more than that: they are artists, historians, and teachers. They are two fountains of knowledge overflowing with fun factoids like when dry vermouth was born and why the VSOP label on Cognac isn’t actually French. Though their business, Spirit Animal Bev, Phoebe and Christian work with local businesses to help them craft beverage menus and recipes to fit their brand or event — much like you’d hire a chef to oversee the menu development for a restaurant. They have worked with many local Asheville businesses around town including Katie Button’s Nightbell (now closed) and Cúrate; Gan Shan Station; and Eda Rhyne. They have taught classes on amari, trained numerous bartenders and restaurant staff, and worked closely with distilleries in developing new recipes. They'll even bartend your wedding via their event business, called Party Animal.Phoebe is also the Co-Dean of Bartending and Hospitality for Portland Cocktail Week, where she is developing a bartending curriculum with Sother Teague (Teague is the beverage director of Amor y Amargo, a famous bitter bar in NYC, author of I’m Just Here for the Drinks, and host of The Speakeasy podcast).Their latest projects include a running a soon-to-open natural wine speakeasy called Pink Moon that will open up behind The Double Crown later on this year.Phoebe will also be helping Melissa Gray develop cocktails for her new cake and cocktail bar, RosaBees, which we talked about in Episode 11 during our interview with Melissa.Here’s what you’ll learn: - Why Phoebe and Christian decided to move to Asheville - What special projects they’re working on now (spoiler: we told you a little about the speakeasy but that's not all) - Christian’s advice for what to do when you see a black bear - Weird liquor laws in North Carolina - The two main types of ratios in cocktails - Why ice is so important when making cocktails and the three steps to making better ice at home - What you need to stock your own cocktail bar at home - How to buy better tasting, purer, and more sustainable tequilaWe hope you enjoy this episode!Curious to learn more about what we do?

Meet Jenn Mundia, singer-songwriter behind this very podcast’s intro music!  Jenn just finished Phoebe Robinson’s “You Can’t Touch My Hair: And Other Things I Still Have to Explain,” and we just HAD to talk about it. In this episode, we dig into Phoebe’s love for black girls, the EPIC moment in black women/ Shondaland TV history (“WHY IS YOUR PENIS ON A DEAD GIRL’S PHONE?!?”), the subversive power of Phoebe’s unique style of humor and relatability, and why you should never EVER engage with “Devil’s Advocate” guy on Facebook or IRL. Find Jenn’s glorious music here, and here!   SHOW NOTES 2: 49—If Jenn’s voice sounds familiar, it’s because she’s literally the first voice you hear when you open this podcast! 3:58 – Jenn found Phoebe’s writing style very conversational, and thoroughly 2017 4:10 – My thoughts on the conversational, informal style of “You Can’t Touch My Hair,” and how her writing grounds the book without dating it. 6:20 – Phoebe is using her writing style to set the stage for what she wants to discuss about being an actor, comedian and all-around black woman in Hollywood and beyond. 6:48 – Phoebe makes a point that black hair is so integral to OUR culture, and how black hair is a THING, and how the way our hair is styled can affect how people treat us, and how we think of ourselves.     8:15– How Jenn resonates with Phoebe’s commentary on black hair, as a singer-songwriter-performer. 11:30– What Phoebe says is the single greatest moment in black woman TV history: “WHY IS YOUR PENIS ON A DEAD GIRL’S PHONE?!” 12:10– How removing Annaliese Keating’s wig removal on “How to Get Away with Murder” was “revealing” for Viola Davis as an actress, and gave us the greatest moment in Shondaland history. 13:30 – Is Jenn the “black friend” for anyone? 14:00 – Why Phoebe says not to become friends with any new white people in summer. 14:30 – My favorite way to not become the “black friend” is to NOT to keep talking to the “Devil’s Advocate Guy.” 14:45 – You know the “Devil’s Advocate Guy.” His posts on Facebook usually start with, “I never start with my opinions on Facebook…”   15:00 – Brionna’s “Devil’s Advocate Guy” story, and how she disengaged from his shenanigans (TRIGGER WARNING: We discuss the N-word from 13:45-17:30i) 17:45 – Jenn’s OPP recommendations: “The Black Guy Who Tips” because it’s “super informative and ratchet”; “Another Round” because it’s great to see black girls thriving; “Storycorps” for the amazing interviews of families and friends interviewing each other. 18:45 – My book rec for Jenn is Issa Rae’s “The Misadventures of Awkward Black Girl.” 17:55 – Find Jenn Mundia at jennmundia.com and on Facebook, Instagram, iTunes.
