Have you ever thought about starting your own liquor brand? Opening your own distillery? My guest on this episode is award-winning bartender Tim Laferla, and he has done just that. It’s called Damaged Goods Distilling Co., and in this interview we talk about his start in Perth bars like Mechanics Institute, how his time working in London for Michelin chefs and in zero waste venues shaped his thinking, and how he and his partner Pia Papenfuss have gone about setting up the distillery, and why they’re using food waste to make their spirits. He’s a super smart guy, and there’s a lot to learn from his experience.
