In today's show Justin, Lydia and Maura discuss a $1500 mint Julep in Kentucky, Sony suing a brewery over a Breaking Bad themed beer, and a town in New Zealand considering adding a public wine fountain. Then, we discuss a comment made by Bobby Hiddleston, owner of Swift, the best Bar in GQ's food and drink awards that "the last thing a person goes into a bar for is a drink". Justin agrees that the bar itself and the aesthetics are just as important and describes how Heritage Distilling Company applied that thinking in their new Ballard Location. Then, we talk with Beck Hallmann and Bode Craig of Percy's and Co., also in Ballard about their approach to the design and menu of their apothecary themed bar. Plus, we leave you with a cocktail recipe that's sweet with a little heat!
