La Crosse Distillery-Field Notes

Whose corn-based vodka is just that, 100% Midwestern organic yellow dent corn. Besides the yeast and enzymes they use to break down the sugars in the corn, there’s nothing else used to make this spirit. It is double-distilled and filtered for an easy finish.

The Other Mary Bloody Mary Mix Review

Company Story: “As a testament to its healing powers, the Bloody Mary has long served as a drink that would forgive many a trespass of occasional overindulgence. The precious nutrients in tomatoes coupled with bold Sea Island spices have restored many- a -soul to health and mindfulness, and have also been used for raising a toast at times of celebration. The Other Mary adds a touch of wasabi to the union of flavor and spirits. One taste and you’ll shout, “Hallelujah! It’s about time a Bloody Mary tasted so miraculously good!”

From the website

Onto the ingredients: 

POUR THE MIX

Thickness:   Semi-thick until vodka added. Almost like a puree

Where’s The Chaser?? 

Driftless Brewing Co. of Soldiers Grove WI – Driftless Brewing Company is a local southwest WI brewery and destination taproom.  We focus on supporting local/regional farms, co-ops and businesses with our ingredient purchases and use 80-90% local ingredients in our fine ales and lagers.   

Which Beer Today? Saisaon

Where’s the Vodka??

Effect of Adding Vodka: Brings out the spice- wasabi and horseradish in particular.

OUR HISTORY

Nestled on the banks of the Mississippi River in western Wisconsin, La Crosse is at the heart of the Driftless Region. During the last Ice Age, when the surrounding land was scraped flat by glaciers, this area remained untouched, creating a unique bioregion. La Crosse Distilling Co. was created to capture the heart and history of this region while producing handcrafted field-to-glass spirits.La Crosse Distilling Website

Holy Smokes! What a blast! Once again I had the opportunity to be a judge at the Bloody Mary Festival in Milwaukee Wisconsin. I and a handful of other judges Where “forced,” to sample and rate from local restaurants and bars, as well as some bottled mixes.

This year was exceptional. Aside from one that was awful, the bloodies were all above average. I love my job!

I decided to bring my mobile recording kit and was able to sit down with Evan Weiss, the organizer of the event, and a few of the other judges for some live chatting.
