Presenting Agave Road Trip #2: What is Agave?

16 minutes

This week we're presenting another episode of Agave Road Trip. In episode 2 our friends Lou Bank and Chava Periban give a nutshell explanation of how agave turns from sugar to alcohol and are joined on the occasion by maestro mezcalero Amando Alvarado Alvarez. They also talk about how growing agave helped a middle school in rural Oaxaca reduce violence in their community.

We'll be presenting an episode of their first season every Sunday this summer, but if you want to listen to them all right now, subscribe to the Agave Road Trip feed (Apple Podcasts | Stitcher | Spotify | RSS). Plus, find extra photos and related links at agaveroadtrip.com
