Still Talking

The fellas make their yearly predictions on the trends and products of the spirit industry.  Colton curates and creatively organizes a list from more reputable sources to discuss, Brian develops his understanding of basic combustion, and Zeno shares his glass recycling rituals.

Hey listener.  Do you remember 2019?  The guys are finally back and are discussing the past year in the spirits industry.  They share personal anecdotes, figure out if it was in fact the year of rum, and continue to establish their sense of subtlety and tastefulness.

The fellas also tease the next episode full of 2020 predictions, discuss how Colton helps Brian with his online shopping and how proctology is practiced in Louisiana.

This episode Brian and Zeno have a chat with Matt Strickland the head of production of Distillerie Côte des Saints in Mirabel, Quebec.  They discuss the state Canada’s spirit industry, what Matt is working on, apple beverages,  and Zeno’s effects on lab rats.

Colton was off fighting for the FET reduction like a somewhat responsible adult.   Zut!

Hey Listener.  We hope you like Brian because this episode is mostly about him and his actual job running Artisan Spirit Magazine.  Unfortunately Jeff Wuslich of Cardinal Spirits couldn't make the interview as intended so the guys were left to their own devices.  Hopefully they will connect with Jeff soon.  In the meantime...

The fellas discuss how Brian (but mostly Ashley and Amanda) started the magazine, how they choose content, and the overall voice of the publication.  Fear not though.  Colton and Zeno are there to chime in on the truth about Epstein, the difference between a few and a couple, koala infestations, and the bowtie as a fashion choice

The three Amingos return to discuss specifics about the spirit market segments and how they are growing.  There is also some conversations about white claw, the ACSA judging that Colton and Zeno just attended, Zeno's moving woes, and the correct pronunciation of triticale.  At least how Brian approaches the word under his scientific lens.

Enjoy this Thursday Holiday/Day off.

This episode Colton and Brian bring on Reade Huddleston the current head of production for Headframe Spirits in Butte,USA.  Zeno is out probably singing somewhere or is simply spitefully skipping out.

Colton, Brian, and Reade discuss Reade's fondness for the more eclectic fermented and distilled beverages of the world.  They also cover the bulk toe market, bears and their effect on the internet, and thoughts on Distillery Industry analytical standards or lack thereof

The fellas are back.  Well, kind of... Brian and Zeno sit down with the Likarish Brothers of Ironroot Republic and chat about Texas whiskey, brandy, and the history of their family run business.

The brothers elaborate on their French approach to making spirits and how the historical connection between Denison Texas and Cognac have guided them in that direction.  The topic evolves into their potential museum with life-like wax models and other goals for the next half of a decade.

Brian still lives in a place/reality we are not certain truly exist, Zeno grunts and makes low-brow jokes to avoid reality, and Colton was off traveling somewhere to escape reality.

Another news centric episode for listener and/or Rob.  The fellas discuss tantalizing spirit industry news content and highly topical info on everyone's favorite hard seltzer.

Zeno sings, Colton laughs like Krusty the clown, and Brian holds it all down with life in Spokane.  It's pretty much the usual for the Still Talking Podcast.
