Wow, the last fourteen years just flew by didn’t they? Greg, Sother and Damon sit down together at Fort Hamilton Distillery in Brooklyn’s Industry City during BCB 2025 to talk about the state of the union when it comes to microdistilling, how NYC bartending has changed over the years and the history of Rye Whiskey in America. They’re joined by Alex Clark, the Co-Founder and CEO of Fort Hamilton who delves into his origin story as a bartender for Sasha Petraske at Milk & Honey and his past life as a DJ.
Plus, it turns out getting cocktails dropped off in front of you while you’re podcasting is pretty nice. Maybe we’ll do our next 600 episodes like that…
