Interview Today’s guest is a former Army Bomb Tech who spent 22 years in the military, but found his true calling when he started learning about the science of alcohol. A pressure cooker IED and a little root beer cemented his obsession with moonshine and the rest is history. With his wife by his side he continues to give back to the veteran community through suicide awareness and support; it is my pleasure to welcome Mike Girard, from 300 Days Distillery, to the show.
