BPC - Episode 221 - Great Lakes Distillery Part 1: The Standards

The Pigs saddle up, brave the pandemic, and head north to Milwaukee Wisconsin. This episode is the first stop on the tour and takes us to a craft distillery nestled on the corner of 6th and West Virginia in Milwaukee. We head down to the production room in the distillery where we meet up with Ross Salchow, a man of many talents and a wealth of knowledge about booze, prohibition, and Wisconsin history. This show is all about the amazing liquors that Great Lakes Distillery produces but also takes us back to our roots as we discuss prohibition and alcohol history. We even get educated on some fun Wisconsin history during our visit. Did you know that Wisconsin has an infamous Pirate? What about a famous Madame? This started as a stop to do an hour show and turned into an epic 3 hour adventure and a 2 part show.  Once you listen you will get hooked and the cliff hanger will have you waiting for Part 2.   Shout Outs: Mobcraft; Kopacetic; Leininkugels; Anderson's Maple Syrup; CompassBox   After the show, start filling your own Tavour crate.  Cheers!   Be sure to check us out Sundays on Indy In-Tune.   Members of the Hopped Up Network.
