Ep 46 - Pat Hoffmann, Owner of Lonely Oak Distillery

Conversation 46:  The Story, Journey and Passion of Pat Hoffmann, Owner of Lonely Oak Distillery “Sometimes, you just try too hard. Sometimes, you have to let it find you. That’s what I am finding. You can search and search and search and then don’t second guess yourself. You just have to recognize, you know, what I’ve got and this is it.” -Pat Hoffmann My conversation today is with Pat Hoffmann, the owner of Lonely Oak Distillery I come from middle America, small town Iowa. And my small town, I mean small, around 200 people is surrounded by a number of similar small towns. There are many great people that come out of this tiny pocket of Iowa and I get very excited when people from there are doing great things. Pat Hoffmann, a fellow small town resident has started his own distillery, making craft spirits from the land he farms. My cocktail of choice almost always involves vodka and I was very intrigued by a delicious vodka coming from his business only a few miles away from my parents house. Pat, his wife Amy and his five children are all in this together with Pat’s passion for making products he believes in and cares for from seed-to-spirit (which is what I love the most!)   Please pour yourself a proper drink and enjoy my conversation with Pat.      Connect with Lonely Oak Distillery: www.lonelyoakdistillery.com | [email protected] Don’t forget to follow them on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter for their latest adventures!      www.anneelizabethrd.com Copyright © 2017 OPI & AEHC Song: One Of These Days Artist: The Gemini www.thegeminimusic.com Music used by permission.
