Episode 16 Bitters on Bitters

It’s the not-so-sweet 16th episode of the Idaho Booze Podcast! In this week’s episode, Warn Cocktail Company co-owners Adrienne and Danny Warn pop in to teach me all about bitters and the amazing products they are making in Idaho. Adrienne gets behind the bar to show off her mixology skills and makes a couple of tasty cocktails with Warn’s syrups and bitters (recipes below). Then I offer a full recap of the Hoptober Freshtival (easy for you to say) with reviews of the beers and ciders that I tried. Finally, in Brew News, it was an up and down week for the Idaho adult beverage scene as our Abbey closes but there’s a Ruckus in the Treasure Valley.
