Florida Beer Podcast - Episode 146: Ray Hooker from Indian River Distillery

There is nothing like a good Florida Rum... A quick stone's throw from Walking Tree Brewing (literally, if you play MLB) in Vero Beach is Indian River Distillery, Florida's newest distillery! Opened by Ray and Mandy Hooker earlier this year, Indian River Distillery has opened with an initial spread of rum, corn whiskey, vodka, and a lot more currently aging away for us to enjoy in the future. As craft distilling is really taking off in the state, we spoke to co-owner Ray Hooker about opening a distillery--especially in a community that had not had a distillery before, creating recipes, and a little history lesson about the Notorious Ashley Gang.
