Ep. 33: Happy ASMW Ratification Day! 12/18/2024

IT'S ASMW RATIFICATION DAY! We're beside ourselves and have been poring over the press releases, the new product announcements, comments from distilleries and distillers. We're here to break it all down, at least as much as we've been able to absorb so far.

Join us tonight at 7pm PST for a Livestream where we cover it from the basics and break it all down from the simplest factors to the deepest technical nuances. That's what we do best here.

We'll be back with our regularly scheduled producer interviews shortly, but this is an opportunity to give the outsider's take on how all this has shaken out. We can't speak with authority from the inside of the commission but we also offer an unbiased position as fans but not producers of the category.

See you there!
