  • Still A Good Listen

    As a sober non-coffee drinking individual this podcast is not 100% targeted to me. However, there is still lots to glean from the great conversations, just like all the podcasts on the Blister network. Loved the conversation with Arvin about books and bookshops.

    Just got to love the enthusiasm and expertise on tap in Blisters Crafted podcast. Interested in skill and making stuff? This one’s for you. Jonathan Ellsworth is pretty much my favourite podcast guy.

    And don’t miss Blistergear’s other offerings like Bikes & Big Ideas. Some gold there too.

  • Amateur Hour - Tequila

    I just listened to the episode on Tequila. Very interesting. Troy mentioned Clase Azul as a good $100 bottle of tequila. I was at a party where we sipped a Clase Azul Reposado, and I loved it. Fancy beautiful bottle and here in Oregon, the state liquor store price is around $180. A few years later, I learned that many tequilas have additives to enhance flavor, often to make it taste sweeter and enhance the flavor profile - this includes Clase Azul. What is the point of paying $100+ for a tequil... more

    Love this! I normally don’t listen to content involving this topic but I found it to be informative and entertaining. Eli does a great job breaking it down for folks who aren’t familiar with the industry- exactly what I look for out of a podcast!

  • A+ for hospitality angle

    Enjoying the new approach this podcast is taking in exploring beverage and hospitality- while “craft” can be present in so many industries, food and beverage is how most folks experience true craft regularly. The conversations are carried by a true professional’s nuance and a foundational curiosity that is relatable and aspirational- overall worth the listen every time.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Becoming a Master Bladesmith w/ Zack Jonas
Q: What are the main differences between Damascus and high-carbon steel in terms of performance and maintenance?
Damascus today is largely an aesthetic enhancement with a big emphasis on pattern, but true strength comes from the same metallurgical fundamentals as high-carbon steel; maintenance differs because high-carbon steel patinas and rust more, while Damascus patterns are revealed through etching and can still display performance differences depending on the underlying steels.
Becoming a Master Bladesmith w/ Zack Jonas
Q: So why did you choose philosophy as a path, and how did that lead you into knife making?
I always loved thinking and arguing about ideas, and knife making offered a way to apply philosophy to a tangible craft; the process of learning metallurgy and the mentor relationship showed me that knowledge and curiosity could translate into real skill and a career.
Slow Beer: Templin Family Brewing owner, Kevin Templin
Q: Why the emphasis on glassware and presentation in your taproom?
Glassware and presentation are crucial for delivering the full aroma and texture; nucleated glasses and careful service keep the beer's aroma and bubbles intact, enhancing the drinking experience in the tasting room and beyond.
Slow Beer: Templin Family Brewing owner, Kevin Templin
Q: What motivates your focus on German brewing tradition and slow fermentation?
The goal is to craft delicate, sessionable beers with complex, nuanced flavors that only emerge with extended maturation, which also aligns with our European lager heritage and the desire for low- and mid-ABV options that still carry depth.
Slow Beer: Templin Family Brewing owner, Kevin Templin
Q: How did the 5% ABV draft limit shape your beer program in Utah?
The limit pushed us toward European-style lagers and careful recipe design, but over time we expanded into higher-ABV formats in cans or other formats where allowed, while still prioritizing authentic lager techniques for our core offerings.
