  • 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.

High West’s Master Distiller, Isaac Winter, on the Most Misunderstood Word in Whiskey
Q: What is the role of blending in the Scotch whiskey tradition as it applies to High West?
Blending is a central, deliberate process that uses a mix of distillates (column and pot stills) from different origins to create a final product with desired esters, mouthfeel, and wood integration, rather than simply combining cheap base whiskies with flashy finishes.
Hot Sauce, Human History, & Some Big Existential Questions
Q: What counts as hot sauce versus other chili-based condiments like salsa?
The hosts grapple with a strict vs. loose definition, concluding there isn't a single perfect boundary; hot sauce generally refers to a chili-based, pourable product with acid and salt, but there are blurred edges with items like salsa, chili paste, and chili crisp that can blur the line.
Who Decides What We Drink?
Q: What originally turned you on to Montana as a market that early?
Ronnie explains it was a serendipitous connection via Trey Bush and Intermountain, leading to early distribution in Montana and long-standing relationships that shaped the business.
The Case Against Imitation: Brianne Day, Founder of Day Wines
Q: What do you think people are looking for when buying wine in a restaurant setting?
People vary by customer; some want wines that reinforce their ideas of what they know, while others want something new. Day Wines aims to provide both — approachable, versatile options for novices and more expressive, serious wines for explorers.
Cocktails in the Desert? Scott Gardner of Water Witch
Q: What was the concept for Water Witch, and how has it evolved?
The initial concept aimed to be a neighborhood, no-menu bar with a rock-and-roll, unpretentious vibe; over time it developed into a high-energy, community-focused space with a strong in-house cocktail program and a lighter, more playful identity compared to nearby elevated venues.
