Alex Clark of Fort Hamilton Distillery
Q: How did the Fort Hamilton story start and evolve?
The idea began as a passion project during a shift from bartending to distilling, leveraging connections from Sasha Petraske's era and a plan to source distilling capacity while keeping the project agile, eventually formalizing into a named brand with the Fort Hamilton identity.
Alex Clark of Fort Hamilton Distillery
Q: Why was he so focused on American whiskey, specifically rye?

Alice Jun of Hana Makgeolli
Q: What's missing in how makgeolli is represented in the US, and how does Hana Makgeolli address it?
She highlights the need for authentic terminology and education around nuruk, koji, and the range of makgeolli styles, which Hana Makgeolli seeks to accurately present.
Alice Jun of Hana Makgeolli
Q: Why did you decide to build Hana Makgeolli in Brooklyn, and what were the early challenges?

Q: What is your first memory of drinking or encountering makgeolli?
