Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Alex Clark
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
Q: Why was he so focused on American whiskey, specifically rye?
Alex explains that a moment of inspiration came from a Willett tasting in Kentucky, where an old American rye bottle sparked a deep appreciation for pre-Prohibition styles, leading him to recreate that historic profile with New York grain.
Alice Jun
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
Q: Why did you decide to build Hana Makgeolli in Brooklyn, and what were the early challenges?
Alice describes bootstrapping and off-the-books tastings that evolved into a commercial venture, emphasizing the need to prove the category's viability and educate the market.
Alice Jun
Q: What is your first memory of drinking or encountering makgeolli?
Alice recalls homebrewing with her father, evolving from dry, oxidative styles to the more complex makgeolli they later commercialized, illustrating how personal history informs product directions.
