    The content appears to be of great value, but whilst running a canning line, I’m unable to clearly hear the conversation.

    Love catching up weekly on everything related to craft beer in Maryland. Chris also visits with local distillers to get the low down on what's going on in the spirits world as well. Recently, he chats with some of the politicians who are attempting to restore free enterprise in our state. I really enjoy the show.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 387 - Martinis and Mixology
Q: How do you decide between shaking and stirring a martini, and what impact does that have on the final drink?
Shaking is used when you want more dilution and a punchier, aerated texture, while stirring preserves clarity and creates a silky, smooth mouthfeel; the choice depends on ingredients and the desired presentation, with tradition often favoring stirring for a classic martini.
Episode 387 - Martinis and Mixology
Q: Okay, let's start with the base of what a martini is and how its definition has changed over time.
Historically, martinis evolved from a sweeter, vermouth-forward drink with evolving gin styles to a much drier form by the 1950s and 60s, and today the drink can range from bone-dry to a balanced, more aromatic profile depending on the gin or vodka and vermouth ratios.
Episode 388 - Frey's
Q: What's the best way to keep up with what's going on there?
They rely on social media and an up-to-date website, with plans to move off Wix to a more reliable platform, and they actively post about events and offerings.
Episode 388 - Frey's
Q: What days are you open for the public, and can private events be scheduled on other days?
Currently open Friday through Sunday for the public, with private events possible on other days by arrangement, including Saturdays when large groups like car clubs come through.
