Deep Dive Into the Hive

Claire Marin started out the way all distillers do - by keeping bees. The founder of Pollinator Spirits sits down with the band to talk about her first forays upstate, the move from making honey to making rye whiskey, and what she looks for when making her own not-Campari Campari. She also discusses the role her company’s namesake - those busy bees - play in her work and in our world. Plus, Greg was warned he couldn’t talk about politics, so everyone gets baseball instead. Greg breaks down a controversial piece of fan interference from the World Series for the less-sports inclined.
