Craftsmanship is NOT a thing of the past.
Yes you have to look harder
to find it. Yes it may cost a little more when you do, but for those of you who find a craftsman, you celebrate the hell out of those people.
It's the likes of Bryan from Breckenridge Distillery in Colorado. Bob Kramer from Kramer knives that are the glue holding together the country. It sure as shit ain't the politicians.
In this episode I talk about visiting St. George's Spirits in Alameda, CA. If you don't know that name than you probably recognize Hanger One vodka. Those folks make that, and a whole lot more. Quite honestly, I like the Breaking & Entering Bourbon and the Gin modeled after Mt. Tam, CA even more. You should check them out when you are in the area. And if you're going, give me a call. I will knock back a few with you after the tour. It's great fun.
Craftsmanship can take all forms. Hell, my new barber in Temescal (and his crew) are pretty much geniuses with the sheers. These are the people we need to rock with. I found what I would consider a crafstman at The Ramen Shop in Rockridge, CA. Bang up job they do there. It inspired me to try and make my own ramen broth. We'll share about that next week, but in order to make it, you'll need this amazing chicken stock as a starting point.
The small farmer, who isn't into big agriculture, not because big ag sucks, but because they know they can deliver a product like no one else can. They have control over the 50 pigs they raise. They are clean, they are taken care of, and they are pretty freakin' special.
