Episode 57 – Grand Illusion Hard Cider – Chad Kimmel

This episode features Chad Kimmel of Grand illusion Hard Cider.The name Grand Illusion Hard Cider was inspired by magic. Slight of hand if you will. The inspiration for this cider comes from the tasting rooms that you find at breweries. Originally conceived to be a tasting room for wine, Chad made a serendipitous pivot into cider and opened his own vision for what a craft American cidery should be. He draws his inspiration from his own experiences and and the ciders that he has tried. Putting his own spin on the flavor profile. Grand Illusion opened its doors on February 2018 and has quickly become an anchor attraction in downtown Carlisle, PA. 26 W High St, Carlisle, PA 17013 – (717) 462-4716 – www.grandillusioncider.com – Facebook

Episode 43 – Hook & Flask Still Works – Mark Farrell and Devin Flickinger

This episode features Mark Farrell and Devin Flickinger of Hook and Flask Still Works. 2 friends with a 15 year relationship decided to open a distillery. Devin was home brewing beer and making wine before entering into the world of distilling. They took off doing market research by visiting other distilleries, asking a lot of questions, taking classes and shadowing other distillers. The result is a fire themed establishment that pays homage and honors their roots. They are refining their craft one bottle at a time. Creating a delicious mix of cocktails, food and fun. We discuss their growth during cover and the development of their brown spirits program.137 N Hanover St, Carlisle, PA 17013 – (717) 601-2770 – www.hookandflaskstillworks.com – Facebook
