Episode 200 – Asbury Park Distilling Co. – Kelly Bodnar

This episode feature ⁠Kelly Bodnar⁠ of ⁠Asbury Park Distilling Co.⁠

The founders felt the vibe and recognized the huge art and music scene that was leading the renaissance of Asbury Park. Foot traffic was picking up and it made sense to launch a distillery on Memorial Day 2017. ⁠Bill Tambussi ⁠was the first master distiller that set everything up and got the spirits launched. They began with vodka and gin and an amazing cocktail program. They were laying down barrels to create bourbon from the start. Kelly began her journey at the distillery wanting to soak up and learn everything that she could about how it all worked. Bill brought her on and over time she was ready to take the reins and put her own spin and personality on what was being distilled and bottled. Her passion and love of this craft distillery shines through. Kelly and this awesome team are “putting spirits into their spirits”.

Episode 83 – Kim and Tom Bard – The Bard Distillery

This episode features Kim Bard and Tom Bard of The Bard Distillery.

It all started in 2005 when tom walked into Kim’s race shop. In 2006 they found themselves in Kentucky and decided to go to visit a distillery. The chose to check out Maker’s Mark. They loved the tour and afterwards they were fueled by what they saw. They couldn’t stop talking about it, The smells, the sights, the sounds and the people. They were not able to shake the idea. In 2015 they took the plunge and purchased Tom’s old school, creating The Bard Distillery, which opened in 2019. We had a fantastic experience at the distillery. We got to see the vision of what it all will become. Their spirits are wonderful and creative.
