Today we’re talking tequila with Troy Rarick, the founder of Over the Edge bike shops and the person who first got me into tequila, and my CRAFTED co-host, Eli Brown. We discuss a fun history of tequila; the different variations of it; and why tequila might be the quintessential craft spirit. Troy reminisces about filming a Tequila Talk Show; we share our current favorite tequilas; plus some advice on how to choose a good bottle; and more.
