À propos de cet audio
In this special on-location episode of Brews & Banter, we sit down with Derek Grout, founder of Harvest Spirits Distillery, recorded right at the heart of Golden Harvest Farms in Valatie, NY.
Golden Harvest Farms, a third-generation orchard established in 1957, is home to some of the Hudson Valley’s finest apples—and it’s here that Derek pioneered New York’s very first licensed farm distillery. From surplus apples to award-winning vodka, applejack, brandy, gin, and whiskey, Derek takes us through the tree-to-bottle journey that put Harvest Spirits on the map.
We dig into the history of the farm, the challenges and creativity behind building a craft distillery, and the deep connection between land, legacy, and local flavor. And of course, it wouldn’t be Brews & Banter without a few tastings—join us as we sample Harvest Spirits’ signature lineup while soaking up the atmosphere of the farm and distillery.
Whether you’re a spirits enthusiast, a fan of Hudson Valley history, or just love a good behind-the-scenes story, this episode is equal parts informative, fun, and flavorful.
