The Atlantic:
Brad Estabrooke is "an ordinary guy with an extraordinary love of distinctive wines and spirits." Frustrated with his day job, he decided to start his own company after reading about newly relaxed regulations for small distilleries. In the summer of 2011, he launched Breuckelen Distilling Company, the first gin distillery in Brookyn since the prohibition. The gin is made with organic grain from the New York area, and flavored with juniper berries, rosemary, lemon, ginger and grapefruit.It is a well-made video. I like the fact that people have moved from microbrewing into microdistilling. It is good to see craftsmanship making a comeback in such a fine product as alcoholic beverages.
This short documentary is the first in a series called Made by Hand, dedicated to exploring independent, artisanal businesses. In an interview below, filmmaker Keith Ehrlich talks about a growing entrepreneurial spirit among young people who, thanks to the recession, "felt like they had nothing to lose by starting up their own thing."
