Is mezcal sustainable? (Sustainability miniseries, part 1 of 3)
There’s a lot of industry talk about only supporting sustainable mezcals. But … none of them is sustainable. Or, at least, none of them that is being exported is sustainable. How can that be? What does that mean? And how does that inform what you should drink or not drink? Chava and I bicker it out in this episode of Agave Road Trip!
Agave Road Trip is a critically acclaimed, award-winning podcast that helps gringx bartenders better understand agave, agave spirits, and rural Mexico. It’s hosted by Lou Bank and Chava Periban.
