Could Chobani Yogurt Be the Key to America’s Next Great Gins?

Every day, tankers arrive at the Chobani plant in South Edmeston, N.Y., from nearby dairies, each truck holding some 8,000 gallons of milk. The milk is pumped into 200,000-gallon tanks in the pasteurization room before eventually being heated to 131 degrees and put into an industrial centrifuge that divides the cream from the 0.05 percent skim milk. The temperature is then raised even higher to remove any further impurities...

...But with America’s appetite for Greek yogurt what it is, there’s just too much damn whey for Chobani to get rid of every single day...

...He stumbled upon the work of Van Groll, a biochemistry engineer employed as a Wisconsin cheese exec who had been working part-time out of his garage on creating a proprietary technique to turn whey into ethanol...

...Zaydman thought he could maybe change that, while saving the environment in the process. Thus New Age Renewable Energy became Cayuga Ingredients, and Zaydman started knocking on distillery doors in Brooklyn....

...“The quality of the spirit was fantastic and really made all the nuances come through in the gins,” he claims, particularly loving its rich texture that tones down some of the alcohol heat. “Because whey comes from milk sugars, there is a nice creamy mouthfeel to it, which is great.”...

...Besides the great flavor, texture, and environmental impact, New York state distillers also love the price they pay for the 192 proof whey distillate, around $3 a proof gallon, Thomas tells me. Because Cayuga Ingredients strictly uses byproduct, it can pass the savings onto their customers, who are often craft distilleries operating on slim margins. In under a year, 20 New York State distilleries, including Black Momma Vodka, have started using the whey distillate....

...“Spirits are truly renewable,” says Zaydman. “And there’s still an ocean of whey out there left for us to grab.”...

Ken Notes: A New York story with Wisconsin roots. This would be a brilliant idea for a new Wisconsin company. We have a wealth of whey and some master distillers. I see the next RumChata here..

Quenching the local thirst for craft spirits

Two downtown Cedarburg distilleries are capitalizing on a demand for specialty liquor

 Following in the footsteps of the craft beer craze, local distillers are seeing craft spirits take flight.

In recent years, two niche spirit providers — Handen Distillery and The Shinery — have emerged in Cedarburg and both are reporting high demand for specialty liquors such as brown sugar moonshine and locally distilled whiskey.

Parker Dolphin, the head distiller at Handen, said while spirit consumption in Wisconsin still lags behind beer, in recent years he has seen a large increase in demand for niche liquors.

 “Spirits are becoming more popular all across the United States. For me, it’s really cool to see. It’s a passion of mine,” he said.

Handen opened in 2018 at W62 N590 Washington Ave. and distills a variety of spirits including vodka, gin, bourbon and whiskey. Its liquors are incorporated into a rotating variety of cocktails the distillery and bar offers.

7 ways to enjoy Madison, Wisconsin

One of America’s great college towns, Madison’s progressive vibe, fabulous restaurants and compact size have lately made it a destination for savvy travelers.

The state capital of Wisconsin is easy to navigate, and with so many restaurants, spas and natural attractions to visit in and around the city, you’ll want to cover some ground. With direct flights now offered from Chicago, Newark and Denver, we recommend a few nights here, rather than just a day trip from Milwaukee. Here are a few tips for the best things to do in Madison....

Sip more than just beer at local brewers

In addition to top-notch food, you’ll also find a wide selection of locally brewed beverage options in and around Madison. If beers is your thing, head to Giant Jones Brewing Company (which is LGBTQ- and women-owned), Capital Brewery (one of the oldest craft breweries in the country) and ALT Brew (a dedicated gluten-free brewery and taproom). And there’s no shortage of bars and brew pubs, like the Parched Eagle Brew Pub, with a living room–like ambiance, hard-to-find varieties and Thursday-night BYO-cassette-tape-to-play night.

The Cider Farm, which sources its produce from orchards just outside of Madison, has a tasting room in the middle of town, while Bos Meadery produces the fermented honey-derived alcoholic beverage known as mead. (An event space next to its tasting room often hosts local musicians.) For non-alcoholic fizzy fermentation, visit NessAlla Kombucha, a women-run kombucha craft brewery that supplies many of Madison’s natural-food stores and co-ops...

Another round of beer news: Lager & Friends, birthday brews & Lakefront kolsch

Lager & Friends is back in person, at a new site, Eagle Park and The Fermentorium are celebrating anniversaries and Lakefront has a new kolsch-style beer that will be tapped at Old German Beer Hall!

One of the best little beer fests around – says me – is Gathering Place Brewing Company’s Lager & Friends, which celebrates its fourth annual installment this year.

Though it was never meant to be a virtual event, the pandemic has ensured that two out of three years so far the event has been online. And credit where credit is due, it has been one of the most interesting online beer fests I’ve encountered....

Brewhouse, 1930s tavern and more: Old World Wisconsin brewing experience to open
Old World Wisconsin and the Wisconsin Historical Society are unveiling a new brewing experience this June.

According to Dan Freas, the idea of having a brewhouse, or a brewery, at Old World Wisconsin started almost 50 years ago. He`s Old World Wisconsin`s site director.

Up to this point, Freas says,"the brewing of beer has a very important place in the history and culture of Wisconsin so we felt like we were missing an important page from the history books."...
