Drinking While Kosher with Rachel Bieber

This week, in the run up to Rosh Hashanah, we take another crack at the subject of kosher drinking, and the long intersection between Jewishness and distillation! We are joined for this redux by the wonderful Rachel Bieber, who brings a wealth of personal and familial experience to the table - as well as some great stories from her time working at the Lost Spirits Distillery!
