Nick and Johnny talk with Scott and Jessica from The Northern Maine Distilling Companyfrom Houlton, Maine, makers of Twenty 2 Vodka. They distribute in about three states, but are hoping to distribute nationally. They are a husband and wife team that got the original idea from a business class project.
We also talk with Kevin Selvy who started Crazy Mountain Brewery in Vail, CO, who brew about 10 different beers. Kevin started his brewery after working in the financial industry and wanted to brew beer and have fun.
Both companies raised money to start with investors and deal with very different restrictions being in different states and in different types of alcohol.
