What You Need To Know About Craft Distillers

By Kenya Campos


Alcoholic beverages are always present in almost any aspect of human living. People all over the world are not new to these drinks. There is no mistaking that intoxicating drinks have taken the world by storm. In fact these drinks are so heavily consumed by the public that alcoholism is becoming a rampant problem that can have adverse effects to the society.

For non alcohol consumers, it is fairly perplexing to point out a characteristic of this particular beverage to love. But, for craft distillers and avid drinkers, there are more to drinking than just being drunk. In a recent survey that targeted quite a number of young people, there are many reasons why people consume alcohol. To be able to socialize is one of the major causes of spirit consumption. You can blame Hollywood and other entertainment medias for this, what with them depicting the standard party boy and girl stereotype that appears to be popular with the crowd. For teenagers who just wish to fit in, this could be quite an example.

Some drink to take away the feeling of unease when one is subjected to unfamiliar situations. Those who are terribly shy that their shyness gets in the way to meeting new people resort to downing that extra shot of tequila to gather the courage to speak up and mingle with the crowd. Sometimes all it takes is getting a little tipsy to be able to have the courage to do novel things, all for the sake of adventure. You only live once, after all.

The influence of friends and other people that surrounds a person is enough to make him or her drink. Sometimes these people are obliged to drink out of respect, so as not to offend the one who is offering the said beverage. Sometimes, they choose to drink because everyone else is doing so. This is true for most underage drinkers, who consume alcohol in order to belong to the clique.

Some also drink because they had been curious as to what it really tastes like. Sometimes, this curiosity just leaves them deeply involved in something, which inevitably leads to addiction. The most avid drinkers often take this path, and then suddenly they can not get out.

Most alcoholic beverages are made by large distilling companies. They make their products in large batches and store them in vats. These liqueurs are then mass produced by hundreds of boxes that make their way to retailers and grocery stores. But, small scale wine making is on the rise, known as micro distillery. Ordinary people with a profound love for alcohol push themselves to create small batches of what is usually called artisanal beverage.

These experts concentrate mostly on the making of spirits. They take on vodka, gin, tequila, rum, and whiskey and add locally grown products to it. It makes craft spirits taste differently from massive scale made ones.

Craft distillery does not stop on the production of spirits. They are now also engaged in the making of liqueurs, which are flavored spirits. The risk takers even try to produce an altogether different type of beer.

The production of artisanal drinks can be a good business. You just have to have a license or permit to start operations. Once you have started, you will also pay certain taxes to be able to continue operations.
