Hotaling & Co.’s Bruce Joseph Retires After 45 Years
Bruce Joseph started out as a brewer at what was then Anchor Brewing in San Francisco, and became a distiller when owner Fritz Maytag decided he wanted to add a distillery to make rye whiskey. Old Potrero has become a San Francisco favorite, and after 45 years with what is now Hotaling & Co., he’s easing into retirement this week. Bruce Joseph joins us for an exclusive interview on this week’s WhiskyCast In-Depth. In the news, U.S. trade tariffs against Canada and Mexico are on hold for 30 days, but the fallout continues to spread across North America. We’ll talk with the co-chair of the Congressional Bourbon Caucus, Kentucky Rep. Morgan McGarvey about that fallout and the impact on the Bourbon industry.
