In what’s quickly becoming an annual holiday tradition at Creative Distillation, we return to one of our favorite research locations: Dry Land Distillers in Longmont, Colorado. It’s our third on-location recording (plus one on Zoom during Covid), making Dry Land our most-visited venue, and puts its founder, Nels Wroe, in contention for most frequent Creative Distillation guest. Further adding to the holiday vibes, we’re joined by another favorite fall guest, CU’s Ethan Poskanzer.
As he guides us through three of Dry Land’s featured offerings, Nels catches us up on the state of the Front Range hospitality scene. The takeaway is that local businesses are what makes our community a community, times are tough for them, and it’s incumbent upon us to support them, especially during the holiday season.
We get a chance to try a contender from Dry Land’s annual Nog Off, and then Jeff breaks out his own bottle of homemade eggnog with a tiki twist. One was distinctly better than the other, but Jeff’s was quite good too.
All of that, plus some final thoughts for 2025 and holiday wishes, and Jeff reminds us of some of the ghosts of podcasts past.
Enjoy and cheers!

70: Bryn Rees (Colorado) at Pits and Stems: Halloween Craft Cocktails and CU's Venture Partners
Today, we pause our coverage of the Reversing the Arrow conference to bring you a Creative Distillation treat: our annual Halloween episode! This time it comes with a twist. Instead of Jeff putting Brad through another ritual pumpkin beer tasting, we return to one of our favorite locations, Pits & Stems, to sample some handcrafted fall-flavored cocktails, created by our favorite bartender, Ethan Decker.
Joining Brad and Jeff is Bryn Rees, Associate Vice Chancellor for Research & Innovation and Managing Director of Venture Partners at CU-Boulder. In short, Bryn and his group are at the center of tech transfer and new technological developments coming out of CU. As you’ll hear, there’s a lot to be excited about with regards to innovation here. Tune in to learn more about this, as well as Jeff’s horror film recommendations and other thoughts on this spooky season.
Enjoy and cheers - and Happy Halloween!
