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!

73: Ashley Tillman & Alicia Sepulveda (CU) at Dry Land Distillers: Holiday Nog & Innovation at CU
Creative Distillation
1 hour 3 minutes 19 seconds

73: Ashley Tillman & Alicia Sepulveda (CU) at Dry Land Distillers: Holiday Nog & Innovation at CU
It’s our annual Creative Distillation holiday episode, and to ring in the season we’re spreading and receiving good cheer at one of our favorite locations, Dry Land Distillers, on Main Street in Longmont, Colorado.
Dry Land founder Nels Wroe walks us through a couple of delicious libations, including Dry Land’s sweet (but not overly so) house egg nog. Nels also previews Dry Land’s seventh annual Nog Off, a fixture on the holiday calendars of many, and talks about Dry Land’s efforts to be Colorado’s first producer of regenerative spirits.
Brad and Jeff are also joined by Ashley Tillman, Innovation and Entrepreneurship Director for the entire University of Colorado system, and Alicia Sepulveda, Assistant Director of Research at CU-Boulder’s RADD Lab, which conducts Research on Affective Disorders and Development. They talk about CU’s goal of being the #1 innovation and entrepreneurship program in the country, and how the challenges of the program prepares students for more successful outcomes in learning and employment, by instilling the “grit” required to succeed in their post-academic lives.
All of that — plus the answer to the burning question of what came first, the eggnog or the rum? — on this very special episode of Creative Distillation.
Enjoy and cheers — and happy holidays from all of us at Creative Distillation!
