Put That In My Horn: Drinking Culture and the Renaissance Faire - Part 1 (With Marilynn and Renee Hendrie)

This week on Breaking Spirits, we are joined by the wonderful Hendrie sisters to discuss the world of the Renaissance Faire, and its deep connections to drinking culture! How did the Faire get started? Is there more to drink there than simple mead? And what does all of this have to do with the rise of craft brewing? Find out all of this and more this week on Breaking Spirits!


Cocktail Discussed:


Purl of the Canyon

1 ½ oz. Anchor Distilling Co. Geneviève Genever Style Gin

½ oz. Shelter Distilling Little Green Monster Absinthe

¼ oz. Hinterhouse Distilling Anorak

3 dashes Angostura bitters

Figueroa Mountain Davy Brown Ale


Combine first four ingredients in a shaker with ice, and shake until well chilled. Strain into a goblet and fill to the top with the ale. Express an orange twist over the surface, and place it as a garnish, and serve.
