Hand of the Maker (Maguey at Marz pt 2)

  • Marz Community Brewing Co. 3630 South Iron Street Chicago, IL, 60609 United States (map)

Join Marz Community Brewing Co. for our second collaborative series with Lou Bank of SACRED Agave.

Lou Bank is the Agave Whisperer,and he has been working with mezcaleres all over Mexico for over a decade. Marz will be releasing in collaboration with “Drink More Wild Agave” a series of super limited edition wild agave spirits. You can be the first to try them at the Marz Mothership on Wednesday, April 8, from 6-8pm in a guided tasting with Lou.

This second session will highlight the Hand of the Maker. We’ll be sharing three agave spirits all made with the same agave (Inaequidens), in the same place (Rio de Parras, Michoacan), using the same process. But each is made by a different mezcalero, highlighting the importance of the hand of the maker.

Those three mezcaleros are

Marcelino Plancarte
Raul Pedraza Padilla
Jorge Perez

They cooked their agave underground in an earthen oven; milled the agave using wooden hammers; fermented it in wells; distilled it in wood-fired copper cazos with wooden condensers.

You will be able to purchase a set of three 200ML bottles of the spirits after the tasting.
