In this episode of Sasso’s Out, Frank and Christina head to the heart of Hammonton, New Jersey (yep, the blueberry capital of the world!) and set up shop at the stylish Blue Rascal Distillery. Join them, and the ever-controversial Mike Haelig—General Manager of The Lobby Club in Trenton, NJ —for laughs, chaos, and a spirited dive into what makes this town and its local spirits so special.

The Sasso's sit down with Clint Beyers and Ryan Carpenter from Blue Rascal Distillery to talk all things distilling: from blueberries in gin to why you can’t legally make Scotch in the U.S.

Along the way, they touch on Mike’s marathon journey, vodka snobbery, party plans, and how Ryan went from liquor store stockroom to master distiller.

This episode is equal parts boozy education, hometown pride, and hilarious sidetracks. Whether you love them, hate them, or just came for the gin, there’s a seat at the table for you.
