US News - Distilling vodka from San Francisco's fog
Distilling vodka from San Francisco's fogBy the time tonight's partying starts to wind down, will you be IN A FOG? You might be if you've been imbibing the drink Lee Cowan has discovered:Although you might think that a vodka still would be a great place to ring in the New Year -- it's actually just a giant tease. You can't drink any of it straight right out of the tap, because at this point in the process, it's 190 proof.Oh!Yep! cried Cowan. It almost evaporates right away, said Caley Shoemaker, the head distiller at Hangar 1 Vodka. That's why it's called a spirit!Hangar 1 gets its name from its home, an old airport hangar at what used to be the Naval Air Station in Alameda, across the bay from San Francisco. You can make vodka out of just about anything that ferments, but here's something you might not know: Your average bottle of vodka is actually about 60% water, Shoemaker said. And the water has a ton of influence on the final flavor.Water, however, is a pretty coveted commodity in California, having just emerged from several years of drought. So, Shoemaker decided she'd experiment with a more sustainable option, and try to squeeze water out of an icon: San Francisco's famous fog.Turned out no one had tried it, which I was kind of surprised about, she said. With all this fog!A quick meteorological lesson: fog is essentially made of tiny, floating water droplets -- and, it turns out, those drops have a flavor. It's water, so it's very nuanced, she said. According to Cowan, fog water is kind of like licking a wet rock, but in a good way. It almost, like, whispers to the places the fog traveled, Shoemaker said. I mean it sounds kind of silly, but with all that little bit of salinity and minerality, you can almost, like, taste the journey of the fog.Still, coaxing that water literally out of thin air does take a bit of engineering.Hangar 1 enlisted the help of Chris Fogliatti, who has been wrangling clouds for years. He's a volunteer with a Canadian non-profit called FogQuest, which has been constructing special nets to catch fog in the mountains of Africa, Asia and Latin America since early 2000.His nets can net around 3-4 liters of water per square meter per day -- and FogQuest makes fog collectors as large as 40 square meters. In one village in Guatemala, there are 35 of those nets set up. Together, they can capture up to 1,800 gallons of fog water a day. Cowan said, It's a pretty simple process, right?Yeah. It's designed to trap the microscopic droplets in fog, and convert them into larger droplets, which then fall into the trough and are collected, Fogliatti said. In the Bay Area, it can take up to a day to collect enough fog water to cut just a single bottle of vodka.Which might be because there's less fog in general, says Todd Dawson, an environmental scientist at UC Berkeley. The length of time that the fog lingers around on the coast now, has gone down by about three hours every single foggy day, he said. Dawson

PSA Thanks to Hangar 1, Rosé Vodka Exists We Repeat, Rosé Vodka Exists!
PSA Thanks to Hangar 1, Rosé Vodka Exists. We Repeat, Rosé Vodka Exists!.
Summer may be long gone, but rosé season is here to stay thanks to Hangar 1 Rosé Vodka! And there's no gimmicks: the innovation isn't just a rosé-flavored vodka — it actually combines real rosé with liquor.
In working with neighboring vineyards and farms to source the grapes and fresh ingredients that create our core products, we were inspired to create a rosé vodka that celebrates local Golden State wine culture, the brand states. Hangar 1 Rosé is a first-of-its-kind blend of our classic Hangar 1 vodka and real California rosé wine.

Like the summer staple, the drink maintains its pale pink color, and is, floral with notes of crisp apple, sweet pea blossoms, and a hint of oak on the nose, with a silky and soft mouthfeel finishing fresh with hints of cranberry.

The Making of Absinthe
In 2007, the United States government lifted a near century-long ban on absinthe. Public excitement about the newly available drink has been obvious at St. George Spirits in Alameda California, the first American absinthe producer since the ban went into effect. When the spirit was first released, the tasting room at St. George Spirits was packed and the line snaked across two parking lots. Yet many people were not fully aware of what the drink actually was nor why one would want to drink it. To help distill some absinthe facts, Laurence Liss, Web Editor for Outside's Go went to speak with Lance Winters, Distiller at St. George Spirits.

Absinthe Myths
In 2007, after being banned for almost a century, absinthe became legal in the United States. The re-evaluation came after European distillers pressured American officials to conduct real research on the supposed deleterious effects of the herbal liqueur. With scientific data debunking the common public misconception that traditional absinthe caused hallucinations or had toxic side effects, the U.S. government lifted the ban and brought glee to American absinthe connoisseurs and distillers. But among the general public many of the myths still prevail. To help set the record straight Laurence Liss, Web Editor for Outside's Go, went to Alameda, California to speak with Lance Winters, Distiller at St. George Spirits, the first American absinthe producer in nearly 100 years.
Assemblymember Levine Aims to Roll Back “Prohibition” for California Distilleries
(Sacramento) – Many people enjoy going to California’s wineries to taste and buy wine. However, people cannot purchase distilled spirits from distilleries in the Golden State. Currently, only California and nine other states still carry this prohibition against distilled spirits. California State Assemblymember Marc Levine (D-San Rafael) wants to change that outdated law with Assembly Bill 1233. If passed and signed into law, AB 1233 would allow California distilleries to sell up to three bottles of their products to qualified customers. At a recent press conference, alongside fellow legislators and California distillery owners, Assemblymember Levine made the case for his progressive legislation.
“AB 1233 will help these products compete against large out of state distilleries, promote local job development, further the growth of California’s small businesses and increase local and state tax revenue,” said Assemblymember Levine.
Watch this Assembly Access Video to hear more of Assemblymember Levine’s comments from the press conference.

Dragnet: Homicide / The Werewolf / Homicide
Dragnet is a radio and television crime drama about the cases of a dedicated Los Angeles police detective, Sergeant Joe Friday, and his partners. The show takes its name from an actual police term, a dragnet, meaning a system of coordinated measures for apprehending criminals or suspects.
Dragnet debuted inauspiciously. The first several months were bumpy, as Webb and company worked out the program's format and eventually became comfortable with their characters (Friday was originally portrayed as more brash and forceful than his later usually relaxed demeanor). Gradually, Friday's deadpan, fast-talking persona emerged, described by John Dunning as a cop's cop, tough but not hard, conservative but caring. (Dunning, 210) Friday's first partner was Sergeant Ben Romero, portrayed by Barton Yarborough, a longtime radio actor. After Yarborough's death in 1951 (and therefore Romero's, who also died of a heart attack, as acknowledged on the December 27, 1951 episode The Big Sorrow), Friday was partnered with Sergeant Ed Jacobs (December 27, 1951 - April 10, 1952, subsequently transferred to the Police Academy as an instructor), played by Barney Phillips; Officer Bill Lockwood (Ben Romero's nephew, April 17, 1952 - May 8, 1952), played by Martin Milner (with Ken Peters taking the role for the June 12, 1952 episode The Big Donation); and finally Frank Smith, played first by Herb Ellis (1952), then Ben Alexander (September 21, 1952-1959). Raymond Burr was on board to play the Chief of Detectives. When Dragnet hit its stride, it became one of radio's top-rated shows.
Webb insisted on realism in every aspect of the show. The dialogue was clipped, understated and sparse, influenced by the hardboiled school of crime fiction. Scripts were fast moving but didn't seem rushed. Every aspect of police work was chronicled, step by step: From patrols and paperwork, to crime scene investigation, lab work and questioning witnesses or suspects. The detectives' personal lives were mentioned but rarely took center stage. (Friday was a bachelor who lived with his mother; Romero, a Mexican-American from Texas, was an ever fretful husband and father.) Underplaying is still acting, Webb told Time. We try to make it as real as a guy pouring a cup of coffee. (Dunning, 209) Los Angeles police chiefs C.B. Horrall, William A. Worton, and (later) William H. Parker were credited as consultants, and many police officers were fans.
Most of the later episodes were entitled The Big _____, where the key word denoted a person or thing in the plot. In numerous episodes, this would the principal suspect, victim, or physical target of the crime, but in others was often a seemingly inconsequential detail eventually revealed to be key evidence in solving the crime. For example, in The Big Streetcar the background noise of a passing streetcar helps to establish the location of a phone booth used by the suspect.
Throughout the series' radio years, one can find interesting glimpses of pre-renewal Downtown L.A., still full of working class residents and the cheap bars, cafes, hotels and boarding houses which served them. At the climax of the early episode James Vickers, the chase leads to the Subway Terminal Building, where the robber flees into one of the tunnels only to be killed by an oncoming train. Meanwhile, by contrast, in other episodes set in outlying areas, it is clear that the locations in question are far less built up than they are today. Today, the Imperial Highway, extending 40 miles east from El Segundo to Anaheim, is a heavily used boulevard lined almost entirely with low-rise commercial development. In an early Dragnet episode scenes along the Highway, at the road to San Pedro, clearly indicate that it still retained much the character of a country highway at that time.
