s1 ep6 Gin [Don't be afraid] 1 September 2019



Keith and Melik are still formulating the names of the show as we explore the world of gin. They realize that gin is a polarizing spirit but they encourage you to take a listen to this episode. You'll educate yourself on the spirit and may find a way to enjoy it. Keith talks about his bicycle riding journey that will lead up to him participating in the 2019 DALMAC. The Dick Allen Lansing to MACkinaw Bicycle Tour is Michigan’s annual epic end-of-summer bicycle camping tour which is a summer bicycle camping tour from Lansing to Mackinaw City. What makes gin 'gin', it is juniper. Juniper (Juniperus communis ) is an evergreen shrub found on mountains and heaths throughout Europe, Southwest Asia, and North America. Keith talks about what goes into a "gin basket".
