While many bar books hit the market every year, not many are as impactful as Eric Alperin & Deborah Stoll's Unvarnished: A Gimlet-eyed Look at Life Behind the Bar. What you get in this book is not simply another collection of recipes, although it does have those as well. Instead what you get is an insider's look into the business, including all of the highs and just as many lows. The result is an honest & truthful take on this industry while reminding us why we love this world so much. Tune in this week, as we hear from the authors & find out what went into putting this important book together. =============================   Join us every Monday as acclaimed bartender, Erick Castro, interviews some of the bar industry's top talents from around the world, including bartenders, distillers & authors. If you love cocktails & spirits then this award-winning podcast is just for you.   SUPPORT US ON PATREON: Get early access to episodes, exclusive bonus episodes, special content and more: https://www.patreon.com/BartenderAtLarge    FOLLOW US ON INSTAGRAM: Erick Castro: www.instagram.com/HungryBartender Bartender at Large: www.instagram.com/BartenderAtLarge   FOLLOW US ON TWITTER:   Erick Castro: www.twitter.com/HungryBartender Bartender at Large: www.twitter.com/BartendAtLarge
