Saturday, April 29th, 2018, the little neighborhood deli just off the train station in Freiburg, Germany had its tables rearranged and draped in green tablecloths. Over the course of seven hours, hundreds of people walked through and tasted absinthes made in Switzerland, France, Germany, and Texas.

Most of the presentations were delivered in German, but they tolerated English to hear about these Texas upstarts making absinthe. Perhaps the most compelling part of the presentation was the part with the single botanical distillates.

We made new friends and fans, and are honored to have been included in the festivities. Here’s to this year and next.
