From northern Minnesota, a father-daughter pair of innovative barrel makers is creating a tastier future for craft spirits

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 06:37:57 GMT

Russ Karasch opened a plastic bag filled with strips of wood the color of the best part of a piece of toast.“Smell this,” he said.The aroma was intoxicatingly comforting, like roasting a chocolatey Scotcheroo bar over a campfire made of cinnamon sticks, if such a thing were possible. It’s amburana wood, a Brazilian variety, Karasch said. And in a way, it represents the vast possibilities this expert barrel-maker is creating for the future of wood-aging spirits.As craft distilling grows nationwide — in many ways mirroring the rise of craft brewing a decade ago — demand is creeping back up for the time-honored art of cooperage, or barrel-making. And some of the biggest innovations in barrels are happening in Minnesota; specifically in Park Rapids, Minn., off a side street between the airport and the police station.Karasch and his daughter, Heidi Korb, launched Black Swan Cooperage in 2009. Since then, the duo has become recognized across the distilling, brewing and winemaking industri...

ALBANY, N.Y. (NEWS10) -- Today's 98.3 TRY Social Dilemma came from Bonnie and it's about adult children. Here's her email: Get the latest, news, weather, sports and community events delivered right to your inbox! Hi Jaime Here's my story. My husband and I got married when we were in our early 20's. We quickly had three children. Here we are almost 30 years later, and for the last two years, we've been enjoying our time alone...vacationing, relaxing and making our home completely ours. However, now our youngest daughter is asking to move back in with us. She's not struggling, she has a good job, and a nice apartment. She just wants to come home. We think she's just not a fan of taking care of herself. She likes her meals made for her. But of course, that's not how life is as an adult. So my husband and I are considering telling her she can't come back right now. Some friends have told us we're being too harsh, but I feel like being a good parent, sometimes means saying no. That com...

Ask Amy: Even with sobriety, alcohol dominates marriage

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 06:37:57 GMT

Dear Amy: From the day we met, over 40 years ago, my wife and I have been social drinkers.Get-togethers at weddings, holidays, concerts, sporting events, etc., have always featured alcohol.While I can have a couple of drinks and stop, when it comes to my wife — not so much.She will keep ordering drinks right up to 2 a.m. And while sometimes stupidly funny when we were younger, as we’ve aged the end results were becoming frequently embarrassing.I was becoming very concerned about my wife’s drinking and her health.One night when she went way over the edge, I filmed her, sent the video to her, and told her that I no longer wished to be a part of that lifestyle.I dumped all the alcohol in the house, and neither of us has had a drink since.I hardly miss it, and she had no trouble quitting, either, but mentally it has been very challenging for her.Alcohol was her social lubricant. Alcohol is what allowed her to get past her social anxiety and self-esteem issues.Now she either doesn’...
