Ep5: Wildrye Distilling | Troy Downing + Family Meal Sacramento | Clay Nutting Sanity Media


There are over 750 distilleries across all 50 states that are now producing hand sanitizer. On this episode, hear from one of them. Troy Downing is the co-owner of Wildrye Distilling in Bozeman, Montana. From working with the highway patrol to relay sanitizer across the state to fielding requests from EMTs as far as New York to loading hand sanitizer onto planes operated by volunteer pilots, the past month and a half has been a whirlwind for Troy and his team. On this episode, Troy shares how his family has pitched in to help, how he worked to cut through red tape via the CARES Act, and his favorite spirit (or two!).

Later in the episode, we’re joined by Clay Nutting, the owner of the Michelin-rated restaurant Canon in Sacramento, California. Clay is behind Family Meal Sacramento, an effort made up of a number of restaurants in his city that creates meal kits for at-risk members of the community. They have supplied over 50,000 meals and raised over $90,000.
