Reinhard Pohorec ist ein Tausendsassa aus dem schönen  Wien.Sake-Sommelier, Cognac-Educator, Bartender, Sensorik-Spezialist,  Absinth- und Wermutproduzent - wie findet man da noch Zeit, eine  Barkarriere hinter dem Tresen einer der renommiertesten Bars des Landes  voran zu treiben? Ein Rätsel! Reinhard gibt uns jedenfalls Einblick in so diverse Themengebiete wie Sensorik, die Wiener Barszene und alkoholfreien Genuss. Hört also gerne rein um eine Scheibe abzuschneiden von einem  Bartender, welcher seine Arbeit über Grenzen hinausträgt, die sich viele  von uns tagtäglich setzen! https://pohorec.com

Christoph "Chutz" Stamm ist einer der beiden Besitzer des Angel's Share in Basel. Er gibt uns charmant und abgewogen Einblicke in die finanzielle und organisatorische Seite eines Barbesitzers in der empfindlich teuren Schweiz. Wieviel kosten ein Mitarbeiter? Ist ein finanzieller Abstand für den Vormieter üblich? Was sind Preiserwartungen der Kunden - und wie wird man überhaupt Wirt mit all dem rechtlichen Rattenschwanz in Basel? All dies sind Fragen, welche wir aufrollen bis Chutz mit dem Kirchen-Glockenschlag die Bar öffnen musste. Inzwischen steht er leider schon nicht mehr hinter dem Tresen. Insofern sind wir dankbar, dass wir vielleicht die letzte Episode mit ihm gerade für uns aufnehmen konnten! https://angelsshare.bar

In our second episode, Dmitry Shovkoplias explains how important it is for him to share his knowledge and experience with other bar owners and managers in Ukraine, for he not only tries to make his bar working out - but the whole community!  We are also gonna discuss why there is a large bar festival of Kiev, taking place every September.

ES09: with Dmitriy Shovkoplias from Kiev (2/2, English)

Dmitriy Shovkoplias is a driving force of the Ukrainian bar scene. He runs and co-owns the most amazing  Parovoz, his bar in the center of Kiev. Even though it might be the hardest bars to find on earth, Parovoz is also a bar that could be in a James Bond movie set and will serve you world-class cocktails in the deepest bunker. With Dmitriy, in that first episode, we will answer, among other things, those two questions: How do you get here from being an internet cafe selling chips, beers, and shots...? And how do you end up building ice machines and exporting them Europe-wide!?

On our trips to Armenia we learned a few things: people are highly educated, enjoy life and love food and drink of the highest quality. So let's give Araik Amzayan some more time to give insights into how 'food and drink are always connected'. And how the local bar scene learns from the kitchen and what role the fresh festival Yerevan Food Fest plays in all this.

Today we meet with Araik Amzayan, one of the organizers of the yearly Yerevan Food Fest and the regular Gastro Camp. Although he's originally a chef, he has very interesting insights to share for he is interested in all things liquid as well. Let's dive in!

Find out about the first Krakow speakeasy (and probably the hardest one to find) from Krakow in this interview with Olek Szota. It's an episode in English in which we are gonna talk about good service and raising the bar. It's an episode about expectations of guests and how to possitively open them up. And an episode of good drinks, of course! Cheers! http://mercy-brown.pl

At the time of the podcast he worked in one of the most popular outside bars in über-summery Yerevan. He speaks about the pressure of serving more than a thousand guests every single day and what the preferences as well as priorities of his guests are. http://santafe.am

Orest Seredyak is a Ukrainian bartender from Ivan-Frankiwsk. At the time  of recording he managed the famous bar 'Libraria Speakeasy' in the  center of beautiful L'viv.In our second episode he gives insight into  their prep kitchen and how universally they use it to justify that  investment. What and how they learn and where they put their focus is  another topic this episode.

Orest Seredyak is a Ukrainian bartender from Ivan-Frankiwsk. At the time of recording he managed the famous bar 'Libraria Speakeasy' in the center of beautiful L'viv. He and his team built up the program and reputation of this hidden gem for  the last years. And every season they managed to make another huge step with their menu or how to incorporate local ingredients. It's well worth to learn from these guys as they have the will to offer quality as great as in western capitals - with much less at hand to do it with!

Ivan blickt für uns auf die Barszene aus einem seltenen Blickwinkel: aus  einer Kleinstadt. Das pittoreske Thun in der Schweiz umfasst nur 45.000  Einwohner und hat nur eine einzige klassische Cocktail Bar. "Wie blickt man von  diesem Blickpunkt auf Konkurrenz oder Gemeinschaft innerhalb der Bargemeinde?" fragen  wir uns. Und deswegen fragen wir ihn! Wir lernen durch Ivan, dass "Provinz" nicht  gleich "provinziell" ist. Und können nur jedem empfehlen, sich hier eine  Scheibe Schweizerische Gelassenheit und Perfektion abzuschneiden...
