In The Face Of A Pandemic, Christmas City Spirits Launched Booze Sanitizer Ingenuity:

IN THE SPIRIT OF HISTORY: Alcohol played a major role in colonial America. You could even argue that massive taxes on the trade were a trigger for the American Revolution. The Moravians bought their distilling knowledge to Bethlehem in 1741 and the craft has had a presence throughout the entire region ever since. A group of Lehigh Valley friends brings back the authenticity and history of this tradition with products made with local sources.

00:30 - Introduction

08:45 - I love the innovation man. You guys were listening and said, hey, we can't get bottles so let's go large volume and we'll go door to door truck style to the hospital to deliver it. So that's what we're doing.

15:00 - You know, it's hard. I wish I had more hours in a day, to be honest with you about that. That's always a factor and that was the case beforehand. I'm a financial advisor by day I know, my clients need to talk through things and look at how their financial plans are dong. Which by the way, has been upended by a virus, which came completely out of the blue, it's crazy.

22:00 - I think with success, America has become more divided. You know, for one reason or another, and this is a good reminder that, hey, we're all American. We're all in this together.
