The Merrimack Black is a limited edition hot sauce made with hand-crafted beer vinegar, roasted of wood fire ingredients, black garlic and the chocolate scorpion pepper. This black hot sauce from Craic Sauce was made in collaboration with F-Word Farm, Andre K Mills and Navigation Brewery Co in Lowell, MA. Brian interviews the three different collaborators and shares his own insights on getting pushed out of our comfort zone with this collab project. The first interview guest is Emily of F-Word Farm in Dracut, MA. Emily Makrez is a food, farm, foraging and fermenting enthusiast. Her interest in food took her to Seattle to study nutrition at Bastyr University, but a love of New England brought her back home to a farm with two dogs, a cat and a whole bunch of chickens. And peppers, and koji, and vinegar, and more f-word things! Follow F-Word Farm @fwordfarm PJ Mercier is the co-owner of Navigation Brewing C0 which was started 8 years ago on St. Patrick's Day.
