Weekends On The Water is pumped to visit with Texas, actually American, Alcohol Pioneer Kelly Railean. Railean, an avid sailor, is a Master Distiller who opened not only the first women-owned, certified "Made in USA" distillery, but the first to produce Handcrafted American Rum and Agave Products to be certified as Made In USA no matter the owner’s gender. In 2005 she launched the only distillery in the Houston/Galveston region and basically re-ignited the American rum industry in the USA and spear-headed the concept of manufacturing specialty, small, handcrafted batches utilizing Grade-A ingredients to compete with the mass-produced spirits companies monopolizing the market. But in addition to leading the American Run Revolution, she pioneered a new category of American spirit made from 100% Blue Agave which rival Mexico's finest tequilas. But the Railean Distillery is not limited to Rum nor Agave and we will dive deep into the growing Railean product line that now covers almost every segment of the liquor business. As a pioneer, Railean was a regular in Austin fighting, lobbying and eventually helping rewrite the Texas liquor laws and regulations. As a result she was able to open the impressive Buccaneer Bar at the distillery, which includes a craft cocktail bar, tasting room, retail store, gift shop and live music venue which only very recently was allowed to re-open following a long shutdown because of the Covid-19 pandemic. Not only will we be able to visit with a guest we have wanted on the show since Day 1, but we will be broadcasting LIVE from the Distillery on the San Leon Peninsula just off the coast of Galveston Bay.
