Maybe you were speeding. Maybe you weren’t. Either way, the Mexican police have pulled you over. Question now is, what are you gonna do punk? Do you feel lucky? It’s a dirty, hairy episode of Agave Road Trip!

Agave Road Trip is a critically acclaimed, award-winning podcast that helps gringx bartenders better understand agave, agave spirits, and rural Mexico. Lou Bank hosts this episode alongside Ismael Gomez of Cruz de Fuego Mezcal while Dr. Steven Alvarez chuckles in the background. Then Rob Lopata steps in. And then journalist Lydia Carey. I guess I know a lot of people who have been pulled over in Mexico.

Episode Notes

When renting cars in Mexico City, I always always always rent from Avis, using their USA website. I pre-pay, and that has always kept the price consistent.

I mention my favorite breakfast, but fail to mention that it’s Maiz de Cacao (a suggestion from Chava that’s paid off for years)!
