FERMENTI'S PARADOX
Hulme and Arathoon view Still Spirits as a quieter alternative to some of the other downtown bars and want customers to think of it just as they would a high-end restaurant where they can come to try new things and experiment with different flavors. “We want people to keep their minds open,” says Hulme. Looking toward the future, the pair hopes to open other tasting rooms and expand distribution, but for the moment their focus is on making quality drinks. “We’re just concentrated on the bar and the drinks and the culture and making a really good product,” says Hulme. “We want to be super proud of the stuff we do.” 120 Marble Avenue NW, Albuquerque 505-750-3138 www.facebook.com/stillspiritsabq Top: Peter Arathoon and Zac Hulme.
