Thomas Tew Rum

Thomas Tew Rum - "Dirty Jobs'" Mike Rowe made a bit of Thomas Tew Rum with Newport Distilling Company and the show is set to air on Discovery Channel on Tuesday, Jan. 11 at 9 p.m.

I hear he's covered in molasses in the episode as he helps turn bitter black strap molasses into tasty aged rum.

The history of Rhode Island as a rum capital will be part of the conversation.

"Dirty Pirate Parties" are planned at four venues according to Newport Distilling spokesman Laura Blackwell.
