We're breaking down the Spirits world with OJ Lima, founder of Taste, Select, Repeat & Kinfolk Spirits!

We're diving into spirits trends for 2024 as well as non-alcoholic spirits, being a Spirits Judge and the American & Japanese Whiskey markets. OJ let's us know what it means to "Date the Nose & Marry the Palate"

From "picking" single barrels to sipping Eagle Rare 25, we're having some fun in this one, and you will too. Want more? Follow OJ @neatrockscocktail and Pierre at @leastihavewhisky and check out the store @tasteselectrepeat

It's time for #CBC2024 in Las Vegas and what better way to get a lay of the land than to connect with Skip and Joe from HUDL Brewing.

The fellas share their experiences of learning brewing, creating popular beer recipes, and the importance of meeting consumer preferences.

We also discussed the upcoming craft beer events in Las Vegas (including our Welcome Party with CBP, Arryved and Able Baker Brewing).

The team conveyed their enthusiasm and pride in their preparations for HUDL week, aiming to ensure a memorable and enjoyable experience for all attendees.

We hit on the Art District and Old Vegas and all the good things we're about to experience at CBC 2024!

Thanks HUDL! See you soon!

After thoroughly enjoying a number of delicious beers from this brewery, I had to connect with Steve Parker, Co-Founder & Head Brewer of Fidens Brewing Company (Albany, NY)

We jump into Steve's love of beer and taking the leap from Phys-Ed teacher to professional brewer and business owner.

Due to the pandemic, their business plan had to shift from taproom to a to-go model, and that created an unexpected surge in demand.

We discuss the challenges of managing the taproom, and expanding at the right time and pace. The demand was so great, so quickly, that customers were sleeping in the parking lot!

We discuss inspirations, such as Tree House, Trillium, Bissell Brothers, and Other Half and we also hit on the the evolving trends in the beer industry, including the growing popularity of lower alcohol options and the exploration of new hop varieties.

Steve emphasized the significance of finding the right staff and prioritizing quality over quantity, highlighting the impact on sales and customer satisfaction.

Lots of great tidbits in this one, enjoy!
