What up, Brewsers! The Legendary Brew Crew are back with a special guest who wears ALL the hats—Morgan Robinson, founder of the Hospitality Coalition and part owner of Charlotte’s Babe Cave cocktail bar.

We sip, laugh, and talk hospitality hustle. Morgan takes us through her 20-year journey in the industry, from Chick-fil-A at 14 to opening bars, throwing cocktail competitions, and creating spaces that center women’s experiences. We get into her love for craft cocktails, the art of slow-melting ice, and even why she proudly embraces her villain era (yep, she’s team Ursula and Maleficent!).

We also talk boundary setting, the real behind-the-scenes of opening a bar, and the power of women creating opportunities for other women. Oh, and there’s plenty of banter about Disney villains, smoky beers, and even brothel algorithms.

So grab a drink—maybe a Grand Marnier on ice like Morgan—and pull up a chair. This one’s a vibe.

What we’re drinking:

Grand Marnier on ice

This World and the Other Smoked Helles Lager from Wilmington Brew Works

Tap in and hear how hospitality, empowerment, and a little villain energy can change the game.
