Damon and Joel talk about everything from changing perceptions around gin & tequila to creating characters at hotel bars. Learn more about overlooked spirits behind the bar and find out how to get over your fear of certain spirits by trying the right stuff! This program was sponsored by White Oak Pastures

“There’s nothing worse than somebody forcing a brand or product down your throat.”

“It’s great seeing people push boarders [with spirits and brands], but it can get gimmicky.”
