CBI021 Diversity and Versatility of the Craft Beverage Industry with Reel Adams

 

Reel Adams is a graduate of the Craft Beverage Institute of the Southeast program at A-B Tech. After graduating, he worked as an intern at Elevated Mountain Distillery, which eventually led to a full-time position. Currently, Reel works at H&H Distillery as the company’s Head Distiller.

 

Reel joins me today to share his passion for the brewing and distillation industry.
