It’s safe to say that John Lyda—a full-time faculty member and stalwart of the Craft Beverage Institute of the Southeast at A-B Tech—and I do a lot over the summer. Like the Batman to my Robin, John and I share a passion for troubleshooting and helping out. So, we get a lot of projects in the summer that keep us busier than usual. These projects include helping local businesses, doing house calls, and being a resource and outpost for everyone. And, oh, have you heard about the summer programs we offer at the Craft Beverage Institute?
In this episode, John and I share our plans for the summer, including our internship programs and our initial ideas for opening a bartending school. We discuss the new cohort for Fall 2023 at the Craft Beverage Institute and why the program takes a serious approach to safety. We explain why we’re big on helping out the local craft beverage industry. We also sample a gorgeous agave tequila for Booze Clues and highlight what kava is all about.
