Hops to Pulp: Experiences of Niche Beverage Makers

Monday, March 14
5:00PM - 6:00PM

The Driskill

With entrepreneurs Manny Carral from Revolucion Coffee + Juice, Cathy Tarasovic of Shrub Drinks and Boyan Kalusevic from Dorcol Spirits, this session is about the trials of getting a beverage startup off the ground and the perceptions of ownership both before and after launching.

Craft is more than just a beverage; it must send a message that inspires community and showcases authentic flavor around a sip. Although craft products increase in market share each year, cool concepts don't guarantee profitability - come learn from entrepreneurs still on their journey, carving their mark.
