A lot of good comes from “living local.” Supporting local restaurants. Frequenting local bars. Buying local products. Cooking with local food. Drinking local booze. It’s what keeps the small communities of America running.
There’s nothing better than rolling into your hometown local bar and having the bartender know exactly who you are and what your drink is. Honestly, we feel like a celebrity. Sometimes they even throw in some free shots or a free beer. We like to pretend we’re local royalty.
And FYI: brandy is cool again. Not like, cool-to-steal-out-of-your-parents-liquor-cabinet-when-you-were-sixteen-cool, but cool like all-the-hottest-craft-cocktails-are-now-using-brandy cool.
We are MORE than happy to help support local distilleries and bring brandy back into the limelight. No need to ask us twice.
