BevFluence® is coming to Chicago this February! We’ll start off the new year with a week of imbibing experiences. From February 4th through the 8th the BevFluence team will be participating at CiderCon and attending various cider related events in Chicago. Then on Monday February 10th we will kickoff three days of programs consisting of tasting and education with Cambio Tequila and BevFluence’s Chandler Tomayko, Aaron Knoll, Justin Koury, and Todd Godbout. The program also includes a day at our content studio, where media has the opportunity to collaborate and create stunning evergreen content as a community. We’ll round out the week with several bartender labs in which bartenders, other industry professionals, and media cut loose and get creative with your spirits and a wide range of innovative ingredients.
