Women and the Drinks Biz
Owning an alcohol business is tough! Let's talk about it! I will take you through my journey of starting South City Ciderworks in SF and delve deep into the details of creating a product, building a market, and educating consumers about cider. But it’s not just my story of being a woman in this male-dominated industry that I want to tell. You’ll hear from other ladies inside and outside the biz as well! Join me on this wild ride whether you're looking to start an alcohol business, work in the alcohol industry, or are just interested in what goes on behind that glass you just ordered at the bar. Slainte!
