Dissenting Spirits
ABOUT US
Developing a craft distillery takes multiple facets of skills and trades, including electrical, plumbing, distilling, accounting, and bartending. You can hire different people to handle all of these tasks, but if they don't understand the end goal, and you don't understand their trade, you might be left in the lurch. As spirits professionals with diverse backgrounds, we bring years of experience in these fields to meet our clients' needs. Our objective is to educate and empower owners and operators to streamline their operations, develop sustainable business plans, and create award-winning spirits. We look forward to working with you.
