Zach Pohlman is a Certified Cicerone who has worked at both breweries and multi tap venues, with extensive connections in the local brewery community. For the first beer school, Zach brought in four unique and sought after beers from 4 Hands Brewery in St. Louis, as well as head brewer Andy Burgio, Smith said.

Smith added that Trevor Ketteman is an admitted whiskey geek, with extensive knowledge gathered from years in the retail spirits trade. Trevor will be spearheading our Pappy Van Winkle Whiskey tasting, which includes tastings of 10-year-old, 12-year-old, 13-year-old, 15-year-old and 20-year-old Rye whiskeys from the renowned distillery.
