Last week I had the opportunity to take a tour of Fair Game Beverage Company and talk with Chris Jude, the head distiller.  I’ve been interested in talking to Chris for a while now.   I attended the Fair Game Beverage Company circus-themed grand opening last summer and it was such a good time! I knew I had to meet the minds behind Fair Game and get a better sense of what’s going on in their distillery.   Fair Game Beverage Company is having a spirits release this weekend, Saturday March 28th so it seemed like a great time to visit and learn a bit more about Fair Game Beverage Company.

Can you use a spatula? Do you know how to shake a salt shaker? Sweeeeet! That means you can also impress your family with this super tasty take on breakfast.
