Steve Beam of Limestone Branch. Yup, Beam, as in Jim ‘Beam’. Steve is one of the hardest working guys I know. With all of his legacy and background, he is incredibly humble, and rolls up his sleeves on EVERY activity. From working the stills, to ringing up a t-shirt, to conducting a store tasting on the weekend, Steve does it all. He is a reminder to me just how hard our clients work, and how all of us at TBSG owe it to them to work just as hard. – Scott Schiller
Craft Distilling is a great industry, with great people. What we really enjoy is helping out with the birth of so many new companies and brands, all of which will be special in some way. Getting to share the enthusiasm of fathers and sons, husbands and wives, and entrepreneurs, all dreaming about filling that first barrel, or reviving their 5th generation family brand, is what it’s all about. It is a privilege to get to be a part of our customers’ dreams. – Rob Sherman
