Sessions cover: The Future of Mixed Drinks; The Science of Flavour; Sustainability: Cut The Crap
Bacardi Brown Forman Brands’ (BBFB) training and education roadshow, Jigger Beaker Glass, has begun a tour of the UK, with sessions taking place throughout the country during 2018 and into 2019. The initiative is formed around three key areas of learning (Jigger – Skills; Beaker – Innovation; Glass – Drinks), and each session is led by members of the BBFB advocacy team and various industry luminaries and subject experts. Within this three-aspect framework, the Jigger Beaker Glass sessions cover three topics:
