Bartender Journey - Cocktails. Spirits. Bartending Culture. Libations For Your Ears.

Bar Institute NYC We had the very exciting Bar Institute event here in NY this week. It's the Bartender Journey Podcast number 189!  Listen with the audio player on this page, or subscribe on iTunes,  Android or Stitcher Radio. On Monday before Bar Institute, I attended Diageo World Class Labs. This is an awesome opportunity. Diageo World Class is one of the top 2 or 3 cocktail competitions in the world. Competitions like this can literally change your life. To enter the competition you have to be a USBG member, in the US anyway. But through World Class you can get a free 30 day USBG membership which allows you to get your application in. If you decide to keep your USBG membership after that, its only $125/year, which is a real bargain, but that’s a subject for another day. To enter the World Class competition you have to take at least one World Class Lab class, or you can do it online, but the live events are awesome (and free). They travel to different cities doing the class and I really encourage you
