Shownotes

On Today's Episode: Jeff Quint is the founder and owner of Cedar Ridge Distillery, the award-winning distillery that was the first to open in Iowa since Prohibition and is currently home to the number one-selling bourbon in Iowa for two years straight. 

Jeff shares how his father influenced and inspired his passion for brewing wine and spirits, why he felt it was time for Iowa (the number one corn-producing state) to produce its own bourbon, and what it was like for him to take the leap and leave his job as a Chief Financial Officer to start Cedar Ridge. He also explores how having the local community embrace their brand early on impacted their growth, why his background as a Certified Public Accountant was beneficial to Cedar Ridge’s success, and what he believes is in the future for both Cedar Ridge and the adult beverage industry.
