2nd Annual ACSA Medal Winners Announced

On Sunday night of the 2nd Annual ACSA Convention and Vendor Trade Show in Austin, Texas, after Tito Beveridge shared the story of his now famous vodka over a catered dinner, the American Craft Spirits Association awarded medals for this year's annual Craft Spirits Competition, then hosted an attendees-only tasting.

I only know this based on what I saw in pictures and some pretty rough faces the following morning, but it looked to me like one hell of a good time.

You can share in this experience by picking up some of these award-winning spirits and hosting a tasting of your own. Best In Class Winners for each category include:
