DIS 201 DISTILLERY OPERATIONS & MANAGEMENT 5.0 Credit(s)

In order to run a successful business, distillery owners are required to have in-depth knowledge of dozens of different and involved subject matters. This course is designed to touch on as many of those topics as possible, including brand development, on site distilling vs sourcing product, construction/buildout, safety and OSHA compliance, and even day to day operations such as filing taxes, state and federal guidelines about serving products, and point of sale operations- just to name a few. Given the wide variety of topics, many guest speakers from different distilleries and production companies and related industries are brought in to discuss their experiences and advice for students in their journey to create their own distilleries. Lastly, this class is meant to be tailored as closely as possible to the needs of the students and their ultimate goals for their roles in the distilling industry.
