Thanks for Watching! ******************** Follow me on your favorite Social Media Platforms: https://linktr.ee/BeerWineandSpirits ******************** Welcome to the official YouTube Channel of Jeff Bradford My passion for beer, wine, and spirits ignited an urge to investigate the stories behind the labels. So, in 2018, I sold everything I owned to travel the world. My objective: to learn the secrets of brewers, winemakers, and distillers. From Switzerland to Jalisco, I set out to determine why their process yields extraordinary results. With each stop on the map, I reveal time-honored traditions, cultural influences, and industry practices that help you discover the soul of these incredible products. As a former member of the US military, I learn by doing. You’ll see me harvesting grapes in South Africa, pouring beer at Oktoberfest, and chopping agave in Tequila. My channel is dedicated to the passionate, hardworking people who make the beverages associated with our favorite celebrations, special events and amazing moments with those we love. Join me as I find the next fascinating story about your favorite Beer, Wine, and Spirits.
