SUMMARY:Craft Beverage QA/QC: Best Practices for Safeguarding Product Quality
DESCRIPTION:  \nThere are many reasons for a craft beverage producer to invest in quality – catering to a more demanding consumer base\, staking out a competitive edge\, preparing for more distant distribution – but determining how to implement QA/QC can be difficult.  In this webinar\, Virginia SBDC Craft Beverage Assistance Manager Chris Van Orden will speak with Audrey Skinner\, Gastronomical Chemist and Founder of Imbibe Solutions\, about the steps that planned\, new\, and growing beverage producers can take to safeguard quality\, improve product stability\, and lengthen shelf-life. \nWebinar presented by The Virginia SBDC Craft Beverage Assistance (CBA) program. Visit the CBA program page for more information. \n\nAudrey Skinner is a Gastronomical Chemist and Founder of Imbibe Solutions\, an independent laboratory that works with craft alcohol businesses to supplement and enrich their quality control programs. She has helped many brewers\, winemakers\, and other craft-fermenters improve processes\, ensure product stability and cleanliness\, expand shelf-life\, and enhance overall product quality. Her goal is to provide small-scale craftsmen with beneficial\, quantifiable data so they can be competitive in the growing marketplace. \nREGISTER\nA confirmation email with the Zoom login information will be sent after registration\, please be on the lookout for it.

He has helped launch local and regional brands\, and develops and executes communications plans for service and retail businesses. His work improves online customer engagement\, business owner management of their communications platforms\, and drives eCommerce.\n\n\n  \n \nTom Kelly\, CV SBDC Advisor\,\nTom is a versatile\, collaborative and customer-focused business leader with twenty years of cross-functional experience in both corporate and small business environments.  Throughout his career he has focused on ensuring that how is just as important as what gets delivered for any organization. Tom made a conscious decision to leave his corporate career in 2018 in order to launch his own small business.  Eager to follow his passion for organic food and do something much more hands-on\, he launched Rise Bakehouse\, an organic sourdough bakery from his home in California.  He quickly built a strong consumer and wholesale customer base and learned all the different aspects of small business ownership in addition to sourdough baking. As the pandemic was gaining strength in 2019\, Tom and his family made an adventurous move from California to the East Coast via a ten-month RV trip across the country.  During their time on the road\, he and his wife assumed the role of co-teacher to their two children while traveling 21\,000 miles across 23 states\, exploring 16 national and 14 state parks.  They found their way to Charlottesville\, VA and chose it as their new home. Tom is now focused on launching his next food business here in Charlottesville and becoming an active member of the thriving small business community in central Virginia.
