EMPLOYEE SPOTLIGHT – Taylor Duttko

Meet Taylor, our graphics coordinator. Taylor has only been with BDI 9 short months but has been widely excepted with her infectious personality. She came to us from the restaurant industry and looking for a change. Taylor went to the University of Akron and focused on studio art and graphic design. She’s also previously worked in home decor. Taylor is always happy and willing to learn new things at BDI. All flavors and styles of Truly are Taylor’s go-to when she’s out and about. In her spare time, Taylor is working on rehabbing her new house, horseback riding and playing with her dog Mischa.

Thanks for all you do Taylor

THE BREW KETTLE

Brew Kettle’s Newest Seasonal

OH YOU-OH YEAH
IMPERIAL STOUT 11.5% ABV

We are super excited to announce the release of our latest collaboration this time an 11.5% imperial stout brewed with @fiftywestbrew. This brew is our attempt to recreate the Infamous Hot Nut from Tony’s Bar in Athens Ohio. We infused with this big bold stout with Hazelnuts from Heggy’s Nut Shop and a unique blend of Hoof Hearted Coffee. We hope the end result will remind everyone of the beauty of the Hot Nut and of a simpler time during their college experience!
