Way back in 1978, craft beer legends Charles and Rose Ann Finkel founded a small importing business and began shipping classic European beers into the US, effectively changing the American craft beer landscape for generations. Nearly five decades later, and they’re still setting the standard.

Aaron Cohn, regional sales manager at Merchant du Vin, joins us this week. After many years in the beer industry working with local breweries, Aaron found his calling slinging the absolute best beer in the world to American consumers looking to deepen their knowledge and appreciation for the classics.

Tune in to hear about Aaron’s history in the beer world, his affinity for the funk, and that one time he ghosted the rep for one of the most sought-after breweries on the planet!
