What is Prohibitchin’?

Prohibitchin’ seeks to amplify the voices of people working in and around beer, spirits, wine, cider, and other beverage alcohol segments who may not get the recognition they deserve. By highlighting a diverse array of voices with a range of experiences and occupying varying roles within their industries, Prohibitchin’ hopes to expand the preconceived notion of who works in, enjoys, and moves hospitality forward.
