USBG Happenings
Rhode Island Update:
I was very proud to attend a formative meeting of the Rhode Island chapter of the United States Bartenders' Guild this week. The turn-out was enormous, and the enthusiasm amongst Ocean State bartenders was tremendous.
Good luck, USBGRI - your state is filled with terrific drinks, dining, and some of the best bartenders in the country!
