A Tribute to Tom Reimer - A True ISBT Legend


When I looked up the meaning of the word "legendary," here’s what I found: “The term is used to describe someone or something that is extremely well-known, admired, or influential, often because of remarkable achievements or contributions.”


Without a doubt, Tom Reimer perfectly embodies the term “Legendary.”


Most ISBT® veteran members know and admire Tom for his incredible contributions and dedication to ISBT® over an astounding 41 years. His journey began in 1983 when he joined ISBT®, and he attended his first annual meeting, now BevTech, in 1984—one year after becoming a member. Since then, he has attended an incredible 36 BevTech meetings.


Tom took on leadership roles within ISBT® as early as 1989, winning the Best TC Award in 1996 and earning a spot on the Board in 1997. He served as President from 2001 to 2002. In 2012, he was honored as the 7th recipient of the Circle of Honor Award, and in 2020, he became the Director of Beverage Institute of ISBT®. Along the way, he developed several symposiums and seminars, turning them into some of the most popular courses at Beverage Institute.


Tom Reimer is a True ISBT® Legend.
