Ever wonder how bars discover new products? More often than not, owners and/or employees attend trade shows where they meet and greet with liquor distributors and brand ambassadors while sampling the latest beers, wines and spirits.
On Wednesday, Aug. 15, Young?s Market of Hawaii held its Holiday Buying Show 2012 at the Hawaii Convention Center. With operations on Oahu, Maui, Kauai and Hawaii island, they?re one of the main liquor distributors in the state. And thanks to Christa Wittmier, the company?s special events and marketing director, I got an opportunity to explore this year?s show along with hundreds of others from the local food and beverage industry.
With more than 50 tables set up, some hosting multiple brands of alcohol and/or wine, there was plenty of booze to learn about ? and sample. Here are my favorite finds from the show.
Sub-Zero Hangar One:
While the three featured flavors of Hangar One vodka weren't that memorable, getting a sample shot poured by a pretty young lady from a bucket filled with dry ice made it worth a stop at this table. (Star-Advertiser photo by Jason Genegabus)???
