My guest today is Roy Milner, the Chief Fermentation Officer at Blackberry Farm Brewery & Founding Partner of Art of Alchemy Blended Spirits.
Roy began exploring his passion for great beer in Knoxville, TN as a home brewer while attending the University of Tennessee. With more than 20 years in and around the craft brewing industry, he’s worked as a brewer with multiple breweries and held several Sales and Marketing positions with beer and beverage companies throughout the US.. And in 2011, Roy co-founded Blackberry Farm Brewery in Maryville, TN, just outside Knoxville.
Over a decade later, Roy, along with three partners and friends, set out to establish a spirit brand created “by friends, for friends”.
In 2022, Art of Alchemy Blended Spirits was born from a passion for creating products, sharing stories, and collaborating with other makers. Drawing from a long list of friends who just happen to be some of the most influential minds, brands, and masters in the world of whiskey, AoA produces unique blends that celebrate community and connectivity, creating common ground and shared experiences.
