Tavour’s Megan Birch On How & Why Tavour Has Great Gift Ideas For Father’s Day 2019
Washington State-based Tavour is a company that tries thousands of beers from small craft breweries, ultimately bringing you the gems you can’t get at the store. In turn, Tavour works directly with hundreds of independent breweries to curate craft beer gift boxes with one-of-a-kind selections. In turn with selections as diverse as the Vanilla Ice Cream Stout from Wild Leap Brew Co. in Georgia and the Juicy IPA from WeldWerks Brewing in Colorado, a Tavour purchase may be ideal for a Father’s Day gift offering. Or really any sort of gift-giving opportunity you may come across.
On behalf of The Hype, I had the pleasure of doing Q&A with Megan Birch, Marketing Manager for Tavour, about the company and its day-to-day existence as a beer influencer. More on all things Tavour-related can be found online by visiting its official website at www.tavour.com.
