Big Ooga First Tuesday Meeting – for small business owners and accomplished professionals
The Entrepreneur’s Journey – Building the First Craft Distillery in Chicago Since Prohibition and the Grit to Make it Happen
Join us for an inspired evening of courage, best practices and entrepreneurship on what it takes to build and run the first Chicago distillery since Prohibition. Featuring Co-founder Sonat Birnecker, we will be treated to her story and a tasting of organic five single-grain white whiskeys, aged whiskey, brandies, six liqueurs: Chrysanthemum Honey, Coffee, Ginger, Jasmine, Orange Blossom, and Rose Hip and vodka.
The program will include open networking, a small group breakout session to address opportunities to learn, share, grow and become more connected and successful.
A drawing will be held to win an exquisite handcrafted bracelet by jewelry designer Sue Rosengard.

“I learned so much from last night’s event – I mean my own business is evolving wildly – so I really appreciate getting some time out to hear how other people are dealing with things. You have done something very unique….you have brought together a bunch of really talented people who don’t mind sharing what they know. I used to belong to several industry networking groups, but yours is by far the best group I have ever been associated with. “ – Rob – serving global corporations
