Kimberly Hall's appreciation of spirits and a great cocktail escalated during the pandemic. The free time to explore new brands and ingredients kicked off a whole new journey that even she didn't see coming. After more than 20 years in communications on campaigns and advocacy, a spirits business was not top of her list possible career paths. But after experiencing the challenges in being able to access and purchase Black-owned spirit brands with confidence she started Sip+Tipple, the membership club for Black-owned spirit enthusiasts. Sip+Tipple is a community of members interested in exploring flavor profiles – understanding what they like and why – and want an easy and convenient to find and purchase Black-owned brands.
