"Competition medals don't mean anything; everyone has medals." That's a common sentiment we often hear. Most of the time, it's true. Many competitions give distinctions to whoever pays, with judging criteria that don't solely focus on taste. However, the San Francisco World Spirits Competition appears to be different. It is a blind competition where only taste matters, judged by an extraordinary panel of experts. "Many consider a Double Gold at San Francisco to be the highest medal one can receive in the spirits world, but there’s something even more prestigious: a Platinum Medal." We are proud that our Rum 0.0% has been awarded Double Gold every year since its creation and is now the first non-alcoholic spirit to receive the Platinum Medal. Our dedication to crafting the finest non-alcoholic spirits from real spirits is paying off, and we couldn't be prouder.Check out the full list of platinum medal winners at SFWSC here https://lnkd.in/dkx7AxjT #SFWSC #Competition #PlatinumMedal #DoubleGold #NoAlcohol #AlcoholFree #NonAlcoholicSpirits San Francisco World Spirits Competition The Tasting Alliance

Ahoi! 🚢🌊🐟⚓️ While I was just testing Ahoi by Steffen Henssler in #Wendtorf Marina ⛵️🚤, there are the news that several #restaurants of GO by Steffen Henssler declared bankruptcy! Not sure if it is the local #franchisee / management or location, but it shows that it not that easy even if you have a known name & #brand. Anybody know more?
