Seattle's a hotbed for the alcohol industry. Seems everywhere you turn there's a craft distillery opening or enjoying success, each with their own distinctive label and product—and usually some seriously devoted fans.

What does it take to build a successful brand in this competitive but rewarding market? And how can a brand grow from there?

Learn from the people behind some of Seattle's unique distilleries in this fascinating panel discussion that's sure to impart lessons that apply to any industry.

Of course, we'll have to taste their products to truly understand!
