Southern Glazer’s Launches ‘Served Up’ Podcast

Southern Glazer’s Wine & Spirits has launched a new podcast called Served Up — an avenue for the company to share information with customers in the hospitality industry. 

Served Up, available on Apple and Spotify, is designed to be a source for beverage professionals to hear from industry leaders who will share a mix of insights and ideas that help listeners advance their skills, customer experiences, and work environments. A key focus of the one-hour, unscripted series will be to highlight discussions about diversity and inclusion by featuring thought leaders in social justice and industry influencers representing Black, POC and LGBTQ communities.

Bellying up to the bar as hosts of the podcast are Southern Glazer’s employees Bridget Albert and Julie Milroy. Albert is a National Director of Education for Southern Glazer’s, published author of Market-Fresh Mixology and award-winning mixologist with more than 25 years of hospitality industry experience. Milroy is a Vice President of On-Premise for Southern Glazer’s with more than 15 years of experience in the beverage alcohol industry including roles in sales, human resources, marketing and commercial strategy.
