Industry Experts Join the Staff
Big Thirst is expanding its talented team of beverage industry experts, and it has added two specialists to provide the right solutions for craft spirits brands to connect with consumers.

Experienced distiller and production manager, Jake Holshue joined the Big Thirst consulting team to advise clients on spirits production and efficiency optimization. He is a nationally recognized leader in the spirits industry and will help Big Thirst clients with product development, production processes, efficiency, forecasting, and safety program development and training. His hands-on approach to distillation consulting will improve clients' distillery operations with a range of services from recipe formulation to production scheduling. Holshue has managed brewing and distilling production and blending for well-known distilleries from coast to coast as well as internationally. Holshue is serving his second term on the board of directors for the American Craft Spirits Association where he chairs the Mentorship Committee, the Consumer-Facing Committee, the Education Committee, and serves on the Selection Committee for the STEPUP Foundation. He attended Montana State University Billings.

Jake Barnett joined Big Thirst as a Business Development Specialist responsible for making it easier for distilleries and spirits brands to join the e-commerce platform. Barnett's knowledge of the beverage industry has been refined while working in sales and marketing for Restless Spirits Distilling, Co., a regional distillery to running a small beer and spirits brokerage, as a Co-Founder of Old Fashioned Beverage, and most recently as an account executive for Provi, an alcohol marketplace for bars and restaurants. His proudest professional accomplishment was developing the recipes for an RTD canned cocktail project. Barnett, a resident of Kansas City, enjoys playing tennis, shooting pool, and exploring new bars and restaurants. Jake attended Missouri State University.
