Kevin Ford Named New Realm Brewing & Distilling Company’s Master Distiller
Friday, September 16th, 2022
New Realm Brewing & Distilling Co. is excited to announce Kevin Ford has been selected as their new Master Distiller.
As the new Master Distiller for New Realm Brewing & Distilling, Ford is primarily responsible for overseeing all production and development of the company’s best selling Spirits. Ford’s passion for distilling dates all the way back to age 15, when he started experimenting making alcohol in upstate New York as a hobby. Prior to moving to Savannah, Ford worked as head distiller for Buffalo Distilling Company in New York, spending his spare time teaching as a professor of brewing and distilling sciences at Trocaire College.
When asked what Ford loves about his job, the overwhelming passion he has for his craft comes through in spades.
“I learned to distill by making whiskey, and I would often say that whiskey isn’t a craft, but a discipline… almost a religion. Whiskey humbles you and reminds you of the basic values of life – patience & fortitude conquer all, good things take time, some things can’t be faked, and at the end of the day people are the most important ingredient,” said Ford.
