A look back at 2014…

In this month’s issue we take a look back at 2014 and reflect on all it had to offer. There were some great and not so great things that happened in the world of bartending this past year. Although we can learn from the not so great ones… we are going to focus on some of the positive stuff and showcase it in our Flairbar.com “Best of 2014″ issue.
