Rum is the world’s most diverse, most misunderstood, and most underappreciated spirit. This isn’t a beginner class – it’s for folks who already know a thing or two and are ready to go deeper. Join Bryan Inman, The Rum Champion, as he provides a quick refresher on production, unpacks some surprising rum history, and challenges a few myths along the way. Oh, and we’ll discuss six rums that couldn’t be more different from each other – because if you think all rum tastes the same, you’re in for a ride.
Online Seminar: So You Think You Know Rum?
Thursday, May 15 at 11 AM Pacific / 2 PM Eastern
While others were baking sourdough during the pandemic, Bryan was busy deconstructing tiki cocktails and diving deep into rum. What started as a casual curiosity turned into a full-time obsession. He launched @therumchampion on Instagram in September 2022, and by January 2023, Bryan was hosting rum parties that grew into the Rum Curious Club – now 2,100+ members strong.
He has tasted over 1,500 rums from 78 countries, built a collection of 700+ bottles, and has hosted rum events across California. Since May 2024, Bryan has also had the privilege of bartending at The Lucky Tiki, where he gets to pour and preach rum every night.
Bryan is a self-described rum-obsessed lunatic who turned his passion into a career.
