As co-founders of London Cocktail Week, Hannah Sharman-Cox, and Siobhan Payne are familiar with the growing complexity of the bar world. Early next year, Sharman-Cox and Payne (along with co-founder Dan Dove) will introduce The Pinnacle Guide, a bar evaluation and ranking system that’s been compared to the Michelin Guide in the culinary world. For this episode, we talk with Pinnacle’s three co-founders about the genesis of the project, how this effort will unfold, and what this bar recognition system will mean for curious consumers.
