Bex Almqvist: From Lonsdale to Her Own Distillery — A Story of Resilience & Reinvention

In this Athens Bar Show special, LUCA, THE PODCAST sits down with Bex Almqvist — a bartender turned brand ambassador turned distiller, whose journey embodies passion, humility, and the courage to rebuild a dream from scratch.


Bex shares her incredible story:

– Growing up in the UK cocktail scene at The Lonsdale

– The mentors who shaped her path and pushed her forward

– Competing, learning, and becoming a voice in the industry

– Burnout, four years living in the mountains, and finding herself again

– Building a distillery with her own hands, guided by balance, texture, and purpose

– What the industry needs next — and how education must evolve


A story about obsession, resilience, and the beauty of starting over.
