Brian Beyke

Brian Beyke is a photographer from Louisville, KY with an obsession for specialty coffee, craft chocolate, complex cocktails and well-aged whiskies.

Initially self taught in techniques of manual brew and espresso, as well as being a meticulous home brewer as seen on social media and through the I Brew My Own Coffee Podcast, he has worked in the coffee industry professionally for just under four years now. This has led to numerous relationships in the coffee industry from roasters to producers to farmers and cafes regionally and around the world. He has since learned similar trends in the chocolate industry, as can be heard on the Unwrapped Podcast, and most recently in the bourbon industry while living back in his home state of Kentucky. Building partnerships with Willett distillery from helping them with their coffee bar to coffee-focused cocktails both in competition and on bar for Quills Coffee, this has developed a palate and passion for nuances in taste, brands, and the world of whiskey.

Brian is enthusiastic and personable, with an eye for capturing candid moments, but also extends to still product photography as well as videography.
