Pittsburgh Born, Pittsburgh Bred

Pittsburgh companies for more than 30 years.
He conceived the idea of Pittsburgh Born, Pittsburgh Bred while serving
as Vice President of the Greater Pittsburgh Chamber of Commerce. About that time, he was also thinking of
making vodka, especially from Pennsylvania-grown potatoes. In 2008, both came to life. To date, Pittsburgh Born, Pittsburgh Bred has
sold some 5,000-plus copies, and Boyd & Blair Potato Vodka is now the #5
best-selling super premium vodka in Pennsylvania.
