Voyage Denver Interviews Locke + Co’s Rick Talley
Our very own Rick Talley recently sat down with Voyage Denver to discuss all things Locke + Co (and more).

We’re a humble bunch, but we’ll occasionally sit down for a drink and a chat with respected local media outlets who share our passion for whiskey and community.
And that’s precisely what Locke + Co co-founder Rick Talley recently did with Voyage Denver.
So visit their site to learn about Rick’s journey from brewing beer in a Littleton, Colorado garage as a teen to producing Colorado’s finest aspen-aged rye whiskey.
And if you’re a budding entrepreneur (we know many of you are), you might also find some inspiration to help you keep fighting the good fight.
So, what are you waiting for?
