Mike Groener

Austin’s Mike Groener is a spirits writer, panelist, and has been dubbed the “Walter White of Gin”. He created Genius Liquids in 2012 which launched one of the first Texas Gins: Genius Gin (featured in Texas Monthly) and the craft cocktail influenced, Old Highborn Gin in 2015. His deep passion for spirits and education led to studies in Mexico to further research the production of desert spirits. And in 2015, Groener crafted the first Sotol ever produced outside of Mexico. This passion for capturing culture and fostering learning transformed into the industry lauded podcast Show de Vie. With over 350 episodes aired, the world can now peek into the psychology, humor, and production nuances of the world’s best bartenders, mezcaleros, and brand personalities.
