THE FOUNDERS

Eric Blumenfeld, cofounder and CEO of Beerspoke Travel, hates when people refer to themselves in the third person. So I’ll stop. I’ve loved craft beer culture since the early 2000s, when my closest friends and I decided it was time to leave behind the watery macrobrews of our college lives. After receiving my Bachelors Degree from Duke University, I embarked on a successful multiple industry marketing and sales career at companies including ESPN, A+E Networks and Salesforce. In 2015, I received my MBA in Entrepreneurship and Marketing from Baruch College’s Zicklin School of Business. I founded Beerspoke Travel to provide for an underserved market very close to my heart. My beer geekdom, combined with my travel geekdom, has taken me to beer cultures around the US and the world. While I’ve loved these experiences, I always had to plan it myself and never really got the whole behind-the-scenes piece. But I’d like you to have it all. And so here we are!

Fred Blumenfeld looks a lot like me and is Beerspoke Travel's cofounder. He is also the founder and President of Travel Unlimited, which has been operating tours of exceptional quality, both domestic and abroad, since 1973. Fred has served on the Travel Agent Advisory Board for the Sonesta hotel chain and Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines. He is recognized as a Certified Switzerland Specialist by Switzerland Tourism. Historically more of a wine guy, Fred is finding his beer palate through the exhaustive craft beer drinking "research" he and Eric are forced to undertake in service of the company. That's dedication, folks.

All tours are operated by Travel Unlimited. As a member of the National Tour Association and the American Society of Travel Agents, Travel Unlimited has been operating tours of exceptional quality for over 45 years.

 
 

“I've been to quite a few breweries, so I wasn't expecting to learn as much as I did, and while having so much fun. I went in loving beer and came out loving beer even more.”
