Next up, meet another voice taking the stage at the 2026 World Class US Competition. Adam “George” Fournier brings craft, curiosity, and a lot of personality to the stage as a host at .
With 15+ years behind the bar, he’s built and led some of LA’s most respected beverage programs, earned the title of 2021 World Class US Bartender of the Year, and co-founded a consulting collective focused on hospitality, beverage, and education. His work spans everything from cocktail innovation to non-alcoholic programs, always rooted in learning and sharing the craft.
