David Alan

David Alan loves to challenge people’s perceptions about drinks—both coffee and alcohol-based. He works in both arenas and said, “Although I rarely agree with people entirely on coffee or cocktails, I also rarely meet people who are ambivalent.” Alan enjoys always having something to talk about, since just about everyone has an opinion of some sort on consumption of the liquid form. “For people who are enthusiasts about these same passions, we have an immediate bond,” he said. “I like being in a business where people are almost always happy to see me.” Alan currently owns Tipsy Texans.
