How did Michele Hobbs go from selling dog food to launching a distillery?The Prospect Hill entrepreneur talks about her 26-year journey of investing in Over-the-Rhine businesses on The Enquirer's "That's So Cincinnati" podcast. After years of running Pet Wants at Findlay Market, Hobbs opened Knox Joseph Distillery at OTR StillHouse (2017 Branch Street) in December. She wanted to focus on building a distillery as a way to complement rather than compete with the many breweries, bars and restaurants that have opened amid OTR's 21st century renaissance. Knox Joseph, named after one of Hobbs' children, features a large indoor/outdoor space for drinking, dining and concerts.  Listen to "That's So Cincinnati" for free on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeart Media and other podcast platforms.
