Billy Jack Paul is a Berkshire native who has been bartending for 19 years all over Berkshire County and North Carolina, as well as some guest appearances in Boston, NYC, and Oaxaca, México. He is the bartender/owner of MoonCloud in Great Barrington, MA. With a great passion for the true roots of the industry, Billy Jack has studied the history and geography, as well as the botanical and medicinal origins, of spirits and cocktails.  In addition to sharing the great stories of classic cocktails, he enjoys telling many of his own stories through dynamic themes and historical and/or literary references that act as “characters” in any given drink. “A cocktail is worth a thousand words,” he says, as he develops flavors and layers within each sip.
