“Through that bloomed this idea that, ‘Well hell, we did it with D20.’ "
“Chrissy has been very supportive and helpful in getting me to embrace this spirit of not drinking (alcohol),” Sparks said. The concept for Bitter Blossom then came about “overnight,” he said. With encouragement from his wife, he began studying and analyzing tea the same way he would for alcoholic beverages, in addition to drinking it for his health. “I spent the last 15 years developing my palate, and using my palate successfully to build up businesses and eventually create D20, and now I’m stuck not being able to do what I’ve trained myself to do,” he said. While D20 remained successful, it halted his ability to participate in activities he previously enjoyed. Then, in December 2022, Sparks suffered an illness that resulted in him being unable to drink alcohol. The universe definitely threw a bunch of roadblocks there.” “We opened in March 2020, so that did us no favors,” Sparks said. However, the expansion was quickly done in by the pandemic, and the space has since been used for offices and storage, Sparks said. The couple purchased the storefront that will be Bitter Blossom in 2019, intending to turn it into a retail gaming store with a focus on local game designers. The board game-themed bar offers hundreds of card games, board games, and tabletop RPGs as well as a wide selection of cocktails, mocktails, craft beers and ciders. Andrew and Chrissy have run D20 in Kettering since opening its doors in December 2016.
