Each "meeting" is OPEN TO THE PUBLIC and FREE. They do not require any actual membership
only an interest in learning more about the drinks we drink,developing your palate and meeting some really cool people. How does it work? Each Thursday, a different beverage industry Guest
Speaker will be on hand to pour tastings, and discuss the products they are featuring. They may be representing a brand portfolio or an entire category. They may be writers, distillers, brewers, bartenders or celebrities. The one thing they'll have in common is that they know what they are talking about and they are on hand to share it. The setting is casual and personal. Each week our Guest Speaker will simply mix and mingle for a couple of hours and answer all of your questions.
Behind the stick, we'll be pouring a featured cocktail or two as well as flights and classics that fit the day's focus.
This weekly event tends to draw some of San Francisco's finest bartenders and
cocktail afficionados, so you can continue drinking some of the city's tastiest, award-winning cocktails with some of the San Francisco's best cocktailians.
