Friday opens with music and food trucks. Saturday brings the pancake breakfast, distillery tours, a Curated Barrel tasting from 3:00–5:00 PM, and another night of music. Sunday winds down with good company before rigs head home.

Curated Barrel tasting — Saturday, August 8, 3:00–5:00 PM. Taste six barrels at barrel strength with a lively discussion around whiskey tasting — figuring out the mashbill, the proof, and the age. It is a lot of fun, and our curator is a highly regarded whiskey guide. At the end of the event, participants can buy bottles of the whiskeys that spoke to them. $45 per person — reasonable for a two-hour event with six ½-ounce pours at barrel strength.

$210 per coach covers craft tasting ($90), tour ($20), breakfast ($30), and a gift card ($70). We are still trying to get a charity for breakfast.
