The 5th Annual Great American Distillers Festival
On October 24-25, over 50 craft spirits will descend on the city of Portland, Oregon, and be poured at the 5th Annual Great American Distillers Festival at the Bossanova Ballroom. The Festival is a gathering of craft distilleries who come to share their products, their passion, and their expertise in handcrafting spirits.
Craft spirits distillers from coast to coast will be attending, including Tuthilltown Whiskey from New York, Roughstock Distillery in Montana, and House Spirits in Portland. Festival attendees will be able to meet the distillers, taste their hand crafted spirits, and purchase signature cocktails made from the participating distilleries.
The craft spirits will also be used in the 3rd Annual Mixmaster Mixology Competition presented by the Oregon Bartenders Guild and Imbibe Magazine. Twenty of the top bartenders from Oregon and Washington will go head to head this year, competing for a $1000 prize.
This year’s festival features an opening presentation by Bill Owens, President of the American Distillers Institute, Spirits Seminars including the history of classic cocktails, history of the Tiki in Portland and a presentation by San Francisco Mixologist Neyah White on the future relationship between spirits and mixologists.
