Mezcal is the embodiment of Mexico. More than just a beverage, it represents more than 500 years of history and culture. But mezcal is the present. It has enjoyed an enormous resurgence in Mexico and the United States exactly because it’s tied so tightly to Mexico’s traditions. Mezcal’s story isn’t just about alcohol, each bottle contains a piece of Mexican culture, and is a living link to history, tradition, art, and music – life and death all in a bottle.
Mezcal: Mexico in a Bottle is our grand tasting and the largest of its kind in the United States. This year it is on November 11th from 3-7PM, at PublicWorksSF. It’s our fifth anniversary – we will feature more than 100 mezcals and agave spirits, incredible bites from local restaurants, cocktails from the creative stew of Bay Area bartenders, encounters with incredible personalities in the mezcal world, a tiendita, and much more. Get your tickets today!
Please note that this is a 21 and over event.
