The First 50 of Monday Night Single Malt Whiskey, Signed

Monday, May 15 | 5-8pm | ASW Distillery 

Atlanta’s first whiskey collaboration is here, and you could be the proud owner of your very own badger-emblazoned, signed bottle of Monday Night Scottish-Style Single Malt Whiskey. The child of Monday Night’s brewmaster Adam Bishop and ASW Distillery’s head distiller Justin Manglitz, this special release single malt is the color of honey, with flavor notes reminiscent of almond, cookie dough and vanilla, finished with cherry, tobacco and smoke. Talk about a ride on the flavor train!

Tickets go for $62 and include three pours of any ASW Distillery liquor, a tour of the Fiddler Bourbon & Resurgens Rye distillery tour and a bottle of this limited edition whiskey. But only the first 50 bottles will be signed, so grab your tickets and get to the door early to grab yourself a bottle of Atlanta’s most coveted whiskey.

Tickets are available here.

ATL Margarita & Taco Fest

Saturday, May 20 | 11am | Grant Park

What a wonderful world we live in, where margarita and taco battles can be fought and won right in the heart of our city. On Saturday, May 20th, Tortillas la Banderita is sponsoring the first ever margarita-and-taco-off featuring dozens of taco vendors and 10 margarita bars – all vying for the #1 spot in your – and Atlanta’s – heart. Vendors include such renowned favorites as Tin Lizzy’s, El Azteca, Mezcalito’s, Matador, On the Border, The Chef’s Table, Tex’s Tacos, The Loaded Taco, Let’s Taco ‘Bout It and El Preferido…to name just a few. Eat as many tacos as you can, taste as many margaritas as possible and text an 800-number with your vote before you leave.

The event will also feature a maker’s market, filled with local arts & crafts, live music and a kid’s zone with bouncy houses and other activities for children…and those who imbibe on a few too many margaritas. Kidding, the ounce houses are definitely not for adults, tipsy or not.

Get yourself down to Grant Park on Saturday, May 20th and feast on the city’s best tacos and margaritas. Entry is free!
