Taste the Spirit of the West
with Distillery 291
founder Michael Myers
Friday, August 8, 5-7pm
complimentary

Join us for an evening with Michael Myers, the visionary behind Distillery 291 — a grain-to-glass distillery crafting unapologetically bold whiskey in the shadow of Pikes Peak.

Built from scratch in Colorado Springs, Distillery 291 is known for its untamed flavor, rugged spirit, and relentless pursuit of character. One of its most defining features? A one-of-a-kind finishing technique using hand-charred Colorado aspen staves — a nod to place, tradition, and bold innovation. This is whiskey that doesn’t whisper. It’s rugged, refined, and rebellious—just like Colorado.

Michael will be pouring and speaking on four of his signature expressions:

Small Batch Bourbon – big oak, vanilla, and smoke; no apologies

Small Batch Rye – punchy, peppery, and persistently smooth

The Decc – a rebellious whiskey liqueur with clove and orange

Bad Guy – a wheated bourbon that’s as bold as its name

Whether you’re a longtime whiskey drinker or whiskey-curious, this is a rare chance to meet the maker, hear the stories, and taste the spirit that’s redefining Rocky Mountain whiskey.
