Tomorrow, we’re taking an hour to get past the “tequila is tequila” conversation.
Join us at TOPE for an Agave Tasting Event featuring Libélula Tequila and Banhez Mezcal. We’ll taste, talk production, break down flavor, and give agave spirits the respect they deserve—without turning it into a lecture.
If you work behind a bar, sell spirits, or just want to order with a little more confidence than “something smooth,” this is for you. Come curious, ask real questions, and leave with a better palate and better vocabulary.
Tomorrow, July 16
2–3 PM
TOPE PDX RooftOP
15 NW 4th Ave, Portland
One hour. Good bottles. Useful education. See you there.
