NW Spirits and Mixology Show to Debut in Portland

Oregon’s first craft spirits and mixology specific trade show, The NW Spirits and Mixology Show, is scheduled for Mon., July 26, at the Jupiter Hotel.

The show gives Oregon’s growing spirits industry professionals a place to showcase their products, and offers cocktail enthusiasts a chance to see and taste some of today’s modern trends emerging from the new world of mixology.

“With Oregon becoming world-renowned for our micro-distilleries, and mixologists coming from all over the country to be on the cutting edge of culinary and cocktail culture, this is the right time to be hosting a premier Spirits and Mixology Show in one of the hippest cities in the country.” Said Co-Producer and Founder of the NW Spirits and Mixology Show, Kelly Kerbs of Drink Think.

Starting at 4pm some of the Northwest’s best mix-masters will be sharing several new innovations that are helping to make Oregon’s burgeoning beverage industry one of the best in the nation. Suppliers will also be on hand to showcase their newest products, services, ideas and trends. There will be plenty of sampling and new items to try, from commonly recognized brands to what’s hot in the industry now.

We suspect registration will book up quickly for this event, especially at the minimal cost of $10 per ticket!
