Atlas Oyster House is proud to present the next installment of Atlas Beverage Classes (A.B.C.). This semester we will be focusing on breweries, wineries and distilleries, discovering what is going on in the beverage world. In addition to the beverage tastings, we will feature small plates paired with each beverage, as prepared by Executive Chef, Jason Hughes.
A.B.C. will be held outside, on the Harbor View Deck, the first Thursday of the month (January through June) and will feature a local presenter discussing the highlighted beverages. Classes will consist of four tastings of beverages with four small plates to complement each tasting. Classes will cover the basics as well as specific information regarding the history of the brewery/winery/distillery and their beers, wines, or spirits. All beverages will be announced two weeks prior to the event.
There are two classes every month, each an hour and a half long. The first class begins promptly at 5:00 p.m. with the second class beginning at 7:00 p.m. Class cost is $30 per person (plus tax and gratuity), per class, which gets each participant one tasting of each of the featured beverages. In addition, throughout the class, participants should be prepared for “pop quizzes,” where we will be giving away T-shirts, beer glassware, gift certificates and more. Seating is limited, reservations are required; be sure to make yours by emailing taylor@goodgrits.com or calling 850-287-0200. The featured themes for each class are as follows:
January 2: Jack Daniels Bonded Series
Warm up with us with the new Bonded Series from Jack Daniel’s! This range of bottles adhere to the stipulations of the 1897 Bottled in Bond Act, which was introduced three decades after the distillery was founded to give consumers certainty in what they were buying. The Act dictates that, to be considered Bonded, the spirit has to be distilled by a single distiller in a single season, be matured in wood, be matured in a bonded warehouse for at least four years and be bottled at 100 proof. Discover and celebrate the innovation and craftsmanship of Jack Daniels while giving a nod to history!
