Drink for a Cause: $10 Tie Sale @DuNordCS

When local bars/tap rooms/cocktail rooms team up with good causes, everyone wins. The establishment gets business, an organization makes some needed funds, and you get to tell your boss you were at a fundraiser (which sounds way better than “I was at the bar all night!).

This particular event has the added benefit of adding a bit of flair to your wardrobe! The $10 Tie Sale is an event to raise money for the GLBT Host Home Program. Over one hundred ties have been donated, vintage and new, and all the money goes directly to the Host Home program. While you’re shopping, you can enjoy one of the many DuNord cocktails, including a special drink just for this event.

Tuesday, October 13th | 7pm-9pm | DuNord Craft Spirits, 2610 E 32nd St, Minneapolis

“Know Your Spirits” @ElevenWells

Local distillery 11 Wells hasn’t opened their cocktail room yet but it sounds like it should be coming very soon (and now with a restaurant as well!). In the mean time, they have been opening their doors from time to time for tours and samples.

One such time is coming up next weekend for the St. Paul Art Crawl from October 9th-11th. Browse the work of local artists while enjoying spirit samples in the historic Hamm’s Brewery. To sweeten the already great deal, 11 Wells will be hosting a series of FREE classes called “Know Your Spirits.” This sounds like a GREAT opportunity to both drink and learn. And for free!

I’ll be there at 1pm on Saturday, see you there?
