Englert Speakeasy:
An Evening of Whiskey Tasting

Hey Whiskey Lovers! Join your host Peter Balestrieri (former sax player for The Violent Femmes and local legend) for an evening of rye whiskey sampling on The Englert Theatre stage. Enter speakeasy style at the Englert alley (on Linn Street between Eble Music and Iowa City Public Library) and party on the stage with Peter and area experts on rye. Moving from station to station, your $25 ticket will get you 4 samples including Templeton Rye, (ri)1, Russell's Reserve Rye, and Bulleit Rye Whiskey. With more drinks available at a cash bar, lounge about sampling and mingling. Peter will perform a speakeasy style saxophone concert at 9:30 helping us all to get in the prohibition era mood. Sponsor John’s Grocery will give each participant their very own John’s Grocery rocks glass to take home and for sampling. Food and whiskey pairings will be provided by Devotay.
