A popular whiskey tasting event is saving a glass for a visit to San Antonio. Whiskey Riot will be in town Saturday, May 16, with way more whiskies than one person could hope to drink, helping whiskey-lovers stay on top of the evolving market and their tastes.Whiskey Riot is traveling with more than 150 whiskies from all over the world, including Alamo City and the rest of Texas. Some of the brand partners based in or near San Antonio include Austin Craft Spirits Company, Milam Greene, and Still Austin from the Capital City, Waco’s Balcones Distilling, Hye’s Garrison Brothers, and hometown favorite Devils River.The main offer is samples, which attendees may want to notate on a helpful print-at-home sheet. It includes possible tasting notes to help less seasoned tasters find their way through the nuanced flavor landscape. Plus, distillers attending on the vendor side may be available to offer some tasting tips.Hopefully, by paying for a ticket rather than for the pour, attendees will feel more adventurous and discover a new favorite spirit. For those who prefer a gentler taste, there will also be creative cocktails to try.Early bird tickets are available now through February 10 (or until they sell out) at tixr.com. A general admission ticket ($91.62) includes tastings and a branded glass to take home. Discounts are available for transactions with more than one ticket. Early entry tickets (113.12) include the same things plus an exclusive tasting hour before crowds arrive, premium access to bars, special access to limited edition and rare whiskies, and included cocktails.Whiskey Riot takes place from 3-7 pm at Freeman Expo Hall Two (3201 E Houston St.). All attendees must be at least 21 years old. Whiskey Riot will also host events in Austin on April 35, Dallas on March 14, Houston on March 28, and Fort Worth on May 30. ...read more read less
