Hospitality 201

“Does It Even Matter” is back! This year Hospitality201 is hosting our epic seminar during Tales of the Cocktail. No RSVP necessary and all are welcome! (Tasting Room wristbands are required) If you’ve always argued that bitters bloom in a batch or that 41 dashes equals an ounce or if you’re convinced that vermouth doesn’t oxidize in a batch, come taste for yourself and decide… Does It Even Matter? We’ve got an epic lineup of guest bartenders, curriculum and sponsors and we can’t wait to see you there! Wednesday, July 26th, Algiers Tasting Room at the Ritz Carlton, 3:30pm - 5:30pm •

Sometimes the question is simple, but the answer is convoluted. The smallest unit of measure can spark a huge debate! Bitters. Dashes. Ounces. 41? 42? Can we call it an even 40 for batch match simplicity? Does it even matter? It’s time you decide for yourself and take a stand!

Join us in Detroit on 10/4! RSVP link in bio.

DETROIT, GET READY!!! “Time not important, only LIFE important!”

One of our favorite lines from a cult classic (The Fifth Element) really gets to the heart of our first section. We’ll be using Time as the measurement for the life of many different things: How do bitters affect the Life of a batched cocktail? Can alcoholic fortification increase the Lifespan of vermouth? How much Time can pass before espresso can no longer breathe Life into a martini? 8 hours? 24 hours? 36 hours? …let’s find out on October 4th!

The batching began on August 4th for this section of tastings. Come taste through Time and answer for yourself: DOES IT EVEN MATTER?

DETROIT!!! We’re coming for you with a SUPER fun and informative event that you’re not going to want to miss! •

Corby's highly acclaimed whisky portfolio and Hospitality 201 bring to you an event designed to answer one, very specific question: DOES IT EVEN MATTER?

We all have supposed rules that have been handed down through generations of Lead Bartenders, Bar Managers, and Beverage Directors about the little things that make or break a cocktail, batch, or event. This class is the epistemology of some of those questions and the cocktail practices we hold so dear. "The bitters will bloom", "Don't batch the vermouth", "There are 41 dashes in an oz," etc. etc.

We invite you to challenge some of these truths, as well as put your individual opinions against peers in your own city, and cities around the country. Join us for a chance to decide what really matters while tasting through the most celebrated Canadian whisky portfolio in the world.

Please note, this is an extensive tasting seminar. RSVP below:

Carley likes to think that he enjoys a fine Scotch and Daddy Darth likes to enjoy tropical, fruity drinks that “aren’t too sweet”. thinks that Luke would enjoy NA beverages while thinks he’s a level 1 Somm…. What do you think? •
