Brucato Distillery - Tour, Tastings... and Restaurant in San Francisco!

Join Dr Inkwell for amaro, gin, liqueurs, and food –– in San Francisco!

Come meet fun fellow human beings in a BIPOC/LGBTQ+ safe space, enjoy A LOT of dad jokes, make new friends, maybe hug some old friends, and most importantly ADOPT YOUR BOOZEPHREAKS NAME! Or if you had one before the pandemic, grab your name tag----yes we still have them. <3

Join us at Brucato Distillery for a delightful afternoon. First, we'll take a tour of the distillery with Dr Inkwell. We'll learn how they craft their amaro and learn how they've expanded to SF to make their gin and other new offerings. Along the way, we'll meet some Brucato folks, like Founders Sierra and James Clark, General Manager Rye Tondreault, and Executive Chef Mitchell Reichert.

After the tour, we'll sit for a tasting and talk about their process and how they came to their new space just last year! Unlike their regular tours, we'll taste their entire line of spirits, which includes:

• Their Original Amaros: Woodlands, Orchard and Chaparral
• Reserve Amaros, which have been aged more than 2 years
• San Francisco-made Mission Gin
• Their liqueurs, including Spring Almond, Kumquat and Kumquat Chili
• Perhaps one of their upcoming projects...

Like something in particular? You can make a purchase on site at the end of the tour!

During our tasting, we'll enjoy some light snacks from the kitchen. The Brucato Cheese Pennies have a reputation of their own!

What about after?

After the tour & tasting, you're invited to enjoy dinner and drinks in the gorgeous restaurant. Dr Inkwell will make reservations based on your RSVP upon checkout. See the sample menu below for options and pricing:

DO YOU HAVE A NAME?

At Dr Inkwell's distillery tours, one of the funnest parts is coming up with a "Boozephreaks Name" like "Dr Inkwell." Think of it as cocktail drag---the fusion of pun, camp and booze. Use it to show off your pun mastery or to stay anonymous, if you like. Some of my favorite names are: Graham Marnier, Gina Tonik, Margie Rita, etc. If you need inspiration, I can provide. :)
