Join us at the Simple Goodness Soda Shop in Wilkeson, WA for Old Fashioned Fest, our annual tasting event celebrating one of the oldest and best cocktails in history: the Old Fashioned.
WHAT WE'RE BRINGING BACK:
This is THE tasting event for whiskey lovers. Try variations on the classic cocktail and vote on your favorites- but NEW THIS YEAR, because the Soda Shop will no longer be open daily, we've invited new friends to the tents, to help you find your NEW favorite Old Fashioned experience in the South Sound. Come try local bartenders' signature menu Old Fashioneds, hear direct from distilleries who make the juice, stop by the ice luge for a perfectly chilled pour, and learn about the OG cocktail in the rustic setting of the Soda Shop- a space as old and full of history as the cocktail itself.
Want to come along but don't want to drink Old Fashioned cocktails? Below you will have the option of selecting a non-drinking/ DD event entry ticket for $25. This will cover your entry, the cover for the band, and a $10 discount at the Simple Goodness Soda shop to be used towards our drinks and food menu. You will not be able to taste the Old Fashioned cocktails at the tents if you purchase this option.
