For 150 years, Pittsburgh was the Whiskey capital of America, producing the gold standard of Pre-Prohibition American Whiskey -- Monogahela Rye. All of this precious whiskey caused quite a stir in the 1790's when the first excise tax in American history was introduced on Whiskey, causing a series of events to unfold better known as the Whiskey rebellion. Join us at Birroteca Balitmore for a spirited storytelling of the Whiskey Rebellion complemented by a 4-course meal and cocktail pairing featuring Wigle Whiskey spirits. Guarantee to be a rebellious and delicious evening.
