A Night with Fred Minnick

• Book Signing
• Whiskey Tasting
• BBQ

Fred Minnick—award-winning whiskey critic, historian, and bestselling author—will be our special guest for an intimate night of conversation, guided tastings, and great barbecue. Fred will be signing copies of his newest book, Bottom Shelf, and sharing the personal story behind it—how a forgotten bottle of bourbon helped change the course of his life.

Whether you’re a seasoned whiskey enthusiast or just beginning your journey, this is a rare opportunity to meet the man behind the reviews, taste thoughtfully selected spirits, and enjoy an evening built around authenticity, craftsmanship, and connection.

Bottom Shelf: How a Forgotten Brand of Bourbon Saved One Man’s Life is Fred Minnick’s most personal work to date—part memoir, part whiskey history, and part reflection on recovery, purpose, and resilience. Copies will be available on-site, and Fred will be signing throughout the evening.
