Snug Whiskey Fest Expo - An Irish Spirits Tasting Experience

Get ready for an unforgettable Irish Spirits Tasting Event at the Crossroads of America. Join us in person to savor the rich flavors and smooth finishes of Ireland's finest whiskeys. Whether you're a seasoned connoisseur or just starting your whiskey journey, this Brand Expo is all about exceptional spirits & good company.

This first event of it's kind in Indianapolis and Irvington, this event highlights small and innovative Irish Spirits Distillers who are expanding the edges of the industry by redefining distilling techniques & pushing the boundaries of flavor while staying grounded in the traditions of distilling in Ireland. We will also showcase established brands that build the foundation of Irish whiskey and sustain it still today.

When you arrive you will be welcomed to the 2nd floor lobby of the former Irvington Masonic Lodge which features 20 foot high ceilings and hardwood floors. Built in 1922, the Lodge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987 and has been beautifully restored to preserve its history and transform it into one of the premier event spaces in Indianapolis.

Upon entry into the first of TWO generously sized tasting rooms you will hear the sounds of a live traditional Irish band on the small stage. Then you will see rows of tall cocktail tables with Irish spirits brand banners and their smiling hosts next to them waiting to pour you a sip of golden amber liquid into your exclusive, branded, Snug Whiskey Fest, Cruit tasting glass designed by our presenting sponsor, Túath Glass.

Listen to the distillers, distributors and brand representatives as they educate guests about the distilling process, brand history and flavor profiles in your glass. Meet other Irish Whiskey and spirits enthusiasts. Share your stories about your favorite spirits and the adventures you had while enjoying them!

Sip at your own pace, take your time in each tasting room, enjoy the music and decide what bottles you might want to take home.

Snug Whiskey Fest Exclusive bottle releases will be available for purchase that evening with pickup at the SNUG Irish Pub (210 S. Audubon Rd.) following the event.

We can't wait to welcome you to this inaugural event in the place we call home.

The Inaugural Snug Whiskey Fest tasting glass is a Cruit glass designed by our presenting sponsor, Túath Glass featuring the SWF branding done by Guide & Anchor Creative Studio.

We are grateful for the financial, in-kind and collaborative support of our sponsors & partners.
