Description:
Blacksburg Wine Lab presents a Whiskey Tavern Takeover on Friday, February 23, 2024.

We have poured through thousands and thousands of winsome wines here Blacksburg Wine Lab over the years, but it seems we also have an increasing following for wonderful whiskies as well! In the spirit of all things spirited, we are launching a new tradition on the final Friday of February, a Whiskey Tavern Takeover!

From Ireland to Japan, Scotland to Tennessee, and Canada to Kentucky, we want to celebrate the finest flavors that fermented grain mash offers us. Given our beloved Blacksburg locale, our whiskey takeover will have a slant towards celebrating all things Appalachian, including live entertainment from the New Standard bluegrass band!

New Standard is a traditional and hard driving bluegrass band that brings together a variety of styles and influences ranging from traditional music to contemporary bluegrass and gospel artists. The band was founded in October, 2011 by three Virginia Tech students.

New Standard plays a mix of traditional bluegrass and gospel music honoring those before us such as Bill Monroe, Flatt & Scruggs, Reno & Smiley and The Stanley Brothers.

New Standard has entertained audiences in many towns across the mountains and Piedmont of Virginia. From fall festivals to church services, birthday parties to fishing tournaments, the group enjoys playing traditional gospel and bluegrass music for a wide variety of audiences.

The Wine Lab will be closing at 8:59 PM and the Whiskey Tavern Takeover opens promptly one minute later at 9:00 PM. After a succinct sermon from the Professor extolling the virtues and history of the Uisge Baugh (water of life), the band will start at 10:00 PM, and the fun will flow until 1:00 AM or perhaps earlier if we run out of whiskey, which of course will never happen!

As for the whiskey itself: Our bartenders will be featuring an array of awesome whiskey cocktails made just for the occasion, along with an expanded selection of whiskey sampler flights from around the world! Add to that, a hand-crafted menu of bourbon-inspired bar snacks, alongside heartier specialized sustenance of our region.

The lucky amount of $7.77 gets you access to all the sights and sounds, fun and flavors of this inaugural final Friday Whiskey Tavern Takeover. Tickets are limited, so don’t delay in snagging a spot.
