Author Talk: Bartender's Library with Brett Adams & Jacob Grier

Join us at Vivienne for an evening with Portland's own Brett Adams and Jacob Grier, seasoned bar professionals and authors of The Bartender’s Library: A Guide to Curating Spirits and Creating Cocktails—from the Multnomah Whiskey Library.

From fermentation and distillation to cask aging, collecting, tasting, and mixing, The Bartender’s Library is a guide to understanding what goes into the bottle—and using that knowledge to figure out what you actually like. Brett and Jacob cut through industry jargon and common myths while offering practical advice for choosing spirits, developing your palate, and building a home bar with confidence.

For our evening at Vivienne, Brett and Jacob will talk about the world of spirits, how to taste and choose bottles, and what makes a great cocktail. They’ll also mix a festive cocktail from the book for guests to enjoy while we talk.

The evening will include conversation, audience Q&A, a book signing, and one cocktail with your ticket.

Must be 21+ to enjoy the cocktail.
