Challenge yourself, your friends, and family
to try new bourbons AND win exciting prizes in celebration of
Bourbon Heritage Month
ST.
LOUIS, Aug. 6, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Bourbon &
Banter will kick off National Bourbon Heritage Month with plenty of
giveaways during the 11th annual "30 Days of Bourbon Challenge"
starting September 1. This
sip-and-salute celebration commemorates that auspicious moment on
August 7, 2007, when the U.S. Senate
declared September as National Bourbon Heritage Month.
We've done the 30 Days of Bourbon Challenge
for just over a decade now and every year it gets better.
The bill, sponsored by Republican Senator Jim Bunning of Kentucky, passed by unanimous consent. The
resolution calls for consumers who enjoy bourbon, declared
"America's Native Spirit" by the 1864 Act of Congress, to celebrate
the family heritage, tradition, and deep-rooted legacy that the
bourbon industry contributes to the
United States.
"Bourbon Heritage Month is an opportunity to educate yourself
about bourbon, enjoy different cocktails and bourbons, and learn
the history it has in the states," said Patrick "Pops" Garrett,
founder, and Chief Drinking Officer for Bourbon & Banter. "At
Bourbon & Banter, we take it as an opportunity to encourage
bourbon lovers and those new to spirit to explore the many
different bourbons out there, try something new, and revisit old
favorites. It's a true celebration of all things bourbon."
Bourbon & Banter, part of the DrinkCurious community, will
be celebrating in September with raffle prize packages, giveaways
and their "30 Days of Bourbon Challenge."
The "Challenge" is a deep but systematic dive into
"drinking curious." To drink curious is to leave your
preconceptions at the door and share a drink with friends—those you
know and those you'll make while sharing a drink. Camaraderie
creates conversations that lead to deeper relationships and
knowledge of what's in the glass.
To complete this challenge, participants must drink a different
bourbon daily for the entire month. Each of the 30 bourbons must be
distinctly different and Rye, Scotch or American malt whiskeys do
not apply to the 30-day sip tally. Join the challenge here.
"We've done the 30 Days of Bourbon Challenge for just over a
decade now and every year it gets better," said Garrett. "This year
will be no different. We're going to have more giveaways, more
interaction on social media, and plenty of fun while we're at it.
It's an excuse to enjoy and celebrate bourbon with friends, family
and even strangers."
More than 25 distilleries have joined Bourbon & Banter for
this year's Bourbon Heritage Month donating swag for weekly Bourbon
Swag Pack giveaways (5), and, at the end of the month, one
Mega-Pack winner. In addition, there's chances to win smaller
prizes like swag from your favorite brands, free online whiskey
classes, Bourbon & Banter community memberships and gear from
their DrinkCurious Bourbon shop. Bourbon enthusiasts are encouraged
to follow Bourbon & Banter on Instagram, Facebook and X
(formerly known as Twitter) closely for their chance to claim a
prize.
