Mega Tasting Event at the International Rally
This mega-tasting event will be held between 4:00-6:00 PM on June 27th, at the Sweetwater Event Complex in Rock Springs, WY during the International Rally.
Each registration & payment of $25 covers up to two attendees per Big Red Number (BRN).
For each registered attendee on the jotform, the Grapes & Grains Intra-Club will provide a commemorative dated rally tasting glass, appetizers, and a donation to a charity supported by International.
Each registered BRN is expected to provide at least ONE UNOPENED, commercially produced item in the following categories:
• four/six pack of craft beer
• 1 bottle of wine
• 1 bottle of spirits (e.g. bourbon, rye, gin, etc.)
Each provided item will have a ticket attached to it and if the item is emptied during the event, then the ticket will be placed in a drawing for remaining unclaimed items in that category later in the evening. We encourage you to bring something unique (maybe something from your local brewery, winery, or distillery).
At 5:30 PM, the remaining ticketed items will be called and your ticket must be presented in order to reclaim your bottle. If your item was emptied, your ticket was placed in a drawing. If your ticket is selected during the drawing it will be matched
up to an unclaimed bottle(s). The remaining beers will be split between the tickets in the bowl.
Grapes & Grains Intra-Club will provide metered pourers for all of the spirits tastings. We will have volunteers stationed at tasting tables to monitor the servings.
