About the event:
In Great Britain in the 18th century, Gin (or genever) became the most popular drink; widely accessible across class lines, everyone was drinking it, and the whole country was getting lit (and not in a good way). The average person was consuming up to 10 liters of gin annually, at double the potency that you can find today. With workers not showing up to their jobs and the economy crashing to a halt, the government began taxing it to try to slow the consumption rate. Immediately, the country was furious and all over Great Britain, riots began.
In the spirit of those Gin Riots and an undeniable passion for gin, we’re bringing back the most exciting event of the year. We’ve challenged bars and restaurants all across Central Oregon to create a specialty cocktail on their menu featuring our Crater Lake Prohibition Gin or our Crater Lake Reserve Dry Gin. For the month of May, the people got the chance to visit to our amazing participants venues to taste and vote for their favorite Gin Riot creation.
The top six contestants will be announced on May 15th. At the in person event, six bartenders battled it out in front of a panel of three judges and a full audience of spectators to see who makes the best Gin Riot cocktail. Visit our Instagram to see the 2022 event on our story highlights.
