Quotes
"This event brings in some of the best barbecue and the best bourbon from across the Southeast. This isn’t a pig-picking. This isn’t a wine tasting. This is a festival for those who want a new and one-of-its-kind experience.” – Tammy Johnson, CEO of High Spirits Events

"I had such a great time at Ho & Barrel last time. The food was delicious, the drinks were incredible, and I can't wait to see what this year has in store." – Liz W., 

"My team loves doing all the events that High Spirits has to offer. We get to hang out with great people, sling some fun cocktails, and serve our award-winning food to new customers. Plus, it's always a perk if we win cash for bringing the best dish! There is no better to way to market our restaurant."              -Stephen Gossett, Social Latitude
