On Saturday, October 1st, from Noon – 3p, Fremont Mischief invites everyone to come meet the Captain’s, taste some outstanding, naturally flavored whiskey and help raise money. Enjoy tasty barbeque, live music and a chance to rub shoulders, hoist a glass, and listen to colorful fish tales from the Captains who hauled the limited-edition Storm Tossed Rye through the North Seas.
Fremont Mischief partnered with two fishing vessels, the Cornelia Marie and the Northwestern, who carried barrels of the rye whiskey in their bows – on the Bering and Arctic Seas – aging the spirits on the churning water. The two different sailings, and ships, created different flavors in the whiskey and a competition among the Captains as to whose barrels would deliver the best spirit.
The October 1st celebration will feature a fundraising auction with vintage treasurers from the F/V Cornelia Marie, featured on the Discovery Channel show ‘Deadliest Catch.’ Also available are signed Storm Tossed Rye barrels, crab, and other one-of-a-kind items. Captains Josh Harris and Casey McManus will also be signing bottles of Storm Tossed Rye.
Money raised will go to the Seattle Fisherman’s Memorial and the Sea Scouts, two non-profits dedicated to supporting the maritime industry, safety and those most in need. Fremont Mischief hopes to raise $40,000 through this event, and a portion of sales of the two Ryes.
Come help support the cause, and get a taste of the whiskey. Participate in a blind tasting, or buy a taste of another Fremont Mischief favorite at the cash bar. Purchase tickets to this fun and flavor-filled event, for $15 in advance, through the Fremont Mischief website.
