BevMax, in partnership with the Stamford Museum & Nature Center, hosted an evening whiskey tasting at the Knobloch Family Farmhouse in Stamford on Nov. 8. During the BevMax Whiskey & Woodfire event, brand ambassadors and representatives from local wholesalers and suppliers were in attendance to pour a variety of high-end bourbons, Scotches and rye selections for guests, along with select rum brands. Whiskey lovers paired spirits selections with wood-fired pizza from New Haven’s Sally’s Apizza on the venue’s back patio. Staff from BevMax was on hand to take guests’ orders of their favorite whiskey brands. The event was part of the Nights Out events series hosted by the Stamford Museum & Nature Center in the new Knobloch Family Farmhouse, which overlooks the pastures of Heckscher Farm.
