Agave Behind the Bar is a laid-back, bartender-focused session where we’ll dig into the world of agave spirits through open conversation, tasting, and shared experiences behind the stick.

This isn’t a lecture. It’s a space for bartenders and service industry professionals to learn, ask questions, and talk shop about everything from traditional mezcal production to how to build a smarter agave section on your backbar.

We’ll cover:

• Agave 101: The basics of varietals, regions, and why terroir matters

• Production Styles: How different techniques impact flavor—and how to spot them

• Labels, Terms & Truths: What the bottle really tells you (and what it doesn’t)

• Sourcing & Sustainability: A real talk on where your mezcal comes from and why that matters

• Practical Takeaways: How to talk about agave with guests and mix it with purpose

Whether you’ve been pouring mezcal for years or just starting to get into it, this is your chance to learn, taste, and swap ideas with your peers.

Light tasting included. Industry only. Come ready to talk, sip, and share.
