During the pre-class reception and break time, Big House Bourbon will be crafting original cocktails and pouring samples of their handcrafted whiskey. To accompany the bourbon tasting, we'll also serve up a hearty spread of Smoking Goose meat treats & sides.

Participants take home a prime selection of the pork cuts we'll be butchering that evening. Dress the part as we'll provide your butcher's uniform.

Reservations required: $150 per person includes snacks & drinks plus lotsa fresh pork and a Big House Bourbon hat to take home.
