The upcoming Science of Spirits at Lichterman Nature Center sounds like an exploration into the world of the supernatural.
Well, it’s not. Halloween is over. These “spirits” are the drinkable kind.
The event, which will be held from 6 to 9 p.m. Friday, November 15th, is now part of a trio of events that includes Science of Beer and Science of Wine.
Just like the beer and wine events, guests will travel from station to station sampling bourbon, but, this time, they’ll learn about the science of making American whiskey.
Bourbons include Buffalo Trace Kentucky Straight Bourbon, 1792 Bourbon, Traveller Whiskey, Sazerac Rye, Benchmark Selects Casks Single Barrel, Benchmark Select Casks Top Floor, Rich & Rare Reserve, and Buffalo Trace Bourbon Cream.
Food from Bain BBQ, Huey’s, and Graz’n will be available.
Mark Edgar Stuart will perform.
Guests must be 21 to attend. All proceeds will benefit the Museums of Science & History (MoSH) programming, summer camps, STEM workshops, and more. MoSH is the umbrella group that includes Lichterman Nature Center, Pink Palace Museum & Mansion, Mallory-Neely Historic Property, and Coon Creek Science Center.
Upcoming events include Science of Beer, which will be held January 17, 2025, at Pink Palace Museum & Mansion, and Science of Wine, which will be held in spring 2025 at Pink Palace.
