Eleven CD events since 2015, two product drops with Lawrenceville Distilling and SHOP412, and a dozen named programs from hotel takeovers to pandemic pop-ups.
Two partnered products with Lawrenceville Distilling. One still pouring, one that raised real money for the people who make Pittsburgh nightlife run.
A 5% hard iced tea. Parking Chair Vodka, a blend of black teas, and a hint of lemon. Named after the Pittsburgh light-rail. Our first canned beverage, shipped across Western PA through Fine Wine & Good Spirits and select local bars.
A COVID-response collab: a 12-ounce Gin Gimlet with SHOP412, Lawrenceville Distilling, and Market Street Grocery. Proceeds went to the Night Life Line, crisis relief for Pittsburgh hospitality and nightlife workers hit hardest by the shutdown.
Long-running activations, one-night takeovers, and everything between. Some ran for years, some for one weekend. All built the network we run today.
