Elijah Craig – Old Fashioned Week Celebrated at 13 Local Bars October 13, 2022 By Dayton937 Share this:TweetEmailMoreShare on TumblrTelegramPocketWhatsAppPrint In 1789, Rev. Elijah Craig did not set out to become the Father of Bourbon when he first charred oak barrels, but his ingenuity proved a pivotal moment for Bourbon. Less than twenty years later, a spark ignited with what was first known as ‘the whiskey cocktail,’ paving the way for cocktail culture. The renaissance of classic cocktails over the last two decades rejuvenated desire for spirit-forward cocktails that are both balanced and complex, a setting ripe to celebrate an Elijah Craig Old Fashioned. Elijah Craig Old Fashioned Week takes place Oct 14 – 23 and is an annual celebration of this classic Bourbon cocktail, featuring events in bars around town. Together, we’re raising a glass and some funds for a great cause. Join us for an Old Fashioned night out! The interactive map lets you search for participating bars and restaurants in your neighborhood, create your own itinerary, and share it with friends. Cheers! The inaugural Old Fashioned Week was launched in 2020 raising funds for the Restaurant Workers’ Community Foundation (RWCF), an advocacy and action nonprofit created by and for restaurant workers. This year funds raised will benefit The Southern Smoke Foundation. A crisis relief organization that provides a safety net for food and beverage industry workers nationwide: whether they are facing physical or mental health challenges; rebuilding from storm damage and other natural disasters; or recovering from the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.
