An Evening with Fred Minnick
Some nights are easy to come by. Others—you feel them before they even begin. This is one of those nights.
Join us at Hard Truth Distilling Co. for an evening with Fred Minnick—a voice that’s helped shape how America understands whiskey, one honest story at a time. As part of his national tour for Bottom Shelf: How a Forgotten Brand of Bourbon Saved One Man’s Life, Fred brings his story to a place that lives and breathes the craft every day.
This won’t feel like a talk—it’ll feel like pulling up a chair and settling in. Over chef-curated appetizers and thoughtfully crafted cocktails, Fred will share stories from Bottom Shelf, including a live reading, along with reflections on bourbon’s deeper roots—where it comes from, and why it still matters.
There’s a weight to Fred’s words. Not because they’re loud—but because they’re true. And on this night, that truth meets the spirit of Hard Truth—where whiskey, story, and community come together in a way you don’t often find.
The evening closes with a book signing and a chance to meet Fred—so you don’t just hear the story, you carry it with you.
