Irish Coffee is taking over The Banks on Friday, March 13. From 5:30 to 8pm, the Cincinnati Coffee Festival is hosting its next spirited event, an Irish Coffee Tasting across five venues, a progressive event just in time for St. Patrick’s season.

Participants will rotate through Holy Grail, Moerlein Lager House, Killer Queen, The Park and Jefferson Social, choosing between a two-ounce tasting of a classic Irish Coffee or a specialty Irish Coffee at each stop. Attendees will also enjoy special pricing on full-size Irish Coffee cocktails and featured appetizers along the way.

The event follows the Festival’s successful Espresso Martini Tasting, the first Cincinnati Coffee Festival event ever held outside of festival weekend, which sold out. 

Organizers say these pop-up tastings are part of a larger goal: sharing the love of coffee and supporting the environment all year long. With limited capacity and strong early interest, tickets are expected to move quickly.

Tickets are $25 and get each patron one two-ounce tasting at each location. 

Proceeds benefit the Ohio River Foundation, supporting its work to protect and restore the Ohio River watershed - because you can’t make a great cup of coffee – or in this case, an Irish Coffee - without great water.

Tickets are limited and available now at cincinnaticoffeefestival.com.
