I’m excited to announce that the 2015 scotch tasting season has begun at Happy Harbor Comics! March 28 brings what will probably my favourite tasting yet: the heroic edition. Tasters must try to guess which famous comic heroes and villains would prefer which scotch, and of course sample it for themselves. Each pairing comes with a collectible card made by one of two Edmonton artists, featuring artwork of the character enjoying his or her drink of choice.
Edmonton’s friendliest comic book store hosts these tasting events a few times a year. Each one features a silent auction to raise money for charity; the event in March will support Team in Training marathoners for cancer research. For a good cause you can treat yourself to some geek-friendly artwork by local artists along with other auction goodies.
There are limited spots, so get your tickets quick! If you can’t make it in March, there are two more events on June 20 and November 7. More details about the event are on Happy Harbor’s website and on the Facebook event page, and you can contact the store to reserve your spot.
