What it's for

Use booze as autobiography — the drink someone grew up around tells a story that a bio never would.

The guest's job

Batch one round of your hometown’s drink and bring the two-minute oral history that goes with it.

The vote

The drink most worth a pilgrimage — not the tastiest, but the one that makes everyone want to visit.

The reveal

Each guest pours their batch for the table and delivers the story before anyone sips.

Food & drink spine

Light regional snacks if people bring them; the drinks are the whole event.

Conversation fuel

"Is the drink actually good, or does it just taste better with the memory attached?"

How it flops — steer around it

Everyone from the same city or region. Cast a wide geographic net in the invite.
