Cocktail Lovers: Fountainhead Hosting Class For Aspiring Master Mezcaliers

Beer, whiskey and… mezcal?

Fountainhead is going south of the border by hosting a Master Mezcalier class. The distilled alcoholic beverage is made from the maguey plant, similar to the agave.  

A 200-year-old tradition in Mexico, the drink is used in cocktails worldwide. Becoming a expert of the product takes four levels of classes.

Fountainhead, at 1970 W. Montrose, will host the first two levels of the certification process.

The first level teaches production, and origin, while the second focuses on the ingredient in beverages and cocktails.

Each class is $250 and runs from 11 to 3 p.m. on June 24 and 25. The program is open to anyone and those who are interested can sign up at mezcalier.com.
