Rieiger & Co Distillery & Dinner at Knuckleheads!"},"content":{"rendered":"

Now this should be fun! We’re booking a one hour tour of the famous J. Rieger Distillery in the West Bottoms followed by dinner at Knuckleheads. Founded in 1887 by Jacob Rieger, it is still managed by a great-great-great grandson and Andy Rieger is the youthful CEO. In 2014, Rieger quit his job in Dallas and moved back to Kansas City, took a leap of faith and spent $20 million on resurrecting the distillery.\u00a0 I don’t know about you, but for a young guy, that’s damn impressive! After the tour (for those who can still stand upright) we’re hoofing it across the street to Knuckleheads for dinner.<\/h4>\n

We are doing the one hour private Heritage Tour at 5 PM. It includes a tasting of their four core spirits. We’ve purchased 18 spaces and we ask you gents to pay us before the tour. The per person amount is $30.00. You guys know the drill; cash or checks are fine. Plastic? Just get in touch with our esteemed Treasurer, Doug Pittack. Just please remember that if you buy a ticket and are unable to attend, we are cannot refund the amount. Oh, last thing. J. Rieger asks that we only wear closed toe shoes during the tour – no sandals.<\/h4>\n

Keep a sharp eye out for the Punchbowl invite on this one!<\/h4>\n
