Brown & Balanced presents PDXChill W/US. This Portland Cocktail Week kickoff event sponsored by D'USSÉ Cognac, Jack Daniel’s Bonded, and Pronghorn Spirits is a new way to partake in the Brown & Balanced experience, focusing on family, fellowship, and fun! It's the same vibes but with a more intimate approach. Come get the B&B feel (music, food, amazing cocktails) but with a chill atmosphere so you are rested and reset for the packed educational week that Lush Life Productions has put together. We are excited to feature several rising stars in the national cocktail scene from Boston to San Francisco as the Brown & Balanced at PDXCW ‘23 Featured Bartenders: NaCir Ali El, Yazmean Donaldson, Danameche T. Davis, Joewell Mckenzie, Ninnete Amene and Thomas Moore IV. After you check in at registration, come chill with these masters of the hospitality craft and ease into our vibe.
