Author Talk + Bar Takeover: Ted Genoways in conversation with Glenn Pollak

Friday July 18, 2025 4:00pm - 7:00pm MDT

Kochevar's @ 127 Elk Ave, Crested Butte, CO 81224

Author talk will be from 4-5pm with an agave spirit focused bar takeover 5-7pm.
Author talk is free to attend, tequila tastings will be sold on site if you would like to partake.

Join us for a spirited hour of conversation and tasting with two of the best in the agave game. True tequila aficionado Glenn Pollak brings his deep love and knowledge of agave spirits—from traditional styles to regional nuances—while acclaimed author Ted Genoways (yes, that Ted Genoways of Tequila Wars fame) dives into the rich, rebellious history behind the bottle.
Together, they'll engage in a lively conversation and a side-by-side tasting of standout tequilas—consider it equal parts education and celebration. Stick around afterward as the party turns into a Bar Takeover featuring special pours of tequila and mezcal. Glenn and Ted may even hang out for a drink or two. We hope you will too.
