Celebrate Super Bowl LIV with a Missouri Bourbon Barbecue Old Fashioned or San Francisco Seafood Michelada from our director of spirits education.
The combination of smoke and sweet is at the heart of all good barbecue, and no place knows that better than Kansas City. For San Francisco, the flavors of Fisherman's Wharf are a perfect complement to a versatile beer classic. Raise a glass for the Chiefs or 49ers with MVP-worthy mixology.
