The Bourbon Trail: Beam Edition
Saturday, August 23rd through Tuesday, September 23rd, 2025!
Jim Beam is introducing the newest member of its Flavors roster....Jim Beam Pineapple Bourbon! To celebrate we teamed up with The Atlanta Braves, 680 The Zone, Suntory Global Spirits, The Battery Atlanta and Georgia Crown Distributing Company to ask our favorite bartenders to create a special cocktail with their choice of Jim Beam Original, Jim Beam Peach or Jim Beam Pineapple.
Not only did they deliver over 30 inspired, delightful cocktails, our favorite bartenders also recommended delicious food pairings, available at the metro area's tastiest restaurants, bars, lounges and hotels!
Scroll below and click to see all the amazing cocktails and food pairings! We can't guarantee our favorite bartenders will have time, but if you ask nicely, perhaps they'll make their special cocktail for you?
Join us in supporting Georgia's independent, local restaurants, bars, lounges and hotels! Stay safe, rideshare and remember to drink responsibly.
