New York Indy Spirits Expo At Manhattan Cocktail Classic To Expose Spirits Entrepreneurs To Wide Audience

Online, April 21, 2011 (Newswire.com) - NY Indy Spirits Expo Aligns With Manhattan Cocktail Classic To Expose Spirits Entrepreneurs To A Wider Audience

Indy Spirits Expo will take place in NYC on Monday May 16th, 2011.

The Indy Spirits Expo is proud to announce that the 2011 event will take place as part of the Manhattan Cocktail Classic - New York City's annual multi-day festival celebrating the myriad points of intersection between cocktails and culture. With over one hundred events spread across five days and three boroughs, the Classic offers a vast array of unique experiences to enthusiasts and professionals alike, expanding the very definition of what constitutes a "cocktail event".

Since great cocktails start with great spirits, it is a natural fit for the producers of artisanal, boutique spirits to take part in one of the greatest cocktail celebrations in the world. Since its inception, the Indy Spirits Expo has showcased an eclectic group of limited production, high quality spirits.

In addition to giving attendees the opportunity to sample an amazing variety of unique and genre-redefining spirits, the Expo offers attendees a rare opportunity to meet the distillers, owners, importers, and entrepreneurs responsible for bringing these terrific products to market.

The Indy Sprits Expo's director, Dave Schmier, says: "The goal of the expo has always been to provide a forum where the the small entrepreneur can showcase their spirits. The Expo is excited to be a part of the Manhattan Cocktail Classic. As the premier cocktail festival in one of the world's biggest and most forward-thinking markets, the Classic brings a diverse audience of both enthusiasts and trade - a perfect audience for an event like the Expo."

The selection of spirits at The Indy Spirits Expo will cover a full spectrum of the best and the newest brands in the marketplace: from a variety of vodkas and gins to cognacs and absinthes. With the growing micro-distillery movement in the US, domestically crafted products are strongly represented by brands from across the country as well as the burgeoning NY State distilling movement.
