Bowl of 'Zole Returns to Denver in 2024

DENVER, CO – Mexican Spirits Expert Arik Torren of Lot001 Brands, Chef and Mezcal de Leyendas Partner Danny Mena, and Food Karma Projects’ Founder Jimmy Carbone present the extraordinary Bowl of ‘Zole Denver at SKYLIGHT on Thursday, March 28, 2024.

“I call it industry-style. It’s an insider, guided taste of mezcal and pozole,” says Carbone. Denver’s up-and-coming chefs and award-winning restaurants will offer dizzying takes on the iconic Mexican entree, ranging from innovative to traditional interpretations of seafood, vegetarian, and pork pozoles. The Mile-High City’s best chefs will also offer familiar favorites like tacos and other classic dishes, ready to pair with incredible samples of more than 100 vibrant agave expressions like mezcal and tequila at the all-inclusive event.

Bowl of ‘Zole Denver showcases a stunning selection of spirits from both independent producers and multinational brands. “Finding the stories and these makers and going beyond just the usual gets us excited by the breadth of what Mexico has to offer,” says Torren.

There will be the smooth allure of top shelf tequila from Amatiteña Tequila, Don Fulano Tequila, Tequila Fortaleza, Tequila ArteNOM, smoky sips of artisan mezcal from Mezcal de Leyendas, the distinct charms of raicilla and sotol from artisan producers, and renowned Mexican wines and beers. Bowl of ‘Zole Denver is “a really wonderful cultural event that brings together... aspects that are deeply ingrained in Mexico... whether it’s tequila, mezcal, or even wine,” extols Mena.

The lineup for Bowl of ‘Zole Denver is still being finalized and attendees can expect an impressive list of participants.
