Wyoming Whiskey to host Kirby Dirby Party

Wyoming Whiskey is hosting a fun-filled event that includes horse racing, games and whiskey.

A Kirby Dirby Kentucky Derby Watch Party will be held at Wyoming Whiskey in Kirby on Saturday, May 6 from 11 a.m. until 5 p.m.

There will be games, including a Horses Dice Tourney starting at 1 p.m., Stick Horse Races starting at 3 p.m., the Best Kirby Dirby Hat Contest cocktails and prizes.

Event attendees and participants must be 21 years and older as there will be cocktails and prizes. 

Wyoming Whiskey’s Retail and Event Manager Amanda Moeller said contest trophies at the party will be a bottle of premium whiskey.

Moeller added, “It’ll just be a really fun day. We’ll have a little bit of charcuterie, some meat, and cheese, a little bit of fruit tray type thing. Nothing extravagant, but, people are welcome to come on out and have a good time.”

Moeller continued and said, “We’re also releasing our limited edition product, Stargazer. This will be the second release of Stargazer. The first one was in 2019, so it hasn’t been out for a while. And it’s 100 proof. I think it’s only a five-barrel blend. It’s limited, and it’s only going to be sold in this store. It won’t be out on the market. It won’t be in our store in Jackson, just the Kirby store.

Moeller added about the Kirby Dirby, “We can only sell Wyoming Whiskey products, so we will have multiple cocktails available, but they will be Wyoming Whiskey only. We can’t sell beer.”

Moeller added, “We’ll have some more events coming up real soon. We have another event coming up in June. We’ll have a live band for that one and some food trucks and we’re closing the street out here, so it’ll be another good time. This building has given us a lot more opportunities to invite more people out.”

The Kirby Dirby event will be at the Wyoming Whiskey Shop, formerly known as the Kirby Bar and Grill.
