Bottle SharesA bottle share is a casual gathering where everyone brings one or more bottles for others to try. At Houston Agave Society, we share Mezcal, Tequila and other spirits made in Mexico.Bottles go on a shared table. You can see what others brought, pour yourself a small amount to taste and get to know the group. You don’t need any experience, and nobody is expected to give a presentation.

CommunityAsk questions, trade recommendations and share discoveries in our private Facebook group. You’re welcome whether you’re beginning to explore or have been at it for years.

Brand and Producer TastingsWe share local tastings hosted by brands and producers, along with details on how to attend. These events offer a chance to ask questions and learn more about the spirits being featured.

PlantAgave, cane, grains and fruit. We explore how ingredients are grown, harvested and transformed into the spirits we share.

PeopleGrowers, distillers, families and communities. We want to know the people behind each spirit and give their work the recognition it deserves.

PlaceThe land, local conditions and a maker’s choices help shape a spirit’s character. Where it comes from is part of its story.

TraditionCooking, fermentation and distillation carry knowledge between generations. We explore how those practices developed and how makers continue to adapt them.
