CELEBRATING AMERICA’S "NATIVE SPIRIT”

Since 1991 the city of Bardstown, Kentucky has hosted the Kentucky Bourbon Festival celebrating the history and art of distilling Bourbon whiskey. On August 2, 2007, the US Senate declared September 2007 as "National Bourbon Heritage Month. And every September from then on the people of our great nation have come together to celebrate America's “Native Spirit”.

At Staypineapple we invite you to visit our bars and restaurants and raise a glass to this great spirit.  And in case you want to celebrate at home, we’re sharing our favorite bourbon cocktail recipes that you will find in each of our establishments.
