America 250 Celebration with Blue Bolt Spirits
America turns 250 this year.
That feels like a pretty good excuse to raise a glass.
On June 27, 2026, Blue Bolt Spirits is hosting an America 250 Celebration at Giant Texas Tasting Room in Houston, bringing together great cocktails, a unique interactive experience, and a meaningful cause that supports veterans and active-duty service members.
This isn't your typical whiskey tasting.
Guests will receive two America 250 Old Fashioneds crafted with Blue Bolt Spirits, a $25 Uber voucher to help ensure everyone gets home safely, and access to an indoor weapons simulator experience provided by Turrango.
The event benefits the Whiskey Valor Foundation, an organization dedicated to promoting responsible drinking and working toward its mission of reducing alcohol-related incidents within the military and veteran community.
That's also why the Uber voucher isn't just a nice perk. It's part of the mission.
Whiskey Valor's goal is simple: One Team. One Mission. Zero DUIs.
Adding another layer to the event, the first 25 veterans who register can use the code BLUEBOLT250 to receive free admission.
The simulator experience gives attendees an opportunity to test their skills in a safe and controlled environment while enjoying an afternoon that blends American history, Texas spirits, and community support.
Whether you're attending for the cocktails, the cause, the simulator, or simply because celebrating America's 250th anniversary sounds like a good time, this event offers a unique way to spend a Saturday while helping support an organization making a real difference.
