How the Tasting Events Are Organized

The tasting events at Old Wheel at Cobbs in Anderson follow a simple format where you try multiple drinks in smaller pours, allowing you to compare without committing to a full serving. The host selects drinks from the cocktail lounge menu and pours them in sequence, giving you time to taste each one before moving on. You're seated in a lounge area or near the bar, and the event runs for a set amount of time with breaks for questions and discussion.

After the tasting ends, you leave with a clearer sense of what you liked and what you'd order again. The host explains the differences between styles like hazy IPAs and crisp Kölsch beers, and you notice those differences in the taste, aroma, and finish. You can stay after the event to order full pours of anything you tried, or you can grab food from the kitchen and settle in for the rest of the evening.

The events pair naturally with shareable plates and snacks, so you can eat while you taste without interrupting the flow. Seating is limited, and spots are reserved in advance to keep the group size manageable. The tastings don't require prior knowledge or experience, and the host keeps the tone conversational rather than instructional. You walk away knowing more about what you like and what to order on your next visit.
