In Pittsburgh this Weekend?

I normally feel sorry for people who spend their weekends in Pittsburgh...just kidding (sorta)! This weekend though it's the place to be for fans of rye whiskey and history. Although there's currently no rye being produced in Western PA, there is a ton of history there and this Friday and Saturday will see a series of lectures, tours, and events targeted towards those interested in the region's whiskey history. The events are timed to match the addition of West Overton, outside of Pittsburgh, to the American Whiskey Trail. The area is the site of the whiskey rebellion after all, as well as the original Old Overholt distillery.
