About the event
A guided Rezpiral tasting
Mezcal Hangout: Meet the Founder is built as a guided tasting centered on Rezpiral mezcal. Alex White, identified as Rezpiral’s founder, hosts the event, so the format is not just a bar tasting with anonymous pours; the named producer’s founder is part of the program. Rezpiral is identified as an Oaxaca producer, and the tasting takes place at Barra in Somerville.
Capacity is intentionally small: the event is limited to 10 seats and is listed as 21+ only. That seat count is also reflected in the event description, which frames the tasting around meeting the person behind the mezcal and pairing it with bites from Barra.
What is paired
The program features three Rezpiral mezcales paired with three custom culinary bites prepared by Barra’s kitchen. The pairing structure is specific: three pours and three bites, rather than an open-ended tasting menu or a general cocktail event. Barra’s role is both venue and kitchen for the food component.
The source description summarizes the format as a tasting with REZPIRAL founder Alex White, paired with bites from BARRA. The more detailed program information names the same host and adds the count of three mezcales and three custom bites, keeping the focus on the featured producer and the food pairing.
