Andy Roddick and Peyton Manning’s bourbon brand is curating a mini film festival in Austin, Texas, centered on golf.
No, it makes sense, we’ll explain.
The Sweetens Cove bourbon is named after a nine-hole golf course in Tennessee. But the booze has strong Austin ties: In addition to Roddick, local co-owners include Tiff’s Treats co-founder Leon Chen, Kendra Scott CEO Tom Nolan, Silicon Labs chairman Nav Sooch and real estate developer Mark Rivers. The bourbon’s newest release also was blended right here in Central Texas.
To celebrate that release, Sweetens Cove will bring three (should have been … four) golf-themed flicks — “Happy Gilmore,” “Caddyshack” and “Tin Cup” — to Alamo Drafthouse South Lamar on Aug. 23. There’s a happy hour at 6 p.m. and a costume contest at 6:45 p.m. The winner of that contest gets a bottle of Sweetens Cove Bourbon autographed by Andy Roddick and Peyton Manning.
Attendees pick, in advance, which of the three movies they want to see, starting between 7 and 7:30 p.m.
Two ticket tiers are available. For $20, you get admission, swag, snacks and sips of Sweetens Cove; $10 from each ticket benefits Andy Roddick Foundation. For $100, you get all of that, and 100% of your ticket purchase goes toward the foundation.
