SEATTLE, WA — July 9, 2012 – Bastille’s July 16 “Meet the Producer” happy hour will focus on Novo Fogo Cachaças in the Back Bar from 4:30pm – 6pm. And as a bonus, “Bars on Fire” will take place immediately following from 6pm – 9pm. This will be an all Cachaças all the time kind of night!
Dragos Axinte will be in attendance to talk Novo Fogo Cachaças and cocktails. Bastille bar manager, Erik Carlson, will also be on hand for the evening.
“Bars on Fire” is a series that Axinte has been promoting around Seattle and Portland that showcases a special drink menu and a guest bartender. The event on Monday, July 16th features a menu created in collaboration with Jay Kuehner of Sambar fame. Axinte and Kuehner’s menu will feature five or six Novo Fogo cocktails in the $5 to $7 range. Carlson will be behind the bar with Axinte and Kuehner. It should be a pretty epic night!
Chef Jason Stoneburner’s happy hour menu will also be available. Guests can look forward to a selection of Tartines for $2, Beef Cheek Gougères for $5, Petite Moules Frites for $8, Falafel for $5, Croque Monsieur for $6, Bastille Burger for $8, and Dinah’s Cheese with white wine gelée and spiced hazelnuts for $7. Erik Carlson’s happy hour cocktails will also be available.
Future “Meet the Producer” Happy Hours will include winemakers, brewers, distillers, and artisans. Each happy hour will showcase specific products and have them available for guests to enjoy. A representative will also be on hand to answer questions and talk about their area of expertise and passion. New producers are being confirmed daily, and the goal is to make this a weekly or bi-monthly event.

Novo Fogo is a micro distillery living “the simpler life” in Morretes, Brasil and Bellevue, USA. From the organic certification to the painstakingly manual production process, Novo Fogo is 100% simpler life. “A vida mais simples” is a life philosophy created by the residents of our little mountain town in Brasil’s Atlantic Rainforest, Morretes. It seeks to peel the layers of dirt that surround our daily lives and get the individual back to the basics: family, friends, nature, food, and drink. Our distillery handcrafts all of its products, yields zero waste, and stands as both physical and symbolic steward of the rainforest frontier. To learn more, visit www.novofogo.com.
Opened in June of 2009 and housed in an historic 1920’s building in Seattle’s Old Ballard neighborhood, Bastille Café & Bar is a bustling homage to a Parisian brasserie. Owners Deming Maclise and James Weimann scoured Paris flea markets and local salvage stores for vintage accessories to create a truly authentic feel. From the white subway tiles, antique mirrors, and Paris Metro clock to the zinc-topped bar and stunning crystal chandelier that takes center stage in the Back Bar; they’ve truly hit the mark.
