Call Center Company in Arvada, CO

Award-winning Arvada-based whiskey makers Talnua Distillers have set up shop in Olde Town for a very special occasion — St. Patrick’s Day!

The distiller’s pop-up is running from March 10 to March 15 only, though the Talnua team has made the unit next to the Arvada Tavern feel quite homey as they seek to get the word out about their brand and their St. Patrick’s Day special release, Olde Saint’s Keep.

Meagan Miller, Talnua’s co-founder and vice president, said the pop-up aims to raise awareness for the company’s annual St. Patrick’s Day party at their distillery located at 5405 W 56th Ave and came about due to their friendship with the owners of the Arvada Tavern.

“It’s kind of a marketing thing to get people to our event on Friday and Saturday and promote Olde Saint’s Keep, which is our annual special release that we do on St. Patrick’s Day for our anniversary party,” Miller said. “It’s kind of a once in a lifetime opportunity for us where, (Arvada Tavern Owner) Mike (Huggins) wants to fill that space very soon.

“And so it was like ‘We got to jump on this, and see if it works,’ because we did the Winter Markets this winter and realized that even people who live in Arvada don’t really know about us, and we’ve been around for six years now,” Miller continued. “So yeah, that was kind of the goal is to just tell people about us and get them to our location.”

The annual St. Patrick’s Day party at Talnua’s distillery features music, food trucks and a mobile cigar lounge, as well as whiskey tastings. The distillery is the only place where bottles of Olde Saint’s Keep — a single pot, triple distilled whiskey that was aged for four years and nine months before bottling — is available.

Miller said Olde Saint’s Keep sells out earlier and earlier every year, as only 1,000 bottles are made annually. Last year, the release was gone by August.

The pop-up menu includes a handful of whiskey-based cocktails (and one non-alcoholic option) curated by Talnua’s beverage director. Single pours of Talnua whiskey — including Olde Saints Keep — will be available on Friday and Saturday.

While Miller said the company does not have plans to operate a bar full-time, she was excited to see how the pop-up goes.

“We don’t have the bandwidth to have two locations right now — maybe eventually we would — but it’s just an experiment to see how things go,” Miller said.
