Field Study by Slow Drinks Brings a Citywide Celebration of Cocktails, Food, Fermentation & Hospitality to Philadelphia
Philly’s food and beverage scene will take center stage this June as Field Study by Slow Drinks arrives for a full day and night dedicated to cocktails, fermentation, agriculture, hospitality culture, and collaborative creativity.
Presented in partnership with Heaven Hill Brands, the immersive event takes place Thursday, June 4, with programming hosted at Philadelphia Distilling during the day before continuing with a late-night collaborative pop-up at Vernick Fish.
The daytime experience at Philadelphia Distilling will feature an open-format “science fair” concept where guests can explore interactive stations from bars, farms, fermenters, hospitality projects, and food producers from around the country. Attendees can expect tastings, demonstrations, conversations, cocktails, food pairings, and educational panels throughout the afternoon.
The event is designed to spotlight the evolving relationship between food systems, beverage culture, sustainability, and hospitality innovation while creating space for collaboration between some of the industry’s most exciting names.
The evening portion shifts to Vernick Fish, where guest bartenders and visiting teams will take over the space for a special collaborative cocktail pop-up featuring one-night-only drinks and creative menu offerings. The nighttime experience is first come, first served.
Participating collaborators across the series include teams from:
- The Dead Rabbit
- Silver Lyan
- De Vie
- Blue Hill at Stone Barns
- La Jefa
- Almanac
- Plowshare Farms
- Succession Fermentory
- Mortal Minds Coffee
- Slow Food
Field Study will continue its multi-city run with additional stops at Silver Lyan in Washington D.C. on June 7 and The Dead Rabbit in New York City on June 9.
Tickets for the Philadelphia daytime experience are available now through Tock, with all proceeds benefiting the Slow Food Bartenders Alliance. Organizers say the event aims to create deeper conversations around sustainability, hospitality, and the future of food and beverage culture while showcasing the collaborative spirit that defines the industry today.
