The Chrontourage is the Austin Chronicle’s promotions street team
Austin is full of fantastic chances to delight your senses but this event will be one that you remember for a long time. The Berry Fairy will be hosting a special “flavor tripping” event tonight at the Belmont!
If you’ve never heard of flavor tripping before, here is the scoop from the press release:
The Berry Fairy is bringing Miracle Berry Flavor Tripping to Austin, TX.
A portion of the event’s proceeds will be donated to the local charity We Are Learning.Miracle berries are a native West African fruit that have an extraordinary effect when consumed. The “miracle” is that everything sour and bitter eaten afterwards will taste sweet for up to 2 hours. Lemons will taste like lemonade, vinegar like apple juice, goat cheese like cream cheese frosting, and stout beers like chocolate milk!
Admission includes one miracle berry and a bacchanalian banquet of foods specially selected for the flavor tripping. Tito’s Vodka will be sponsoring a mad-mixologist vodka bar for guests to create their own taste-defying tonics.
Tickets to the event are $40 but they are offering a special discount to Chronicle readers if you purchase them at http://belmont731.eventbrite.com/?discount=chronpromo
We are also giving away a pair of tickets to tonight’s event!
