Join us on Monday, January 25th as we team up with our good friends at Shift Drinks to help out one of the Multnomah Whiskey Library’s nearest and dearest.

Jason Carlisle has not only been an integral part of the Library since opening, but has made a lasting impression on each and every employee, member, and guest with whom he meets. Whether he’s banging around on his drumset, or stirring one of the best Old Fashioned you’ll ever have the oppportunity of tasting, his knowledge, passion, and attitude are unmatched, and provide daily inspiration to us all. Unfortunately, fate has taken a doleful turn for Jason.

In 2011, Jason was diagnosed with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia, and has since been locked in an ongoing battle with the disease. For the last 3 months, he has been in the hospital in Seattle, undergoing experimental CAR-T cell therapy, which has disappointingly proved ineffective. Now his only remaining treatment option is a (very costly) bone marrow transplant.

To show our support and help offset these massive costs, we are pairing up with Shift Drinks to throw a benefit for Jason at 7pm on Monday, January 25th at Shift Drinks. The event will feature delicious cocktails and food, served up by a spectacular list of guest bartenders:

Alise Moffatt and Beau Burtnick {Shift Drinks}
Lucas Plant and Daniel Osborne {Bull In China}
Jordan Felix and Adam Wyatt-Jones {Multnomah Whiskey Library}
Tyler Stevens and Tony Contreras {Teardrop Lounge}

All proceeds and tips will be donated to helping Jason and his loved ones through this difficult time, and to further Jason’s continuing fight for a cure. To donate now, or find out more information about Jason’s battle, visit https://www.youcaring.com/jason-carlisle-483358 , where you can join up with those who have been helping raise money for Jason’s cause.

Please join us at Shift Drinks and give generously to one of our finest friends. Raise a glass to Jason and enjoy good company while helping him get back to his family here at the Library and across Portland.
