Welcome to Ticket Tuesdays, a new weekly chance for you to score entry to some of the hottest shows and events in the Bay Area.

It's that time of year again! Whiskies of the World 2013 is upon us, just in time to arm us with the knowledge of whisky and whiskey necessary to keep us warm through the spring and our typically chilly summer.

Almost any iteration of our favorite spirit will flow freely this year aboard the SF Belle Hornblower yacht, anchored at Pier 3 (phew!) on April 6 from 6-9 pm. That's three solid hours of the most delicious mass-produced and artisanal whiskies, accompanied by experts and ambassadors who are dedicated to spreading whiskey knowledge and appreciation. Come thirsty and leave a connoisseur.

Best of all? We can get you and a drinking buddy in for free. Just sign up for our newsletter below, and we'll choose a lucky winner at random to receive a pair of tickets. Winner will be notified via email on how to pick up tickets. Good luck!
