ROMP Bourbon Barrel Release
You’ll have the chance to get your hands on a special-edition ROMP bourbon for the first time this week! On June 20 from 4:30-6:30 p.m., head over to Green River Distilling Co. to purchase a bottle of the first-ever ROMP single barrel to celebrate its 20th anniversary in style. ROMP attendees who signed the initial barrel at the 2018 festival will have the chance to taste the bourbon that was aged inside it over the last five years. The bourbon is presented at full-proof, 110-proof and will be on sale for $59.99.

During ROMP week, the BMHFM will host a variety of special activities! Trolleys can take you from ROMP to the Hall of Fame for a special taping of Radio Bristol’s Farm and Fun Time on June 24 from noon-2 p.m.!
