Copper & Kings American Brandy Co., 1121 E. Washington St., has the perfect locale and view of the Louisville skyline from their rooftop skydeck in Butchertown. In an effort to support the value, dedication and hard work of Kentucky teachers, the distillery is donating this space to Louisville-based nonprofit group Teach Kentucky for a Thunder Over Louisville viewing party and fundraiser Saturday, April 18. 

The event starts at 2 p.m. (to take advantage of the airshow) and includes barbecue from SmokeHawgs (vegetarian options available), music from the band A Lion Named Roar beginning at 7:30 p.m. and cash bar featuring a signature cocktail from Copper & Kings for $85 per person, with a discounted price of $45 per person for teachers and their guests. Family tickets are available for $200. All proceeds benefit Teach Kentucky's efforts to recruit, retain and support Louisville public school teachers.
