SUMMARY:Elysian and Kona Island Beer Tasting
DESCRIPTION:A brewery from Seattle\, Washington and new to Massachusetts\, Elysian is a great new addition to our collection of beer. \nBill had a fire in his eyes when he heard we could finally get their delightfully hoppy Space Dust IPA and it has been a feature in our cooler ever since. \nAnd if that were not enough\, we will also be tasting Kona Island Brewery’s beers! This Hawaiian brewery is perfect for the summer weather that has (finally) arrived. You might have noticed we have Kona’s 12 packs on sale (the lowest price in the state no less: 10.75 +dep per 12 pack) and if you wanted a chance to try it first\, this is your chance!

SUMMARY:Colonial Spirits' Annual Summer Bash
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to Colonial Spirits’ 4th Annual Summer Bash.\nThe Summer Bash might be\, outside of Oktoberfest\, our favorite event of the year. Unlike our samplings and seminars\, the Summer Bash is a time for fun and festivities. It marks the beginning of summer\, the season of get-togethers and slower days. Summer may be too hot for some\, but with the right people and the right drink in your hand\, it makes for some of the best stories. The first of which is right here. \nWith a tasting lineup that is sure to chill you down\, plenty of BBQ (hot dogs and burgers)\, and a few yard games this will be our biggest and badest event yet. Beer\, liquor\, wine\, and mixed drinks will be sampled throughout the afternoon. Take a step outside and you will find one of our very own manning the grill along with favorite yard games. Bocce anyone? We may bring back cornhole as well\, but now I’m getting ahead of myself. \nInstead of stating the reasons you should go\, I’m going to say\, “GO!” Life is about making memories\, so why not make one with us. \nThe line-up:\nWither Hills Wine Sampling: Sauvignon Blanc and Rosé — 2-5 PM\nBlue Chair Bay Rums — 1-5 PM\nNight Shift Brewing — 1-5 PM\nFounders Brewing — 1-4 PM\nVictory Brewing — 1-5 PM\nDowneast Cider House — 1-5 PM\nCraft Distributors (The Bruery & Saison Dupont) — 1-5 PM\nAtlas Distributors — 1-5 PM\nAtlantic Distributors — 1-5 PM\nTy Ku Sake — 1-5 PM

SUMMARY:New Belgium Tasting
DESCRIPTION:When I started working at Colonial Spirits I would often get questions about New Belgium. Most commonly: Did we have any? Alas\, New Belgium had not yet arrived in Massachusetts and I could not supply any. But now! Now it is available and it was worth the wait. From their famous amber ale\, Fat Tire to their refreshing IPA\, Citradelic this brewery has earned its reputation as one of the biggest craft breweries in the United States.

SUMMARY:Artifact Cider Tasting
DESCRIPTION:It’s a fact that making cider is an art and Artifact Cider is the proof. From Everett\, Massachusetts this cidery uses only locally sourced apples and has a creative selection of unique and tasty ciders. \nWith a market saturated with hard ciders\,  Artifact Cider has distinguished itself as  a craft cider willing to go against the grain\, using techniques such as barrel-aging\, and wild yeast fermentation.

SUMMARY:Colonial Spirits' Homebrew Competition
DESCRIPTION:Ever wonder what it takes to homebrew?\nThen this is the event for you. Home brewing\, at the heels of craft brewing\, has exploded. More and more basement/garages are turning into brewing stations and more and more homebrewers are becoming bonified brewers. However\, not every homebrewer is looking to expand past the limits of their current walls. But who doesn’t like to think they could make it BIG? Who doesn’t want to see their homebrew make it? This is the event for those dreamers. \nBill has hand selected a few local homebrewers for all to try and cast votes. The idea here is to have fun and offer up your thoughts while learning what it takes to homebrew if you don’t already do it. Some of the contestants have been homebrewing for quite some time\, while others are new to the game. All are willing to put their work on the line to see how it stacks up. \n \nThis event is open to all whether you know your different hop varieties and the flavors they impart or are just getting a grasp on IPAs.\nThis is how it will work. The event will be taking place at our store on Saturday\, April 29 from 1-5 PM. Entries will be placed in one of two categories\, light and dark beers. Tasters will try a few and once they have had their share will cast their vote picking their favorites. Votes will be tallied at the end of the event and the winner will be announced via email\, FB\, and Instagram. One winner per category. \nWe want everyone to stop by and sample through a few of the homebrews as this is a great opportunity to learn about beers. Homebrewers are serious beer enthusiasts that take the time to come up with mash bills and brew templates. They may not all be chemical engineers but their knowledge of what it takes and ‘how to’ is still vast and most are willing to share that knowledge. \nLooking to learn about homebrewing so you don’t come off as a noob?

SUMMARY:Wachusett

SUMMARY:Down the Road
DESCRIPTION:Hailing from Everett\, we have been carrying Down the Road since they first started brewing beer.  Over the last few years\, these guys have kept on chugging along and producing ales and lagers that have earned a good amount of buzz in this beer world of ours.  It has been a while since we have had them come in to pour their offerings so we’re gunna change that.  Mike from Down the Road will be here tasting beers like Seventh Star IPA\, Pukwudgie Pale Ale\, Springheel Jack London Porter\, and their Cherry Feyborn Berliner Weisse.  THis is a brewery that is gathering a dedicated following and significant buzz in Massachusetts\, which isn’t always easy in this market overflowing with great sudz.

SUMMARY:O'Hara's Irish Ales
DESCRIPTION:In order to make sure everyone is making the most informed decision they can on Saint Patrick’s Day\, we are bringing Ireland’s less known brewery in for a tasting.  O’Hara’s as been doing their thing since 1996\, but while relatively new to the game compared to some of the other Irish Breweries\, they make beers that stand up to anything else coming from the Emerald Isle.  We’ll be pouring out everything these guys send our way\, so give them a change before reaching for something else.

SUMMARY:Night Shift
DESCRIPTION:Night Shift has been making some of the best beer in the state for a while now\, but they were always just out of reach of our shelves.  Then\, just before Christmas\, that all changed.  Since bringing them in to the store\, we have had over 10 different beers from them.  And you\, the consumer\, have been enjoying it.  We run through dozens of cases a week and they just keep sending us fresh\, hop forward cans as well as funky and sour bottles. \nIt took a little bit\, but we are finally having the Everett brewers in for a tasting.  If you have never tried Night Shift\, come down.  We know our beer and are constantly exploring what is out there\, so please trust me when I say that they are one of the top breweries in Massachusetts.  Their offerings change from week to week\, depending on what they have just brewed\, but know that what we are pouring will be fresh\, flavorful\, and well made.

SUMMARY:Pre-Valentine's Day Tasting
DESCRIPTION:In preparation for the Hallmark holiday\, we’re having a tasting with some beers that share the flavors of the usual Valentine’s day gifts.  Lindeman’s makes some of the best fruit added sour/funky beers and has for centuries.  We will have two of their berry varients\, Kriek and Framboise.  To go with the berries\, we’ll have Samuel Smith’s Organic Chocolate stout.  This stout has a Tootsie Roll style chocolate flavor that pairs well with deserts as well as fresh fruit.  Come try them all along side of tasty food pairings to see if this is what your Valentine would like.

SUMMARY:Stony Creek
DESCRIPTION:Stony Creek hasn’t even been in Massachusetts for a full year and they are already popping up everywhere.  Beautiful logos\, interesting styles and a strong command of hops\, these Connecticut brewers are not trying to fly away anytime soon.  Just in time for our tasting\, they have just released Stony Joe\, a golden mocha stout.  Golden stouts are going to start popping up more and more.  They are just what they sound like\, a stout that pours golden yellow.  It’s a style I am still figuring out\, so get in on the early days to say you’ve had one.   On top of Stony Joe\, we’ll be tasting the Crankys in varying sizes.

SUMMARY:Dovetail Sake Tasting
DESCRIPTION:I am extremely excited for this tasting as these Sakes are the real deal. The best part? They are produced right here in MA. \nTodd Bellomy\, head brewer at Dovetail\, honed his art in Japan and brought here to Massachusetts with one thing in mind\, freshness. Because most of the Sakes available to us are either from Japan\, California or Oregon they aren’t as fresh as they could be. He wanted to change this by producing actual Sake using traditional methods and getting it to restaurants and retailers as fresh as possible. I would keep going on the subject but I wouldn’t do it nearly as much justice as the Boston Magazine did with the article Drink This Now: Nakahama Junmai\, by Dovetail Sake. (<– Link) \nIf that article doesn’t get you I bet anything the product will. \n*Swirl\, Sniff\, & Sip

SUMMARY:Goose Island Bourbon County Vintage Tasting
DESCRIPTION:With all the Goose Island fever going around here at Colonial\, what better way to end it all that with our biggest tasting of them all.  On December 7th\, starting at 6pm\, we will be opening bottles of Bourbon County Brand Stout\, Coffee\, and Barleywine going back to at least 2013.  While we are keeping the line up close to the chest for a while\, I will divulge that we will be opening some special bottles from previous years.  Which ones?  How old?  There is only one way of finding out.  This was a very popular event last year\, so make sure to keep an eye out for that special Hop on the Bus email.  Like last year\, you will have to RSVP and pay for your ticket.  Space was very limited last year with only 20 spots and it is looking like that will be the case again this year.  While this event is still a ways away\, but I would like plant the seed early.  Stay alert\, because a tasting of this caliber only comes once a year.

SUMMARY:Jack's Abby Kiwi Rising Tasting
DESCRIPTION:Previously in 500ml\, Jack’s Abby Kiwi Rising\, their double IPL with freshly harvested New Zealand hops\, will be in 4 pack cans.  It’s an awesome beer\, so to celebrate and spread the word\, we will have them come in to taste all who pass with this fresh IPL.  Jack’s Hoponius Union is becoming a staple brand for Massachusetts and their Excess IPL\, a sister to Kiwi Rising\, moves off our shelves constantly.  New Zealand hops have a crisp and clean flavor\, so paired with the light body of a lager\, Jack’s Abby makes an easy drinking\, flavorful IPL.  Come join us Saturday December 3rd\, 2-4pm.

SUMMARY:Goose Island Wild Ale #2
DESCRIPTION:We did this back in October and it was a lot of fun.  So much fun that we decided to do it all over again.  December 2nd\, starting at 6pm\, we will be opening bottles of Sofie and Matilda from this year as well as bottles of Lolita\, Juliet\, Halia\, Madame Rose\, and Gillian all from 2015. With wild ales like these\, we found that giving them a year to sit and mellow out was the right call\, so we’re doing it again.  Keep an eye out for an email in which you can RSVP to.  This was a fun\, relaxed tasting in which we had some fun with some very nice\, rather expensive beers.  It is a great opportunity to try a $30 bottle of fruit added sour ale without paying the $30 price tag.  It does hurt that instead of one\, we will be tasting five.

SUMMARY:GOOSE ISLAND BLACK FRIDAY!!
DESCRIPTION:For the second year in a row we will host the Goose Island Black Friday Bourbon Country release. This was a huge success last year and we don’t see why it won’t be again. We will be opening our doors at 9am on Friday\, November 25th. Once the doors open\, we will be funneling people into our tasting room where we will have the Barleywine\, Coffee\, and Brand Stout. It will be first come\, first serve\, so I would recommend getting here early. To put it in perspective\, the first people showed up last year around 5:30am. We will have a limit on the Brand Stout\, but it will be over a case. We have not decided the limits on the Barleywine yet\, but due to the lack of stock on Coffee\, we will be limiting it to one bottle per person. We will also have previous years’ Barleywine and Brand Stout for sale as well. \nWhile waiting in line and walking around the store\, we will be pouring samples of the 2016 Brand Stout\, 2014 Brand Stout and 2014 Barleywine as well as be handing out free pastries. Hopefully everyone will not eat so much the day before that they cannot wolf down a few sweet treats.
