BeerGasm

The Southington Chamber of Commerce held the BeerGasm Spring Indoor Block Party at the Witchdoctor Brewing Company on Thurday May 10, 2018. I love attending events with food and alcohol (if you couldn’t already tell). Also, I am a huge fan of supporting local businesses. In other words, when you do, you support a dream.

The admission price included a free glass and a first free pint from Witchdoctor Brewing Company. I tried the Tropica double IPA and my boyfriend got the Haze-A-Faire New England-Style IPA. However, mine tasted better and not just because it had the highest alcohol content. It tasted like a lot of care was put into the brewing process. Not to be cheesy, but you can actually taste the love and care that the people from Witchdoctor Brewing put in. The Tropica tasted like summertime in a glass.

Food

I’d be lying if I told you that Ideal Tavern‘s duck confit egg roll wasn’t one of the best egg rolls I ever had. Trust me, I know egg rolls). Definitely have to have dinner there soon. They handed me a menu and I was drooling, everything sounds so delicious, artsy, creative, and perfect for a future date night. We bought two bags of jerky from Mister B’s Jerky Co., a local jerky store in the town center of Southington. We got beef jerky in Cajun and BBQ flavors and will swing by the shop to replenish our supply when we inevitably run out.

We also got a free key-shaped bottle opener from Escapism. They are an up-and-coming escape room opening in June. The four themes to choose from: nuclear meltdown, haunted encounter, Egyptian tomb, and bank heist. I cannot wait to be able to test my puzzle-solving abilities when they open.

Music

The live band sounded great and their covers of 80’s hits were great. The aesthetic of the venue itself was beautiful. The brewery has an exposed ceiling, renovated brick-covered factory, and modern/contemporary vibe. The tables suspended with wire caught my boyfriend’s eye and he called them a masterful piece of engineering. He builds houses for a living.

Final Thoughts on BeerGasm

In conclusion, the BeerGasm event was a wonderful little showcase of some of the unique, wonderful local businesses we have to offer in Southington, Connecticut and I look forward to the next one!

Something old, some thing new. My boyfriend accidentally agreed for us to attend two events happening at the same time on the same day. Our options were to either celebrate an old marriage (50th anniversary) or a new marriage (Jack and Jill). We were the only couple brave enough to offend both parties and make an appearance at both. In other words, leaving a party early/showing up late at another). It all worked out though.

The first event was the Jack & Jill. My boyfriend joked about how he literally changed the diapers of the groom-to-be and how he was getting old. They gave away sugar eggs as party favors, held raffles with tons of cool prizes, and had a 50/50.

The anniversary party was at the couple’s house instead of a restaurant. They had old wedding photos hanging from balloons, they recreated their wedding party photos, and there were plenty of refreshments. There was a bar, cupcakes, chocolate fountain, candy, etc… Both events were beautiful and it is great to see how love can be celebrated with friends and family, old or new.

When you’re accidentally double-booked for events do you celebrate a new marriage or an old one? Something old or something new?
