This Friday! A Great Event for Beer Lovers! Hops on Hopmeadow Beer Tasting

Long “the” place to stop for a bite to eat for weary coach and canal travelers, and known for serving local ale, Simsbury’s historic Phelps Tavern will once again be open for business! It’s one night only, but the evening will be like days of old when the Simsbury Historical Society hosts “Hops on Hopmeadow,” a specialty beer tasting event.

The evening will feature cold-craft beer from three of Connecticut’s great micro-breweries --Broad Brook Brewing Company, Back East Brewers and Olde Burnside Brewery.  Guests will enjoy food provided by local eateries, a silent auction, convivial conversation and music provided by Timothy Scott. Brewers will discuss brewing basics and provide an insider’s view of the micro-brew industry; visitors can drop in at anytime during the 5:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. event on October 25.  Reservations are required: $25 Historical Society members, $35 for non-members (includes beer tasting and one year membership in SHS); guests must be 21 or older and show a valid ID. 

Reservations required (by October 23) - contact programs@simsburyhistory.org or 860-658-2500.
