We stopped in on a Saturday afternoon and it was pretty crowded, but we got the last picnic table/umbrella. There was a line inside to order our drinks but it moved pretty quickly. The whiskey flight that my boyfriend tried included 5 different whiskeys that they make on site for $35. I had the cucumber cooler $12.50 and didn't like it. The melon purée that they added had too much pulp and the drink was not enjoyable. Next time, I would love to try their cucumber vodka with plain club soda. They had a large list of cocktails and you are able to purchase all of their liquors inside. They had a pulled pork station and a few other food options. Overall, it's small but very enjoyable. I like the atmosphere much more than Jones's winery since it's more laid back.

Not too long ago I experienced my first beer with Front Porch Brewing and really enjoyed it!…read moreI had Neil's Samoa Donut Stout. This is categorized as a pastry stout and I really like those but have to be in the right mood for one. Preferably during the colder months out of the year. Apparently there are a few variations with the donut stout but as the name implies I got the Samoa version. What makes up in the flavor and texture profile is a sweet, smooth, chocolate, creamy and rich beer that Steve and I shared. A whole pint of this might have been too much for me but Steve and I shared it which made it proportioned quite well. A wonderful start with this brewery and would love to try the other donut versions of this stout! I saw a French Toast one that also caught my eye!

Front Porch Brewing Company is a craft brewery that opened in Wallingford, Connecticut in November…read more2017. It was founded by business partners James Flynn, Drew Peccerillo, Tiffany Ulrich and Ryan Voytek. Flynn began home brewing about five years earlier in a friend's backyard and eventually moved to brewing on his front porch (hence the name of the brewery). After he started getting better at home brewing, he decided to turn his hobby into a business. The small brewery brews a variety of different styles but mainly brews different kinds of IPAs and Sours. The small brewery and taproom has a one-barrel system and can only brew a small amount of beer at a time. They occasionally enlist the help of brewery collectives such as The Beeracks in East Haven or Twelve Percent Beer Project in North Haven in order to produce and distribute beer on a much larger scale. I've been visiting Front Porch Brewing since not long after they first opened. On my first visit, I ordered a flight which consisted of a Belgian Dubbel, a Session IPA, a Sour IPA, and a Pale Ale. The latter (named "Devil Children") was my favorite and the ABV appropriately clocked in at 6.66%. My most recent visit was this weekend to pick up some new cans that they released. Both new beers were brewed on a larger scale at Twelve Percent Beer Project and were available at both Twelve Percent and Front Porch's taproom. The first offering was a Double IPA called "Leaving So Soon?" It's aggressively brewed with Citra, Strata, Galaxy, and El Dorado hops. It had some lovely tropical notes from all of the different hops. It clocks in at 8% ABV and each can features alternating artwork that sort of resembles tarot cards. The second offering is an Imperial Pastry Stout called "Neil's French Toast Donut Stout". It was brewed in collaboration with Neil's Donuts (with locations in Wallingford and Middletown) and made with a generous amount of their French Toast donuts. It clocks in at 10% ABV and has a delicious aroma of donuts. I later stopped at Neil's to get some donuts to dunk into the beer! Delicious!! Well done everyone!

When I first walked into this liquor store, I stopped and turned around to make sure I walked into…read morethe right store. It has a vibe and look of a boutique. I've been to hundreds of liquor stores as I work in the industry and have never seen anything like it. All of the items were carefully curated and almost as part of the design element. I found some fantastic options available and bought a high-end wine and vodka too. I even bought a couple of pairs of earrings that were wine related. The owner was super nice and very helpful. The prices are reasonable, and the store feels more like an experience than an errand. They change out decorations for each holiday, and I'm looking forward to coming back to see what's next and to try another great wine or liquor. My new go-to liquor store and I don't even live in town!

The beer is top notch - lots of variety, and not just a lineup of hazebois. They had a really delicious peanut butter porter that we ended up taking a growler of home with us. We will be back!

I had two samples and ended up falling in love with the Big T IPA. Their craft beer selection is outstanding! The space itself is gorgeous. The outdoor patio is beautiful, bright, and inviting, totally ideal for sunny afternoons or a relaxed evening with friends. Inside, things were quiet when I arrived, but it quickly started filling up. Service was just as impressive. My bartender greeted me with a genuine smile and gave spot-on recommendations. The food? Fantastic. Over the top. I ordered the Poutine. The fries were perfectly crispy, the queso was rich and flavorful, and the egg on my dish was absolute perfection. Everything was fresh, hearty, and designed to complement the beer list. I almost ordered the frittata (which I hear is massive) and definitely plan to try a pizza next time. Even though it's about an hour's drive for me, ClockTown Brewing is worth the trip.

I had the mozzarella sticks, smash burger, and churros. All were warm and so filling. I tried their beer, and I'm sure it was great for those who like beer!

I just visited Bones & Botanicals for their grand re-opening weekend. Although I love Bones &…read moreBotanicals, my biggest complaint about the old location was that it was a little too small. The new location is much larger and it's so close to The Gilded Curtain. I was so happy to see Jeremy & Sarah, the new space, all of the new decor, and the new menu. After exploring all of the witch decor, I pulled up a seat at the bar and perused the menu. Since my last visit, I have actually given up alcohol. This is no problem at Bones & Botanicals: they have plenty of non-alcoholic options. Throughout my visit, I enjoyed the mocktails "Apple of my Chai" (chai tea, housemade apple cider concentrate, lemon, topped w/ ginger beer), "Azurite" (cold brew lavender tea, housemade blueberry syrup & lemon juice, club soda), and "The Little Sister Maiden" (butterfly pea tea, housemade syrup w/ butterfly pea tea, lavender & vanilla, lemon juice, topped w/ club soda). I enjoyed them all, but the latter was my favorite. In addition to being very flavorful, they also had great presentation. I thoroughly enjoyed my visit to the new Bones & Botanicals and I think that the Gliddens are going to do very well here! I highly recommend a visit to either of their establishments!

I got a blueberry no-jito and it was so refreshing.
