The event price included welcome drinks, a large spread of charcuterie, tour and a guided tiki-themed cocktail making class where we made 2 drinks. The women leading the tour was so genuinely passionate. It was so interesting to hear her explain the brewing process with such enthusiasm. Shes a valuable employee that made the experience memorable. I enjoyed learning about how the company has come up, from its beginnings. Great to see the whole process of making the vodka from dehydrated potatoes to the waxing of the bottles. The products by Boyd and Blair are delicious and quality. Their distribution and award accolades are seriously impressive. I really loved getting hands on and making interesting cocktails. The teacher was informative and helpful, creating a fun and dynamic class. I learned a lot and am now intrigued to try more at home cocktail making. I will be shopping for some of the tools, bitters and ingredients that we used during class. Staff was friendly and knowledgeable and friendly. Great dynamic experience I would recommend to anyone.

I stopped by here earlier today with my wife for some evening beverages. I originally wasn't…read moreplanning on Acrospire, but it ended up being our audible whenever the Pirates game was ending at the same time we were heading out. The inside of this brewery has a relaxed, open vibe with plenty of natural wood tables, metal chairs, a visible brewing area in the back, and colorful string lights hanging across the ceiling. There's a chalkboard mural on the wall and a Pride flag (since it was Pride month) adding to the welcoming atmosphere. There's also a well-stocked kids corner with books, puzzles, games, and art supplies, which is a great touch for families like ours. Outside of the beer, it looks like they often host different food vendors inside the kitchen space. As I often do when visiting a new brewery, I decided to go with a flight. It consisted of five beers: Joe Brown (coffee brown ale), Hear No Evil (honey ginger wheat), Honeycomb (oat honey ale), ChatBRU (west coast IPA), and Apple Pie Sour (sour ale). First up was the Joe Brown and it started with a solid coffee flavor and finished with rich toasted malts. Up second was the Hear No Evil which was A bold honey ginger wheat with ginger dominating from start to finish, leaving a lingering spice on the palate. Thurs was the Honeycomb which has Sweetness from the honey hit up front, followed by a more mellow oat finish. Fourth was the ChatBRU which was Smooth at first before diving into hoppy bitterness that lingered long after the sip. Last and certainly not least was the Apple Pie Sour. My first sip was mostly the cinnamon and sugar rim, which added a nice touch with a little salt on the finish. The second sip, without the rim, delivered a strong apple flavor that lingered nicely. I could absolutely see how they named it, as it genuinely tasted like apple pie. Out of the bunch, I ended up liking the Apple Pie Sour the most, closely followed by the Joe Brown. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. I enjoyed my beers, and my wife and I found it to be a super chill place. We loved that we could possibly bring our kids thanks to the thoughtful kids corner.

We were in Zelienople for a musical and stumbled upon this newly opened winery. Apparently, there…read morewas a winery here in the past, but this one just opened up. We were warmly greeted by Todd and Gina, the owners, who couldn't have been friendlier. Todd told us all about their wines, including the awards they've won, especially in California, and generously offered us the chance to try any of the wines at no cost. We started with the Gruner Veltliner, a bright, citrusy, and crisp wine. It was extremely dry compared to other Gruners we've had, which are usually more fruit-forward, but it was still quite enjoyable. Next, we tried the Riesling, which was also very good. My wife moved over to the semi-sweet side and tried the Traminette, which I eventually sampled after trying all the dry wines. We both really liked it. I then tried the Cabernet Franc, which was a medium-bodied wine with notes of raspberry, blueberry, and a light mocha oakiness--delicious! The Chambourcin was also quite good, without the typical bite or tartness. Lastly, the Flagship Red, a classic Bordeaux-style dry red, had a pleasant hint of pepper and was definitely a standout. Todd shared that they exclusively offer wines from Stony Run Vineyards in Breinigsville, PA, which has a wide selection. They're also planning to offer Old Fashioneds soon, as their winery includes a distillery, and they'll be featuring a "drink of the week" as well. What really sets this place apart, though, is Todd and Gina themselves. They're genuinely kind people who are dedicated to the community, and it was heartwarming to learn that they both served in the US Military--Todd in the Navy and Gina in the Air Force. We're already looking forward to our next visit when we're in the area again. Don't forget to thank them for their service when you stop by!

This was our first visit to this new distillery up in Lawrenceville which has become one of the…read morehottest places in the city. They're the happening place to visit distilleries and breweries and now cocktail bars. We had the great opportunity to meet Kenyan Hicks the owner and distiller of Noire Distillery. He provided us a history of the different spirits that they offer. Noire Blanc is a gin that is about love, represents both he and his wife as they collaborated on this bottle. It has a strong meaning behind it that represents their relationship and provides a unique but good taste to a gin that I personally can sip on vs just mixing with a cocktail. We had the regular gin but still had a terrific taste, they have a bottle that is in collaboration with unspeakable3920 next door and can be sampled here, but only purchased next door. It's another special bond that represents another great spirit. Now my favorite was the rested gin. I had recently learned while traveling that gin is being aged in barrels. He had one that he aged in a barrel over a short period of time. The flavors that we received was cinnamon up front and nutmeg on the back end. It's at 105 proof, provides a rich and unique taste to a gin that can be a sipper vs traditionally mixing as a cocktail. He said he didn't lose much while aging in a barrel from Wigle Whiskey. Highly recommend giving this new business an opportunity. It has a strong growth in this industry in the Pittsburgh region.

I enjoyed that the dry wines weren't so mouth drying. The sweet wines were very fruit forward, which helped minimize any potential for extreme sweetness. I particularly enjoyed the Bear (dry-red) and the Lemon Essence (fruit). I particularly want to commend on the lemon wine as I typically hate anything lemon flavor because it tastes artificial. I'm glad my partner (who loves everything lemon dessert flavored) decided to try this flavour because I fell in love. Tonight there was a cover band playing. They were good, just wish it hadn't been so loud as it made it a little difficult to have a conversation. Overall, I would definitely return to this winery!
