To celebrate the release of 4 new blends and show appreciation to our Blender’s Circle members, we’re hosting 6 days of tastings accompanied with specially selected food pairings exclusively for Blender’s Circle members. On February 3-5th and 10th-12th, our Countryside Brewery will be closed to the public in order to host this beer-and-food pairing experience!

Reservations can be made on Fridays for 4, 5, and 6pm time slots. Saturday-Sunday reservations can be made for 12, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5pm time slot. All reservations are for 2-hour time slots, which start with the release pairings.

As a Blender’s Circle member, you will have the opportunity to RSVP for the event beginning January 30th, so watch your email for the link! You must RSVP to attend and show up during your 2-hour reservation window. After tasting through the releases and pairings, you can customize which bottles you take home so you get more of what you love!

At the release, you’ll be seated at a table outside with your group to taste through the new beers and enjoy hand-selected small bite food pairings. If you finish within 2 hours and would like another glass of beer or to order some food, you’re more than welcome to stay and enjoy your time!

We can’t wait to see you at the release! If you’re not a member yet but would like to join the club before the release, you can sign up here!
