On the 1st day of Christmas, my true love sent to me
A frosty beer just for me.

On the 2nd day of Christmas, my true love sent to me
Two friends a-laughing.

On the 3rd day of Christmas, my true love sent to me
Three stout ales.

On the 4th day of Christmas, my true love sent to me
Four full glasses.

On the 5th day of Christmas, my true love sent to me
Fiiiiive Tasty Shots

On the 6th day of Christmas, my true love sent to me
Six bars a crawling

On the 7th day of Christmas, my true love sent to me
Seven drinks a-swilling.

On the 8th day of Christmas, my true love sent to me
Eight drunks a-singing.

On the 9th day of Christmas, my true love sent to me
Nine bowls a-scorpion.

 On the 10th day of Christmas, my true love sent to me
Ten shots a-downing.

 On the 11th day of Christmas, my true love sent to me
Eleven pints guzzling.

On the 12th day of Christmas, my true love sent to me
Twelve bars a crawling.

12 Bars of X-Mas Registration Info

Posted on Updated on

We can’t wait to see you on Saturday for the 12 Bars of X-Mas.kdsjtmuh

We have a few points of order to help make the day as smooth as possible:

Registration opens at 12:00 sharp and ends at 3:00.

You will need to bring either a printed Eventbrite ticket or show the app on your phone. If you don’t have a paper ticket or the phone app, you can use your ID to pick up your ticket. Please be ready when you get to the top of the line. We’ll be checking in hundreds of crawlers and nobody wants to be stuck behind the person who doesn’t have any of their stuff ready. Only the ticket buyer needs to be present. If multiple tickets were bought, you’ll get all your goodies at once and you can pass on the extras to your friends.

Registration will be by last name by ticket buyer:

A – K  – Kinsale – 2 Center Plaza

L – Z – Paddy O’s – 25 Union Street

We realize that you may be separated from friends at the beginning but we’ve found this is the quickest way to get everyone registered as quickly and painlessly as possible.  Once we have you signed in, you’ll get your full schedule and you can meet your friends at any of our scheduled bars.

We will have around 20 tickets available for day of sales for $30. These are on a first come, first serve basis. EXACT CHANGE ONLY. They can be purchased at any of the above scheduled registration bars

Bar schedule:

kjdrYou will receive the entire schedule when you register. We have 12 bars total. All the bars will be in the Faneuil Hall and Financial District areas. We are not releasing the schedule prior to the crawl, as we want to keep this event as exclusive as possible for your own comfort. Please note, the bars have the right to refuse entry to anyone due to bar capacity or personal incapacity. Also, you will need to show a valid license or ID to gain entry to each of the bars (this is the bars’ policy).

CASH IS KING

I know that bringing your card might be easy. But when tons of people are trying to order drinks, it takes a lot more time to open and close a tab than to pay with cash. Plus you’d be surprised about how many people forget to close their tabs at the end of the night and leave for home without their credit cards. There are multiple ATMs around Faneuil Hall…check one out. Also, remember to tip your bartenders!

Remember to drink responsibly and use public transportation.  Don’t drink and drive!

MMHO: SBN Local Craft Brewfest

Posted on

sbnThis past Friday, we attended the 6th SBN Local Craft Brewfest. The SBN (Sustainable Business Network of Massachusetts) has a focus on local and sustainable businesses, so this is a festival you can feel good about attending.  All the vendors are local to New England, and you can taste beers and ciders, as well as locally distilled spirits.  They also have local musicians and food trucks, so it’s a great night out.  We’ve attended this event in the past, and they made a few changes this time around.  They moved the location from the relative splendor of the Moakley Courthouse to the slightly less aesthetically pleasing Cruiseport Boston, tucked further into the Seaport.  However, it was easy to get to by the Silver Line, made even more so by an especially helpful driver (who knew?) who realized a majority of the people on the bus were headed to the festival, and dropped us off directly in front of the building.  The space itself wasn’t bad, just not as nice a view as the courthouse has.  The set up was still nicely laid out, not too crowded and plenty of room. We splurged and went for the VIP tickets, which allowed for early access, vouchers for the food trucks, and a gift bag on the way out, which was filled with tchotchkes from various vendors, including Sam Adams pint glasses, bottle openers, and a ton of Kind Bars.   The event itself was amazing.  It was busy but not so crowded you had to wait in huge lines, and it was possible to actually chat with the vendors and learn about their products.  A word of warning, there are a lot of distilleries with liquor tastings, so we recommend eating something before you get there—you get small tastings, but they can add up!  Due to the relaxed nature, and getting to spend time with the vendors, we got a lot of ideas for some Thanksgiving and holiday cocktails.  For instance, we chatted with Lonnie from GrandTen Distillery about making a Cranberry Manhattan, which uses their Craneberry liquor as a float on the classic drink.  There were also samples of local food, and a few food trucks with food for purchase.  Overall, we would recommend checking out SBN’s next Local Craft Brewfest, and check out their website for their other upcoming events
