Hello, folks! It’s that time again;
let’s recap a few of the recent events we’ve had – and talk about some of the
best specials we are offering this week. It’s been a very exciting month, here
at Friendly Package Liquors!
Two weekends ago, we held our
second, annual, craft beer tasting at our Jackson
location. We ended up having a very good turn-out (regarding both that of the
breweries and representatives involved, as well as that of the patrons). There
were over twenty-five different types of craft beer to try, from nationally
recognized brews to a few beers brewed by Muncie ’s
first commercial brewery since the Muncie Brewing Co. was in existence. There
were some delicious finger-foods provided by Barn Brasserie (also based out of Muncie ). It was a very
nice event and a pleasure for all those involved!
Just last weekend, we hosted another one of our ever-popular Bourbon
tastings. A couple of highlighted items from that event would have to be the
‘Rebel Yell’ Bourbon – which for the price, can not be beat in quality!
Another item in the spotlight from
that tasting was ‘Bulleit Bourbon’, aged ten years (which proved to be of
impeccable quality, with a depth of flavor and smoothness that is only found in
truly exceptional Bourbon).
Believe it or not, there was even an
underdog liquor that came out of the corner swinging for a knockout, when they
brought out a gin, dubbed ‘Bone Dry’, to taste. Even folks who are not partial
to gin ended up enjoying the cocktail incorporating this high-quality spirit
(which lives up to the name, being bone-dry and delicious… without dropping too
many earthy or herbal notes normally associated with gin).
I would like to take this time to
remind everyone that in addition to the larger-scale events we periodically
host, we also put on a number of tastings regularly throughout the week. There
is a craft beer tasting that is held at our Yorktown location every
Wednesday, from 4:30pm-7:30pm. There is also a craft beer tasting held at our Jackson location on Thursdays from 6pm-8pm. We
put on liquor tastings Thursdays at both our Jackson AND Yorktown
locations. The Yorktown liquor
tasting is held Thursdays, 5pm-7:30pm – and the Jackson liquor tasting is held Thursdays 8pm-11pm. Finally, we have
a wine tasting at our Yorktown
location every Saturday, from 2pm-7pm! Stop by and try some samples from new
& popular items! Expand your horizons and try something different… You
never know what hidden gems you might find!
