FREE BEER 🍺 & BUTTER 🧈 TASTING!Join us this Sunday, July 20th, from 5pm-7pm to taste some incredible local craft beers while also trying our new spice mixes by Clean Brine Co & Pickling Solutions. These spice mixes were initially intended as brines for Thanksgiving turkeys, but the creator of these blends kept making incredible recipe after incredible recipe out of them. One of the many ways to use these spices are by grinding them and mixing with butter for a delicious compound butter. That's what we'll be sampling alongside the beers. We can't wait to enjoy these scrumptious spreads with you all!
Details for the event can be found here, https://www.facebook.com/share/1EJk8kVGY7/ . Hope to see you there!

FRIDAY, JULY 18. 6 PM
ROD MACDONALD at the Shrewsbury Meeting House
Rod is a gifted singer-songwriter, creating songs of social commentary and humanity's shared experiences. The good kind of tunes that get stuck in your head. A key player in NYC's folk revival, Rod performed at Greenwich Village hotspots like the Speakeasy and The Bottom Line, and co-founded the Greenwich Village Folk Festival. His songs have been covered by many artists, and he's appeared on stage with a myriad of performers on a list that reads like the Who's Who of American folk music. In addition to being a prolific song spinner, and with a background in the Army, law school, as a journalist, educator and novelist, Rod sees the world through many lenses, and his sweet tenor voice, harmonica and guitar help to tell the stories.
Please pay what you are able to with cash, check or Venmo contribution at the concerts. This is all about connecting with your community and having a good time with your neighbors. Bring a chair or blanket. If rainy, we move indoors.
For more info, call 802-558-2708, email singtolive57@gmail.com or follow us on Facebook: Shrewsbury Meeting House Concert Series.
This evening's food options will be provided by Marble Valley Kitchen.
