A bit under the radar so far, the “new” Cisco Brewers, Nantucket Wines, and Triple Eight Distillery have opened their new digs out on Bartlett farm Road. There are now three seperate tasting rooms surrounding a stone courtyard. The rooms are all tasteful and functional, in the style you would expect for the Harmon’s, Hudson’s, and Long’s. Tasting dinners will start soon - I’ll let you know when. It’s a great place for a party, and is available to rent for your event. Tell them you heard about it here, and you won’t get a discount, but I might get some free Whales Tale Pale Ale or Triple 8 Vodka out of the deal. Some photos:
