Backyard Beer Tasting at the Maple Corner Community Store
Saturday, May 7th 4:30-6:30
With hosts David Ellenbogen, John Rosenblum, Betty Copeland, Mike Woodfield, Ram Verma and Olivia Gay

Although the Whammy Bar is still closed*, we're happy to offer you tastes of some delicious beers from Vermont breweries Burlington Beer, Four Quarters, Foley Brothers, Green Empire, and Mayflower in Massachusetts. We’ll start with a pilsner, then some India Pale Ales and end up with the ‘Shot in the Dark’, combining Mayflower Porter, a shot of strong 802 Coffee, and capped with a splash of delectable maple syrup from down the road at the Kents’ Corner Sugarhouse.

We’ll have the special treat of hearing the local band Broken String with JC Myers on guitar and vocals, Sid Morse on bass, Paul Knight on mando and Patty on vocals and hand percussion. They do a mix of bluegrass, old timey, and country music. We appreciate them volunteering their time and talents!

*Since the bar is closed, we're sorry we won't be able to sell full servings of the beers. But we are working to do so in the summer. Look for news of re-opening the Whammy Bar in future posts.

They do a mix of bluegrass, old timey, and country music. We appreciate them volunteering their time and talents!

MCCS Beer Tasting on May 7th at the MCCS

Yes, a tasting for beer lovers! Self-described beer nerd, David Ellenbogen, will lead us through sampling several delicious beers as well as the ‘Shot in the Dark’, a specialty drink combining stout or porter, strong coffee and maple syrup. We are lucky to carry fine very local products to use: Kents’ Corner Sugarhouse syrup and 802 Coffee as well as the tasty Mayflower Porter from Massachusetts.

Saturday, May 7th from 4:30-6:30 in the Maple Corner Community Store’s backyard, if weather permits, or in the Whammy Bar. 31 W. County Rd, Calais, VT. For more information, call 802 229-4329 or email [email protected]. See you there!

Our friends, Hannah and Ben, took sandwiches up Spruce Mountain the other day before the snowstorm: piled-high veggies and cheese, and the tasty turkey reuben both on Manghi's whole wheat. It WILL be nice weather again so stop by the MCCS for a picnic lunch! (And you'll be glad to hear that the parking lot has dried up considerably!

Happy Thanksgiving from the Maple Corner Community Store!

Thank you from the Maple Corner Community Store!

I'd like to thank everyone who helped make the recent wine samplings a success! From Theis and the store staff to wine reviewers Rod Buck, Cristin O'Donnell, Eric Small, and Artie and Nancy Toulis, all the preparations went so well. Theis and Eric Small did double duty as hosts along with Carolyn Herz and David Schutz.
I did a host stint myself which was fun, and it was great to spend time with people in the the Whammy Bar even in a modified way.

We especially thank all the folks who showed up to sample the first-ever MCCS Holiday Wine Collection. If you didn't make it, there's another chance to sample the Holiday Wine Collection before Thanksgiving with hosts David Schutz and Susannah Blachly on Saturday, Nov. 20th from 4-6 pm in the Whammy Bar. (Masks except when sampling and vaccinated only, please)

Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks again to all! Olivia
