We're hosting our first ever drag show! Games, raffles, prizes... and of course a drag show. Hosted by Clementine Ku'Lay'D and featuring: Tiana Maxim, Mz. October Maylay, and Onyxx Aura.
Tickets available at the door or preorder through EventBrite.
Chipped Tooth Splitting Hairs returns! If you heard them at our Summer Showcase this past August, you know why they're back!
The night before Thanksgiving tends to be a drinking night. We want to do some cocktails to celebrate the holiday. Makes the next day with family easier .
We will have 4 or 5 traditional cocktails for the un-adventurous and 4 or 5 featured mead cocktails where we just play and have fun. Last call is at 9 pm, so if you want to get sloppy, you can head someplace else after
ALSO, we will have special pricing for your Thanksgiving needs: $1 off all to-go bottles ($2 off 4-packs for cans). 10% additional off for a full case plus 10% additional discount for club members. Listen, I (Talon) don't like discounts... but I love Thanksgiving, and I want you to share our mead at your Thanksgiving dinner.
Cheers! and I'll see you Wednesday!
P.S.: Don't forget about our latest flavor, For the Birds, which was designed for turkey day. Light cranberry, cinnamon, and ginger. It's a surprisingly refreshing mead that will go with any savory dinner plans you have... even turkey.
We'll be taking the day off to reflect on our gratitude for you, our customers and supporters.
If this puts you in a tough spot, be sure to visit us the night before and take advantage of our discounts on mead To Go....
For the 39th Annual Holiday on Main Street's "Magic of Middletown" we'll have your mulled mead hook up for the tree lighting. Remember, mulled mead is a hot beverage with alcohol, so, yes, it's perfect for the tree lighting at 8pm in front of Eli Cannon's "where Santa and Mrs. Claus will arrive by fire engine to light the tree. Elves will be on the sidewalk with Popcorn, Cookies, Hot Chocolate and goodies for the kids, and The Middletown Police Benefit Association Pipe & Drum Corps will be playing to welcome the arrival of Santa! Don’t forget to bring an unwrapped toy for the Police Department’s Stuff-A-Cruiser fundraiser!"
Our Holiday Sip and Shop event is Sunday, December 1st, and December 15th.
We're partnering with RuleOf3BrewingCT. The idea is that you can start at Rule of 3, have a beer or two, do some holiday shopping while supporting local artisans, crafters, and creators, then proceed to Bergen House to finish up the shopping with a mead in hand.
Rule of 3: 12:00 to 4:00pm
Bergen House: 2:00 to 6:00pm
Not a bad day, and definitely a good way to get some/most/all of your holiday shopping done.
Fun date night idea? YES
Family fun? YES
Get to bring the results home? YES
Have fun at Bergen House? YES
