Make Plans Now

As usual, it's going to be a busy weekend at Joe Canal's in Lawrenceville and Woodbridge. We thought this handy guide would be useful as you make your weekend plans.

One great gift idea, whether for Father's Day, college graduation or just because, is an engraved bottle of Scotch. That permanent message makes a special bottle even better, and we have engraving events coming up at both stores.

Events in Lawrenceville

The weekend starts fast in Lawrenceville, with two events on Friday. We'll have our regular wine tasting, from 4-6pm. Also on Friday, from 4-7pm, we have our bottle engraving for The Macallan.

Saturday might be the most event-filled day of the year. Here's how the day breaks down:

From noon-2pm, we've having a tasting of Not Your Father's Root Beer. Not Your Father's Root Beer is an Ale, brewed with spices. At 5.9% ABV, the silky, smooth and satisfying finish is unmatched in flavor. It appeals to craft beer aficionados as well as those who don’t typically drink beer but crave something unique.

Next, from 1-3pm, we have our Johnnie Walker Blue Label bottle engraving.

Since we're (sadly) not able to offer samples of the Blue Label, we move next to our regular wine tasting, from 2-4pm. Click here for the tasting menu, which features two reds and two whites that are amazing summer wines.

Saturday wraps up with the Founders Brewing Small Plate Dinner, in-store, starting at 5:30pm. As of this writing, two seats still remain available. Click here for details, or just confirm availability by calling the store at 609-520-0008.

We're currently putting the finishing touches on our Craft Beer Christmas in July. Details will be available shortly. And please click here for the full Event calendar.

Events in Woodbridge

Our weekend actually starts tonight, with a special tasting of Troegs beer, from 5-7pm. On Friday, we'll have our regular wine tasting, from 4-6pm. Click here for the tasting menu.

We go for something a little different on Saturday, with a tasting of Bruce Julian Bloody Mary mix. Bruce Julian Bloody Mary Mix is an all-natural, North Carolina-handcrafted, Southern Classic.  Finally, here’s a truly sophisticated mixer that starts out sweet and finishes savory, with just enough heat, and tastes like homemade every time. Try it on its own or slosh in a little vodka (we like tomato or cucumber flavor!); prime your glass with Bruce’s own rimmer; garnish with a piece or two of our Sassy Okra; and kick back: Our delicious blend instantly conjures a lazy Sunday morning on the porch, no matter where you happen to be doing your sipping.

Tasting hours are 1-3pm.

Five days of events wraps up on Sunday with our Johnnie Walker Blue Label bottle engraving, from 2-4pm.

Looking ahead, we have quite a few great events already scheduled, including a Weyerbacher beer dinner on July 31, and a Flying Fish beer dinner on August 14. Click here for the full Event calendar.
