Beer, Wine and Spirits Events

At Joe Canal's in Lawrenceville and Woodbridge, we appreciate the fact that you have made us your favorite choice when shopping for wine, beer and spirits. You've enabled us to grow into New Jersey's leading wine, beer and spirits Superstore, which then allows us to offer you even more-special purchases, lowest prices on everyday items, and outstanding events and programs.

As we like to do on Thursday, here's a look at the upcoming events at both of our stores.

Events in Lawrenceville

We have a wine and craft beer weekend scheduled. On Friday, we have our regular wine tasting, from 4-6pm. Click here for the tasting menu. On Saturday, we welcome our friends from Flying Fish Brewing Co. for a tasting, from 2-4pm. Flying Fish opened in 1996, and has grown to become the largest craft brewery in New Jersey.

Looking ahead one week, we have another interesting weekend scheduled. We start with a wine tasting on Friday, from 4-6pm. Then, starting at 5pm, we'll host a book signing. Come meet author Lew Bryson, where he'll sign copies of his latest book, "Tasting Whiskey."

Lew is the managing editor of Whisky Advocate magazine, and has written a total of six books. Amazon.com had this to say about "Tasting Whiskey:" "Whiskey lovers will devour this fresh and comprehensive guide to everything there is to know about the world's whiskeys, including Scotch and bourbon as well as Tennessee, Irish, Japanese, and Canadian whiskeys. You'll learn about the types of whiskey and the distilling traditions of the regions where they are made, how to serve and taste whiskeys to best appreciate and savor them, how to collect and age whiskey for great results, and much more. There are even recipes for cocktails and suggestions for food pairings. This is the guide no whiskey drinker will want to be without!"

"Tasting Whiskey" is available in paperback or Kindle.

The weekend of events will wrap up on Saturday, August 1, with a mixology event that features Crop Organic Vodka. Since vodka is the most versatile of all the spirits, this event will help you with your bartending skills.

Events in Woodbridge

In Woodbridge, our weekend starts tonight, with a tasting of Shiner Beer. First brewed in 1909, Shiner is the flagship brand of Spoetzl Brewer, which is located in Shiner, Texas. On Friday, it's our turn for the Crop Organic Vodka mixology event, 4-6pm. Finally, we have our regular wine tasting on Saturday, 1-3pm. Click here for the tasting menu.

Next weekend will be about craft beer and wine. We'll have our regular weekend wine tastings, Friday from 4-6pm, and Saturday, 1-3pm. The big (and delicious) event will be in-store on Friday, 7/31. That's our Founders Brewing Small Plates and Tasting event. We'll pair five courses with five different Founders brews. Attendees will also have the opportunity for special purchases (KBS, anyone?). Due to space restrictions, we are limited to 25 attendees. You don't want to miss this fun evening. Click here for more information.

The weekend continues on August 1, as we host our regular weekly wine tasting, 1-3pm.
