Weddings and Wedding Table Favors

There are so many parts to a wedding, sometimes one doesn’t know where to start!

With the launch of our new Wedding page this week http://www.1896house.com/weddings.htm, we thought we would put together a list of a little bit "different" ideas for wedding table favors. 

While you are thinking about wedding table favors don't forget to check out our wedding menus at http://www.1896house.com/weddings.htm#wedding_menus for some delicious ideas to make your wedding wonderful and delicious at the 1896 House.

Many wedding favors get left on tables or end up in the kitchen catchall drawer in a wedding guests house after the big event. Here are a few ideas for wedding table favors that guests may find useful and keep around:

Microbreweries and the 6' House Pub

Pin It

The 6' House Pub serves a variety of beers, some more nationally known, but we are also proud to serve quite a few local and New England Microbrews http://www.6housepub.com/beers.htm

What makes microbrews and the microbreweries that make them different?

Originality, individuality, customer service, experimentation, quality and diversity. Many of the small craft breweries are not adverse to trying new things or thinking out of the box. Trying things like maple flavoring or in the case of Magic Hat's #9 with a hint of apricot, better enjoyed in a glass then straight out of the bottle. Believe me it has a very different taste in a glass (in a good way). Try a microbrew today if you have never had one, I can say you'll probably be pleasantly surprised.

According to the Brewer' Association:

 http://www.brewersassociation.org/pages/business-tools/craft-brewing-statistics/market-segments

A microbrewery is a brewery that produces less than 15,000 barrels (17,600 hectoliters) of beer per year with 75% or more of its beer sold off-site. Microbreweries sell to the public by one or more of the following methods: the traditional three-tier system (brewer to wholesaler to retailer to consumer); the two-tier system (brewer acting as wholesaler to retailer to consumer); and, directly to the consumer through carryouts and/or on-site tap-room or restaurant sales.

Aphrodisiacs and our Valentine's Day Menu

The name Aphrodisiac comes from Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love. While doctors have yet to prove that natural aphrodisiacs in food actually work to stimulate a little romance, cultures around the world have been touting foods as aphrodisiacs for centuries. So whether it’s a question of mentally believing that they work or a factual one, there is little doubt that foods labeled aphrodisiacal are delicious one way or another.

Our Valentine's Day Menu has a wealth of ingredients (underlined) that are aphrodisiacal as well as tasting that way, so bring your special squeeze in for dinner and have a romantic evening at the 6' House Pub. (reservations recommended Telephone: 413-458-1896   ~   Toll Free:  888-999-1896)

The 6' House Pub is THE place to take your sweetie for Valentine's Day!
