Each Friday evening, GrandTen will open the distillery doors to those interested in a more in-depth understanding of handcrafted spirits. Offering a detailed tour, followed by a relaxed tasting of our full line of products (along with special, limited-run spirits not available anywhere else), you’ll keep a tasting glass as a souvenir. These tastings will include discussions on mixology, the history of Boston spirits, and the spirit world more generally. To keep these tastings intimate and conversation lively, seating will be initially limited to 20 reservations.

Get out there and spend! With all this snow on the ground, local small businesses have been impacted directly. In an effort to boost the local economy, Mayor Marty Walsh has announced an exciting new incentive called “Boston Bingo!” This fun new game was created by the Office of Economic Development and will run through March 15th. You can download a bingo card online or you can find paper version at local businesses. Be prepared to complete such tasks as “Date Night” or “Enjoy a Cup of Neighborhood Coffee.” When you complete a row on the card, you turn it in to be entered into a raffle for prizes. Complete the entire board, and that enters you 7 times into the raffle! Sweet! To download the bingo card and for rules of entry visit: http://www.cityofboston.gov/mayor/bingo.asp
