The New Hampshire delegation will welcome scores of home-state businesses — including a baker’s dozen of booze makers — to the Capitol Wednesday for the fifth annual “Experience New Hampshire” reception.
Democrats Jeanne Shaheen, Carol Shea-Porter and Ann McLane Kuster and their Republican counterpart, Sen. Kelly Ayotte, are poised to once again co-host the epicurean love fest.
The invite-only taste-around is scheduled to take place Wednesday from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. in the Kennedy Caucus Room (Russell 325).
Per Shaheen’s office, first-timers Ali Baba’s Wholefoods Festival and Treasures , Michele’s Sweet Shoppe , gourmet chocolatier Lindt and New Hampshire Mushroom Company are all expected to inject new life into the noshing side. Shaheen favorites Granite State Candy Shoppe and L.A. Burdick are safely back in the rotation.
Meanwhile, newly recruited beer slingers Great Rhythm Brewing Company , The Prodigal Brewery and Throwback Brewery will join the ranks of an already impressive tippling line-up scheduled to include:
- Candia Vineyards
- Farnum Hill Ciders (glad to have you back!)
- LaBelle Winery
- Moonlight Meadery
- Redhook Ale Brewery
- Smuttynose Brewing Company
- Sweet Baby Vineyard
- Tuckerman Brewing Company
- White Birch Brewing
- Woodstock Inn Station and Brewery
We’re feeling punchy (hic!) just thinking about all the guzzling — ahem, responsible sipping — that lies ahead.
