After the hugely successful Shakin’ It Up! Event last November at the House of Blues, The Greater Boston Beverage Society Inc. is announcing plans to launch the annual Boston Cocktail Summit, the first-ever city-wide cocktail event, on October 4-6, 2012. Part convention, part festival, Boston Cocktail Summit will be a three-day celebration of Greater Boston’s cocktail culture designed to highlight the city’s fascinating history of mixology, New England’s, wineries, and distilleries, and raise funds to help local charities.
Boston Cocktail Summit will celebrate the culture of the cocktail with three days of events, parties, trade exhibits, educational seminars, and galas with a style as only Boston can, with proceeds benefitting the newly established Greater Boston Beverage Society Inc. and its selected charitable partners. A consumer event that is open the public, Boston Cocktail Summit will allow all enthusiasts to celebrate, commiserate, learn about, and imbibe great cocktails. Some of the biggest names in mixology will dazzle you with creative and classic cocktails, celebrated chefs will prepare exquisite dinners, the nation’s foremost authorities on spirits, wine and brews will captivate and stimulate your thoughts, all while the entertainment tickles your fancy! The event will appeal to bartenders & mixologists, chefs and others in the hospitality industry, as well as cocktail lovers from all over the country.
Established in September, 2011 by local mixologists Alexei Beratis and Jamie Walsh, The Greater Boston Beverage Society is a not-for-profit organization developed to preserve and promote Boston’s cocktail and hospitality culture and spirits history while supporting local and national beverage industry related charities.
Spread the work and we’d love your help and your support.
Thanks & Cheers,
Jamie Walsh & Alexei Beratis
