Join Mass Foodies on July 31st as we celebrate Worcester beer with a Brew Bus + Bites tour!
Guests will load onto a Luxury Land Yacht at 5:45pm outside of Wormtown Brewery on Shrewsbury Street in Worcester and be whisk away to experience Brews + Bites. As guests register and load onto the Land Yacht their brewery experience will begin with a surprise can from 3cross Fermentation coop—and with an update on the status of their brewery and taproom. In addition to starting the tour with the 3cross beer, guests will enjoy one of Crust Bakeshop’s large artisan pretzels freshly baked from their Main Street bakery to cleanse the palate for the the experiences to come.
As guests unload at the first stop, Greater Good Imperial Brewing Company, they will be given a 4oz pour of the award winning, 8% New England Style IPA, PULP Daddy, while enjoying Greater Good’s culinary expertise with a sneak peek at a menu item not always available to guests: seared tuna with pickled ginger and wasabi, served on a sesame spent grain crackers. Immediately following the brewery tour, guests will try the contrasting beer styles with a 4oz pour of their 4.3% Session IPA CrushGroove by Soul Purpose which will be paired with their classic grilled cheese plate—made with fontina, gruyere, and munster—prepared by Toast Test Kitchen Chef, Lee Maggio.
The second stop is Shrewsbury Street’s Redemption Rock Brewing Company, which opened in December 2018, where guests will disembark and enjoy a 16oz pour of a special selection while taking a private tour and having a lively conversation with Dani Babineau and staff!
The third stop is the Worcester staple, Wormtown Brewery, also on Shrewsbury Street. Once disembarking, guests will choose a full serving of one of the beers on tap before taking a tour of the brewery and meeting the critical players that have grown the business from a 3-tank brewery in the back of an ice cream shop into a nationally award winning brand. Immediately after the tour, the group will enjoy a special pop-up with Chef Jay Powell (formerly of Twisted Fork) where Chef Powell will be preparing a German style braised pork shank sliders with a side of Imperial Stout Poutine—both made with Wormtown’s Spies Like Us. Chef Jay will remain on hand to talk about his business, the dish, and will have cash option for additional food.
