"The Cellar" by 67 Degrees Brewing Readies for the Summer at the Wrentham Village Premium Outlets

As microbrewery 67 Degrees Brewing proudly serves the growing crowds at The Cellar by 67 Degrees, the first outdoor beer garden to serve the Wrentham Village Premium Outlets readies for a busy summer. The Franklin-based brewery has a multi-year commitment with Simon Properties to operate the beer garden, which features a retro-fitted shipping container that’s pouring craft brews for shoppers from near and far.

The Cellar pours nine of 67 Degrees’ own beers, two beers from nearby breweries, and three wines from La Cantina Winery. Customers can enjoy its new tropical sour ale “Carmen Says…” Berliner Weiss, which brings banana, mango, and pineapple flavors to Bay State beer lovers, while favorites “Retriever” Golden Ale and “Route 140” New England IPA grow their reputation as crowd-pleasers.

As it prepares for Memorial Day Weekend and unofficial kick-off of summer, The Cellar will host a regular rotation of programming and games to satisfy the growing crowds. In its ongoing effort to support its surrounding community, The Cellar will host its first ever “Pups and Pints”, a puppy adoption open house on May 27. Held in collaboration with Dedham’s Schultz’s Guest House, a portion of beer sales proceeds will benefit the non-profit dog rescue shelter.

One of the fastest growing microbreweries in Massachusetts, 67 Degrees uses local ingredients and time-honored brewing techniques in their craft. The Cellar operates from 11:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m., from Sunday-Thursday and 11:00 a.m. – 8:00 p.m. on Friday and Saturday. Entirely operated by 67 Degrees Brewing staff, the beer garden is located in the center of the shopping complex on Patriot Court. It includes ample parking, accessible facilities, and dining options for all. Interviews with 67 Degrees Brewing are available upon request.

Drink Responsibly: La Cantina Winery (video)

One of the new video series produced by Franklin TV is called "Drink Responsibly." In this episode, Jim Derick talks with Bob Vozzella of La Cantina Winery about the development of his wine making process.

Video link ->  https://youtu.be/NuNKq-MgTDA

Franklin Matters sat with Bob earlier this year and you can listen to that conversation (about 40 minutes). They have also expanded to brewing some beer to provide that option for visitors to their backyard location.    https://www.franklinmatters.org/2023/01/talking-wine-small-business-with-bob.html

You can visit La Cantina at their winery on Union St in Franklin. With the warmer weather here, the tent is back and music & food trucks are part of the regular schedule https://lacantinawinery.com/
