A party is brewing, and it's time to scare up some fun this fall with a Boos & Brews Halloween Beer Tasting party.
Forget the tricks this Halloween and treat yourself to a night filled with drinks, food, music and fun at this bewitching Boos & Brews Halloween Beer Tasting Party.
I've always loved a good party theme, but sometimes I think we reserve all the fun themes and decor for kids' parties. A few years ago I hosted a Beer Tasting Birthday Party for my husband and quickly realized all the adults were not only excited to celebrate, but they love a good-themed party too! So, over the years I've found a few ways to incorporate one of our favorite party themes into several different holiday celebrations. From our Red, White & Brew BBQ to this spooktacular Boos & Brews Halloween party.
This Halloween party is a twist on the traditional beer tasting. I've found that the best way to host a beer-tasting party is to have a central location where everyone can gather around to taste and compare. I like having everyone gathered around the table, it's easy to set up and make it easy for the conversation to flow among guests.
I started by setting the table with a white tablecloth and layered it with Black Creepy Cloth to give it a spooky element. Next, each place setting featured a scalloped placemat with Cauldron Shaped Dessert Plates and personalized Spooky Napkins. Black beer tasting boards were placed above each place setting and featured 3 different personalized tasting glasses and Cauldron Plastic Mugs for water.
The Mini Witch Brooms tied to each cauldron were a fun little detail, and could even be used as stir sticks for cocktails.
There's no need to be intimidated by hosting a beer tasting. Part of the fun is sampling a variety of beverages without any expectations or preconceived notions. Simply select a variety of beers from your local store and use the Black Cauldrons to double as both a fun centerpiece and a cooler to keep your drinks cold. Here's a pro tip, use dry ice instead of ice, it will keep your drinks cooler longer and the smoky effect the ice gives off is perfect for Halloween.
A blind taste test is a fun way to introduce everyone to a variety of styles and breweries they may not be familiar with. You can go a step further and have people write down tasting notes so they can remember which beer was their favorite.
As the host, you will place the beer in bags to conceal their identity and keep track of which beer is poured in which tasting glass. An easy way to do this is to use custom beer labels.
After everyone has sampled their favorites it's time for them to head over to the "Brew Bar" to grab one of their favorites. Or, if they've had their fill of beer you can also serve fun cocktails like Black Magic or the Witch's Kiss.
I set up a central area in the main room with a "Party Is Brewing" backdrop and bar cart so guests could easily help themselves and even snap a selfie or two.
Load your bar cart with all the party essentials like black cauldrons full of ice and a signature cocktail, served in the Halloween Stand Drink Dispenser. Be sure to include a variety of drinkware like the mini black cauldrons, cut crystal wine glasses, and my personal favorite the "Here for the Boos" personalized stemless wine glasses.
An inflatable Witch Cauldron Cooler is the perfect place to keep your brews cold. The spooky Bird Sorceress is a fun addition to this magical bar cart.
From spooky drinks to stout adventures this adult-themed Halloween party is a delightful mix of classic and creepy. With bubbling cauldrons and witch-themed decor, this party is sure to conjure up spooky spirits and lots of fun!
