Anoché - Last Night Celebration
ANOCHE {Translates to: Last Night}
For the last three years we’ve teamed up with our cider, gin, vermouth, pintxos, and tin fish buddies — from Anoché Portland — for an epic party.
The next iteration of this epic party will take place in on Saturday, June 6th from 5-8pm at Anoché Portland on Washington Ave in Portland-Maine. Adding to the vibes, DJ Gabe-FM will be spinning some records and putting together an epic vinyl set.
Each year we celebrate Maine ciders and the Spanish and Portuguese influences on everything we do. Every year, we tap a ton of different ciders we’ve made, for an extra special cider selection not seen outside of our tasting room.
For the celebration, we made our yearly collaboration cider made with foraged apples from the foothills around Portland and foraged apples from Rangeley, Farmington, Bethel, Lovell, and Oxford—called Last Night.
We will release Last Night on draft and in bottles at both locations (in Winthrop and Portland). Our Winthrop celebration on Wednesday, June 3rd from 4-9pm, and our celebration in Portland on Saturday, June 6th from 5-8pm.
This celebration ends up being a community gathering with some of our favorite fermentation buddies, industry friends, close family, and good ole friends. It’s a grand ole time, and our team will be onsite for the whole event sharing drinks, stories, and maybe a porrón to the face.
Join us for one of our favorite days of the year. Cheers to the team at Anoche, we can’t wait to hang!

Loggerhead Fest
LOGGERHEAD FEST OF WINTHROP!
{Saturday, March 28th}
Announcing a save the date for our upcoming event bringing together our brewing friends from @islandparkbrewing and @naiadcountrybrewery for a celebration of Bavarian Beer Culture and the release of their new collaboration beer — Danko Dark Rye Ale.
On Saturday, March 28th from 12-9pm come hangout with the teams at @islandparkbrewing and @naiadcountrybrewery and taste the release of their new collaboration beer made with local malts from @blueoxmalthouse
It’s an ideal beer to kick off spring, mark the end of winter, and is designed for the tradition of “bierstacheln.”
Bierstacheln is the Bavarian “hot poke” tradition where a “Loggerhead” is warmed in a fire and put into strong lagerbier delivering a warm marshmallow-like foamy head on top of your cold beer. The foam caramelizes, enhancing your beer experience along the way.
Join us for the day, we will have a tap takeover featuring @islandparkbrewing @naiadcountrybrewery beers, and some @ayinger_privatbrauerei traditional German lagerbiers. The brewers and cidermakers will be outside by the fire pits poking beers to Bavarian tradition.
To add some cider to the tradition, @absolemcider will be offering a limited time “Cider Flip” where we will be adding maple syrup and molasses to our Fools Errand cider making for a unique caramelized cider experience.
@uglydumplingfoodtruck will be serving food throughout the day, and @dusty___buckets is going to playing some traditional folk and bluegrass in the barn from 5-7pm. Meet the brewers by the fire pits from 2-6pm to get your beer hot poked!
This event would not be coming to Winthrop, Maine without this German tradition being kept alive by @schellsbeer in Minnesota and @notchbrewing in Massachusetts for their yearly Starkbierfest. Spencer, founder and brewer @naiadcountrybrewery reminded us how special bierstacheln can be and is always eager to share the tradition with everyone at our farm. We appreciate their dedication to the tradition and honor them by bringing this event to you. Meet you by the fire pits!
