Memorial Day weekend is upon us! For many of us, Memorial Day weekend marks the unofficial start to summer and is a time to get together with family and friends… and with the long winter we had this year, who isn’t ready to celebrate warm weather with family and friends, right?
Between the American national holiday, the three-day weekend, the presence of family and friends, and the scent of summer in the air, Memorial Day weekend has all the ingredients for the year’s first big-time barbeque… and folks are dusting off their grills in preparation for the weekend festivities!
If you’re planning on hosting your own Memorial Day weekend barbeque this year, you’ll want to consider these quick tips…
Plan the Menu in Advance & Add a Twist
For anyone hosting a barbeque, it’s an unwritten rule to plan the menu in advance. Of particular importance is which meat to serve come barbeque time! Chicken wings, burgers, ribs, beef brisket, and steak are all time tested red-blooded American options. At Colonial Spirits Delivers, we recommend adding a little twist to your menu by marinating your chosen red-blooded American meat in red-blooded American beer! Thankfully, you can rely on our Massachusetts beer delivery service to get hold of a sufficient supply of American beer anytime, as we always have plenty of red-blooded options in stock.
Stock Up on Beer, Wine, Liquor & Soda
You certainly don’t want to have your guests going thirsty while devouring your delicious barbeque! So, stocking up on beverages is a priority. Though the focus of barbeques is often beer, at Colonial Spirits Delivers we believe it’s wise to provide several options, including wine, liquor, and soda. Also, be aware liquor stores are closed on Memorial Day in accordance with Massachusetts state law… so stock up in advance. Fortunately, you don’t even need to step out of your home to stock up on beverages, thanks to our beverage and beer delivery service to Boston and all of Eastern Massachusetts.
Don’t Neglect to Make Seating Arrangements
Barbecues are informal affairs, but don’t neglect to consider sufficient seating arrangements. You want your guests to be seated properly as they enjoy their barbeque and wash it down with their beverage of choice. Thus, you should probably be prepared to utilize all of your own tables and chairs, and perhaps consider renting additional tables and chairs to accommodate everyone if need be. We’re afraid we can’t help you with seating arrangements at Colonial Spirits Delivers, but honestly… the food and drink are what’s most important anyway!
Memorial Day weekend is among the most anticipated of American holidays, not only because of its national significance, but also because it marks the unofficial start to summer and is traditionally a weekend for fun with family and friends. If you’re hosting a Memorial Day weekend barbeque this year, don’t forget the above-mentioned tips to ensure this year’s celebration is a memorable one.
