November’s Thirst Boston was the site for “State Lines: Portland & Providence Pop Up.” Held at the Fairmont Copley Plaza, the event showcased bar talent from Portland, Maine and Providence, bringing together a tour of tastes under one roof. Thirst Boston is a regional gathering of bartenders and connoisseurs with the goal of educating attendees on the science and art of the trade. Portland and Providence establishments and spirits were paired for cocktail creations made for the ticket-holding guests: Cook & Brown Public House featured St. George; Aurora featured Gosling’s; The Eddy featured Bols; and The Grange featured Novo Fogo, among other spirits.
