Let Your Taste Buds Take Flight

Sometimes you just want to sip and sample, rather than guzzling a pint or finishing off a full cocktail or bottle of wine. That’s when it’s time to order a flight, which is an assortment of one type of food or beverage. A concept that has been available in breweries for a while, it’s now catching on at distilleries, wineries and bars and you might even spot appetizer, salad or dessert flights on a menu from time to time. Here are some places you’ll want to linger at and sample:
