About the Cover Worcester Magazine had the privledge to work with the student’s in Irena Roman’s

Freelance Illustration class at Massachusetts College of Art and Design in Boston for our annual Summer Guide. Although we were originally working only for a cover

illustration, the work was so amazing, we had to share all of it with you. Throughout this

year’s Summer Guide, you find the work of all of the students along with some information about the illustrators and where to see more

of their work.

On the cover: Design by Mel StockerFrom: Sandwich, MA

See more of her work at: melstocker.com Medium: digital

Inspiration for this cover: When I was a child, I lived just a short walk away from the beach and my life revolved around the seashore. During the winter,

the beach was frozen, empty, and grey, so it was always amazing to see it burst into vibrant colors and activity when summer came around and the

crowds of people rolled in with all their bright beach towels and bathing suits. I wanted to capture those

sensations with this piece since they encapsulate summer in Massachusetts for me and many others.

Illustration by Krista PerryFrom: Uxbridge, MAWebsite: kristaperryart.comMedium: Gouache My inspiration for the Worcester Magazine Summer Guide cover derived from all the delicious things we get to enjoy during the summer time. (Watermelon is not nearly as fun to eat any other time of the year.) I wanted to make sure I got a lot of bright colors and copious amounts of food in the composition to express how happy summer in Massachusetts makes me feel.

I used a combination of Photoshop and ink to create my cover. I was really inspired by the warmth of color and of the sun in summer with this image.

After this winter I just really wanted an image that made me feel warm.

Illustration by Jimmy Medeiros From: Reading, MA. Website: jbmedeiros.comMy cover image was made with acrylic and ink and my inspiration for it came from memories of going for ice cream in the summertime. The contrasting frozen taste against the humid hot summer weather always takes my mind immediately to thoughts of snow. This mental-physical moment of opposition has always been interesting to me.

Summer BrewsCorlyn Voorhees

When the summer months roll around, the seasonal beers come calling as well. And what’s better than a nice, cold beer on a hot summer day? The following list of summer brews are either from local breweries or can be found in local bars and restaurants, so choose which flavor (or flavors) to enjoy this season:

Blonde CougarWormtown Brewery, 72 Shrewsbury St., Worcesterwormtownbrewery.com5.1 percent | 18 IBUsBlonde Cougar has a light golden color from the use of American grown pale malted barley, flaked maize, and Massachusetts-grown wheat. Its slightly

sweet malt aroma continues into the flavor and is balanced by light hop bitterness and flavor, finishing slightly dry.

Ein AmarilloKretschmann Brewing Company, 9 Frederick St., Websterkbcbrewing.com5 percent ABV | 50 IBUsA single-malt, single-hop pale ale, made with Amarillo hops, flowery, spicy and citrus-like with a distinct orange flavor and aroma.

Old School PisnerGardner Ale House Brewery and Restaurant, 74 Parker St., Gardnergardnerale.com5.5 percent ABV| 32 IBUsOld School Pisner earns its name by being made the old fashioned way — without rice. Their authentic recipe uses Bohemian hops, very lightly toasted malts, and German lager yeast. This pale beer with medium bitterness and mild aroma takes 8 weeks to brew and is then released for the summer.

Narragansett’s Summer Alenarragansettbeer.com4.2 percent ABV| 24 IBUsA light-session ale made with two-row pale malt, citra, galaxy and Chinook hops. The citra hops are a popular, newer variety that deliver aromas of citrus and passion fruit without overpowering the taste buds.

Samuel Adams’ Summer Alesamueladams.com5.3 percent ABV | 7 IBUsCrisp and tangy with refreshing lemon peel and a hint of pepper from rare Grains of Paradise. Golden, hazy and thirst quenching, this American wheat ale balances bright citrus, Noble hops & spice for a lively brew that’s perfect on any summer day.

Summer AleWachusett Brewing Company, 175 State Road, East Westminsterwachusettbrew.com4.7 percent | 11 IBUsAvailable until August, this American wheat ale with a hint of lemon is made for summer weather.

Jack’s Abby Brewing balances pilsner malt with a blend of European hops and polishes it with extended periods of cold conditioning.

The HefGardner Ale House Brewery and Restaurant, 74 Parker St., Gardnergardnerale.com5.1 percent ABV | 11 IBUsThe Hef is made in the style of a Hefeweizen (pronounced “Hayfavietzen”). It’s light, tart notes are married to a clovey taste and aroma.


Sipping into SummerAl Vuona

Our typical New England winter this year was anything but typical. In fact the brutal cold and record snowfall made it downright unbearable. But that’s all in the past now, and needless to say you won’t find me shedding any tears. What I will be doing is enjoying wines that make summer time extra special.

In fact I would like to share with you a list of both red and white wines that are just perfect for summer time sipping. Whether it’s grilling in the back yard or enjoying a relaxing moment by the pool these wines are a must try. From South America to the Middle East, the wines listed below are widely available as well as affordable.

To help make the selection process easier I have included tasting notes and price points. Imagine how good a chilled Mourvedre Rose from South Africa would taste on a warm summer day. Or a soft, light-bodied Garnacha from Spain while relaxing on the deck. For those of you with an adventurous side there’s always Sangria, which typically consists of wine (white or red) chopped fruit, a sweetener, and a small amount of added brandy.

Without a doubt, summer is the quintessential outdoor dining season and each of these wines can easily be paired with your favorite foods. How about some grilled chicken fajita marinated with peppers and onions, along with a glass of sparkling Prosecco from Italy? Need I say more? So let’s toast to good health, prosperity and milder winters. After all summer, isn’t going to last forever.

WHITESIpsum Verdejo 2012, Spain $10 Honey, apricot and ripe fig flavors make this a great summer white.Concha y Toro Serie Riberas Chardonnay 2013, Chile $15 Tropical fruits and toasted hazelnuts intermingled with mineral notes along with a long creamy finish.Olivier LaFlaive Les Setilles 2012, France $21 Notes of green apple, mineral and a firm, crisp finish.Noble Hill Mourvedre Rose 2013, South Africa $13 Citrus fruit and strawberry flavors with clean sharp acidity.

Drive-Ins in Central MAMendon Twin Drive-In

Leicester Triple Drive-InRustic Tri Vue Drive-In


A Night at the Drive-InsCorlyn Voorhees

It’s a warm summer night and you’re itching to enjoy the nice weather. What’s better than grabbing the family or a few friends, hopping in the car and going to the drive-ins? Not only can you see a movie for cheap (usually about $5 per person), but you get the added benefit of enjoying the summer air instead of being stuck inside a theater. Here are some tips for your next trip to the drive-in as well as a list of drive-ins in and around Central Mass:

Don’t forget blankets: Summertime may mean warm weather, but the nights can get pretty chilly, especially if you’re sitting outside or in an open vehicle. Bring a few blankets not only for yourself, but for friends who may forget as well, or at least bring a sweatshirt. If you decide to sit on the grass next to the car or pop open the hatchback to sit in the trunk, blankets provide cushy seating as well!

Take a seat: Speaking of seating, don’t forget to bring lawn chairs unless you plan on just laying out a blanket. Not only will you not get dirty from sitting on the ground, but it will be much comfier for the several hours you’ll be spending watching the movies.

Clean up after yourself: No one likes litter. Some drive-ins provide a trash bag on the way in or trash cans around the premises, but if you bring your own trash bag, it’s a

guarantee that you’ll leave your spot just the way you arrived — clean.

Spray to keep the bugs away: Some drive-ins may treat the property to keep pesky insects away, but that’s not a surefire way to guarantee that you won’t get bit. No one wants to go to see a movie and leave with lime disease and itchy bug bites, so make sure to pack bug spray.

Bring a radio: Ensure that your car battery doesn’t die when you’re at the drive-ins by bringing your own portable radio - unless you’re more interested in a silent movie. Just don’t forget to bring batteries as well!

Double-check your ignition: If you decide to use your car radio to listen to movie, make sure you turn your ignition to the lowest setting to conserve your battery. Whether or not your battery will die depends on its condition and how old it is, but just in case — don’t forget the jumper cables.

First to the lot gets the spot: Remember the saying, “The early bird gets the worm?” The same applies to the drive-ins. If you want to get a good spot, arrive early to beat the rush — plus, you won’t have to wait in the long lines as it gets closer and closer to show time. And if you have a large group, it’s basically a requirement to get there early because spots do fill up and if you arrive later, there isn’t a guarantee that you will be able to sit together.

Check the rules and regulations: Last but, not least, make sure you check the drive-in’s policies before you go. Some drive-ins may allow pets while others may not; others may allow you to bring in your own snacks while others charge. Give them a call or check their website to ensure that you will be allowed in and that you can enjoy your night worry-free.

Before buying a summer movie ticket, read this

Jim Keogh

Unless you haven’t been paying attention, spring is the new summer when it comes to movies.

The launch of the summer season used to be pegged for Memorial Day, until it became clear audiences will ignore the calendar if you give them proper entertainment.

This year, “Avengers: Age of Ultron,” a movie that once would have landed during beach weather, already has been out a month. “Mad Max: Fury Road” didn’t bother waiting either, storming in on May 15.

So what’s left to stare at while you shovel overpriced popcorn into your maw? As a public service, allow me to do the dirty work of picking the summer’s biggest winners and sorriest losers before they even open. You may have your own thoughts on this, but just remember one thing — you’re wrong. I’m the professional here.

WINNERS“Ted 2” – The original — an adult

toy story — was the funniest movie of 2012, and I’m not sure anything has approached it since. This one will do blockbuster numbers at the box office. I’m hearing the scene inside the sperm bank is worth the price of admission.

“Magic Mike XXL” – People who liked “Magic Mike” really, really liked it (I confess I wasn’t one of them), and made the movie a surprise box office

hit. I see similar success with this sequel, which follows Channing Tatum and his fab abs to Myrtle Beach for a cosmic-level strip-off that will align the planets and raise the dead.

“Ant-Man” – Paul Rudd brings some humor and edge to the Marvel universe, qualities I think will be lacking from the likes of “Fantastic Four” (see below). Rudd is not a surefire draw, but people are ready for a new kind of hero — an “Ant”i-hero. Forgive me.

“Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation” – At this stage in Tom Cruise’s career, audiences tend to regard him as something of a sideshow attraction — like maybe his next movie will be the one where he spontaneously combusts. In real life, with no special effects. Anyway, his “Mission Impossible” films practically mint money, and Cruise reportedly clung to an airborne plane for an outrageous stunt, so there’s that.

“Vacation” – I wavered on whether to slot “Vacation” in the Winners or Losers category, but I see some extenuating circumstances that land it above ground. It’s the only movie opening on July 29. “Ted 2” will already have been playing for a month, so there’s no real comedy competition

there. And the trailer made me laugh.

LOSERS“Entourage” – Was anybody really

yearning for the continuation of the “Entourage” saga? The world is not a better place because Adrian Grenier finally has another acting job. Cameos by Tom Brady, Rob Gronkowski and Haley Joel (“My testicles dropped, and all I got was this lousy movie”) Osment won’t help. And who wants to see a skinny Turtle?

“The Man from U.N.C.L.E.” – The 1960s-era TV spy drama gets rebooted for a younger audience with absolutely no awareness of the source material. Beware the curse of Armie Hammer, who starred in one of the all-time summer bombs, 2013’s “The Lone Ranger.” I see a glorious constellation of factors spelling disaster.

“Terminator: Genisys” – I’ll be blech. I can’t think of anything more unappealing than yet another

Terminator movie, except a Terminator movie with a punchy, paunchy Arnold Schwarzenegger. Jason Clarke makes the fourth on-screen John Connor, and honestly, I’m starting to wish Arnold had taken out his mother in the first one.

“Fantastic Four” – Another reboot, this time of the venerable Marvel team. It’s a wise move to use CGI for The Thing instead

of the silly rock suit from previous versions. Otherwise, yawn.
