Beer Tasting on Friday the 5th 5-7

The time for beer has arrived again, my friends.  So let us try some brews that represent the US best.  Trying different, fun things is supposed to happen, it’s one of the great joys in life. People sometime get stuck with the same old agenda, and we are here to change that.  Four beers as always…something new and fun folks, so here we go.

First Collaboration not Litigation by Avery. This collaboration is made from two great brewers Adam Avery of Avery and Vinnie Cilurzo of Russian River.  A well made ale with a great balance of hops and malts. A must try.  $8

Second Double Dead Guy by Rogue. If you know Rogue, you know how well they make brews! If you don’t know it, it’s time to find out. This is the Double Dead Guy – Holy Shit is this beer a monster.  The nose reminds me of candy Whoppers for some reason, just because of the malt I suppose, but damn it’s tasty.  $12

Third Black Orchard by The Bruery. This Belgian Style beast has tones of spice and is brewed with wheat and oats. Likened to a black ale, this beer is unfiltered and bottle conditioned.  Which means the beer is always evolving.  $8.25

And Last Kriek-Lips Of Faith by New Belgium. Lips of Faith series from New Belgium tend to be pretty fun beers.  This beer in particular is brewed with cherries, about 45% cherries, sort of styled after a Lambic Ale.  This beer is not made often so it’s  a must try.  $15

If you got time to lean you have time to check out our Beer Tasting down at the Cellar at 5-7.  Tell your friends and stop on down for a good time.

Cheers!!

Wine Tasting Saturday the 6th 3-6

Alright people, our wine tastings have been spectacular.  For you to miss another is just, I don’t know, wine blasphemy.  We promote wines with class, attitude and distinction of place.  Why not give you wines that are rarely even heard of, or wines that we think you should try?  Tasting cool wines from all over, usually from the Old World; it’s what we do.

First Godello 2008 by Monte Novo. Godello. Huh?  this grape comes from the Valdeorras region from Spain.  It lies in the North West region of Spain right near Galacia where Albarino comes from.  Very indigenous and very cool. Tones of stone fruit with the minerality of this wine makes it unreal.  $16

Second Sola Fred 2008 by Cellaer El Masroig. This could be one of the best Monstant reds that is under $15 on the shelf. A blend of Carignan and Grenache this wine has red and black fruit tones that make it hard to resist.  $13

Third La Fermade 2006 byDomaine Maby. This wine comes from the Lirac appellation in southern France.  55% Grenache, 25% Mourvedre and 20% Syrah. Mourvedre is aged in great barrels. Very earth driven wine with great fruit aromas.  A seamless wine from Lirac. $26

And Last Les Penses byDomaine de Pallus. This wine comes from the Loire Valley in France.  Chinon is 100% Cab Franc from the Touraine appelation.  Nice dark red fruit followed by a touch of  “herbaciousness”.  Great acid backed with a good line of tannin.  $29

This should be a great tasting, feel free to stop on in and try some of our great hand selected wines.

Cheers!!
