Nugget Nectar has finally arrived and we are going big on tasting it this year. This Friday tasting will be the first of two this month to cast a spotlight on Troegs Double Hoppy Amber. As well as the Nugget Nectar, there will be plenty of other beers to try, but this one is really focusing on Nugget.
Night Shift has been making some of the best beer in the state for a while now, but they were always just out of reach of our shelves. Then, just before Christmas, that all changed. Since bringing them in to the store, we have had over 10 different beers from them. And you, the consumer, have been enjoying it. We run through dozens of cases a week and they just keep sending us fresh, hop forward cans as well as funky and sour bottles.
It took a little bit, but we are finally having the Everett brewers in for a tasting. If you have never tried Night Shift, come down. We know our beer and are constantly exploring what is out there, so please trust me when I say that they are one of the top breweries in Massachusetts. Their offerings change from week to week, depending on what they have just brewed, but know that what we are pouring will be fresh, flavorful, and well made.
Previously in 500ml, Jack’s Abby Kiwi Rising, their double IPL with freshly harvested New Zealand hops, will be in 4 pack cans. It’s an awesome beer, so to celebrate and spread the word, we will have them come in to taste all who pass with this fresh IPL. Jack’s Hoponius Union is becoming a staple brand for Massachusetts and their Excess IPL, a sister to Kiwi Rising, moves off our shelves constantly. New Zealand hops have a crisp and clean flavor, so paired with the light body of a lager, Jack’s Abby makes an easy drinking, flavorful IPL. Come join us Saturday December 3rd, 2-4pm.
We have begun our move to favoring local ciders and Harvard Cider Co. is one of the closest to the store. These guys haven’t been around for a long time, but they have already begun to establish a strong foothold throughout the state. We have been proud to carry a brand of cider that utilizes the orchards that can be found throughout this area. On November 19th, 2-4pm, Harvard Cider will be here pouring out their goods. Anchor is their straight forward cider that is at the heart of their brand. Paradise has been steeped with orange peel and grains of paradise. Missing Link has been dry hopped to add a bitter, hoppy bite. Harvard’s experimentation has produced ciders that deserve to make it into your cart. But just to give you that extra push, if need, we will be selling 4 packs of each of these ciders for $8.99, with the sale beginning for the tasting. Come out to check out the local cider makers and bring home some cider for your Thanksgiving or just everyday drinking.
Goose Island has been taking over tap lines all over the place and takes over at the end of the year with Bourbon County. What is probably their least known, or maybe better would be least tried, line up is their collection of Belgian-inspired wild ales. So on October 27th, we will have a tasting to spotlight these beers. We will do ALL of the wild ales. Considering they range from $10-$32, this tasting is a rare opportunity to taste all of these back to back.
We will be opening Sofie, Matilda, Lolita, Halia, Gillian, Juliet, and Madame Rose.
More details to come, so stay tuned. Also, keep an eye out for the Hop on the Bus with more details.
