There is no better day to have a Guinness tasting than on St. Patrick’s Day. And to make things even better, it’s a Friday this year. It is as if the planets have aligned. This is a tasting that we might not need, since Guinness is one of the most unique and widely drank beers, but one we certainly want and will enjoy. Have a sip to remind yourself of what the world already knows and grab one of their 18 Packs that we have on sale for $21.99. It’s not the most complex tasting we’ve had, but does it need to be? HAPPY SAINT PATRICK’S DAY
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.
Hailing from Everett, we have been carrying Down the Road since they first started brewing beer. Over the last few years, these guys have kept on chugging along and producing ales and lagers that have earned a good amount of buzz in this beer world of ours. It has been a while since we have had them come in to pour their offerings so we’re gunna change that. Mike from Down the Road will be here tasting beers like Seventh Star IPA, Pukwudgie Pale Ale, Springheel Jack London Porter, and their Cherry Feyborn Berliner Weisse. THis is a brewery that is gathering a dedicated following and significant buzz in Massachusetts, which isn’t always easy in this market overflowing with great sudz.
In order to make sure everyone is making the most informed decision they can on Saint Patrick’s Day, we are bringing Ireland’s less known brewery in for a tasting. O’Hara’s as been doing their thing since 1996, but while relatively new to the game compared to some of the other Irish Breweries, they make beers that stand up to anything else coming from the Emerald Isle. We’ll be pouring out everything these guys send our way, so give them a change before reaching for something else.
In preparation for the Hallmark holiday, we’re having a tasting with some beers that share the flavors of the usual Valentine’s day gifts. Lindeman’s makes some of the best fruit added sour/funky beers and has for centuries. We will have two of their berry varients, Kriek and Framboise. To go with the berries, we’ll have Samuel Smith’s Organic Chocolate stout. This stout has a Tootsie Roll style chocolate flavor that pairs well with deserts as well as fresh fruit. Come try them all along side of tasty food pairings to see if this is what your Valentine would like.
