To go along with our sale, we will have Wachusett here to pour some of their stuff. Their brand new IPA Wally is making some big waves in the beer world. People just can’t believe that Wachusett made such a great hazy IPA. Definitely worth at shot. You won’t find a beer like this in a 6 pack, let alone for the price. Come try their new stuff and remind yourself about the old.
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.
Going to finish off the month with our last Brewery of the Month tasting. Lagunitas has been a staple for us, especially since they came out with 12 packs. One thing we don’t often give enough love to is their 22oz. bottles. All that is going to change after this tasting. We will be opening every 22oz. we have (as well as some of the 12oz. bottles) on Friday the 27th, 4-6pm. Come out and have some fun.
Starting off the month with our first Brewery of the Month tasting. Lagunitas is rapidly becoming one of the biggest brands in the country. Don’t let that dissuade you, they are still popping out unique and high quality beers on the regular. We’ll be showing off some of their lesser known offerings so that you can have a full understand of what their line up tastes like when looking at our shelves. Friday, May 6th 4-6pm.
Are hops overused?
Whoa, perhaps this is an incendiary question. Why, then, am I posing it? Well, I am doing so indirectly, as it was posed to me by our friend, the famous oenophile, Nic Haegeli. Nic knows what he is talking about, for sure. Nic also enjoys challenging the practices of modern wine makers and brewers. He is an old world wine man through and through. So what drove him to push my hop shrouded button? He slyly prodded me under the guise of the new world use (or over use) of oak in wine making. Continue reading Are hops overused?
