Kickoff Beer Tasting this Saturday 2:30 to 5:00

Welcome to Cork’s 6th Annual Kick-Off Beer tasting newsletter. We are just 2 days away from our biggest beer tasting of the year. This Saturday, September 11th from 2:30 to 5 PM is the date and time. I’m just finishing up the lineup and it looks to be heavy on local beers, fall seasonals and Oktoberfest beers! Here is a snapshot of what we will be tasting…Sam Adams…Ommegang…Wachusett…Rogue…Troegs…Clown Shoes…Goose Island…Magic Hat…Redhook…Sierra Nevada…Beck’s…Geary’s…Shipyard…Blue Moon…Long Trail…Leinenkugel…Wolaver’s…Southern Tier…Cisco…Ipswich…Radeberger...and Woodchuck Ciders. We also have Hammer & Sickle Vodka, Cabin Fever Maple Liqueur, and Rogue Rum to warm you up for the football season.

We will have our famous Pizza Tyme tasting pizza and plenty of snacks to munch on between beers. Who knows…maybe we can get 1 of the dozen or so Patriot players who shop here to make a guest appearance at the tasting. Last time I checked Derrick Burgess had some free time on his hands! I’m sure there will be plenty of coasters, t-shirts, key chains and other stuff to give away when you purchase a beer you like. This will work like our wine tastings…you will be given a list of the beers with your # in the corner…when you find a beer you like just tell the rep your # and we will start a box for you upfront. At the end of the tasting just tell the cashier your # and we will gather all your beer for you. The weather is supposed to be a picture perfect fall football day in the low 70’s. So don your favorite Pats gear and make sure you don’t miss this huge tasting.

We will not have any beer tasting this Thursday or wine tasting on Friday as we prepare the store for Saturdays big event. I’d like to wish a happy Rosh Hashanah to all our Jewish friends. We do have the delicious Manischewitz and Baron Herzog wines that are Kosher for your celebrations. OK…I need to get back to work and put the finishing touches on the beer lineup and get the store ready for Saturday. Have a great weekend and we’ll see you at the Kick-Off Beer Tasting!
