Welcome to Cork’s weekly newsletter. I guess the summer weather isn’t over just yet as we get this tropical rainstorm today and tomorrow. If you’re one of those who want to hang onto summer as long as possible (and wear shorts like the Cork’s staff) we will take 10 % off any summer beers hanging around. We have a rack in the front of the beer section and we will put those neon round stickers on them so you and the cashiers will know to take 10 % off. While we are talking about seasonal beers, if you find or see an Oktoberfest or other Autumn beer you like…grab it!...most are already billing out of stock and will be gone in early October.
Speaking of October…1 without the Sox in the playoffs…grrrrrrr…don’t forget the Tri-Town Chamber of Commerce Oktoberfest tasting is next Tuesday from 5 to 7 PM. It is under the tents at the Comcast Center and the lineup of restaurants looks amazing. Tickets are just $12 in advance and $15 at the door. We will be pouring Sam Adams Oktoberfest, Southern Tier Pumking, and a couple of other Oktoberfest/Fall beers. Here is a link to some of the restaurants that will be there sampling their signature dishes. http://www.tri-townchamber.org/discounts.html This event is always a blast, and all the proceeds go to the local food banks.
We don’t have any tastings lined up for this week here at Cork’s. We do have John from Trio Wines and the return of the Tommy Bolini show on the schedule for this month. I need to get on my cousin Vinnie and Miguel to get some beer tastings on the docket as well. We do have Newport Storm out of RI and a new rep from Dogfish Head on the schedule, but we will be filling up the rest of the weeks and try to run them every Thursday night right through Christmas. Don’t forget to save the date for our 6th Annual Grand Fall Wine Tasting. It is Thursday night October 28th from 5 to 7:30 PM.
