Thanks for attending our 6th Annual Kick-Off Beer Tasting!

Welcome to Cork’s weekly newsletter. Thank you all who came to our 6th Annual Kick-Off Beer Tasting last Saturday. I think it went well and there was a good mix of new beers…fall beers…and liquors to satisfy everybody’s tastes. I think the weather was just perfect and with the Pats kicking butt in the home opener (and the Jets losing Monday night) it was a perfect weekend. Now if we can sneak out a win against the Jets at the new Meadowlands this Sunday we will be in the early drivers seat for the division. Even the Sox are playing well now that the pressure of a playoff race is over and the kids are getting a long look. Even the Bruins rookies had their 1st game yesterday and Celtics training camp is right around the corner!

We are going to take this week off from beer and wine tastings as we reload the schedule for the fall season. I do have openings in October and November if anyone is interested in doing a customer wine tasting. I know there are a few of you who have expressed interest in the last few months. I’m still trying to pin down a date for our 6th Annual Grand Fall Wine Tasting. I should have a date by next week’s newsletter. I would like to remind everybody that we will once again be sampling Fall Beers at the Tri-Town Chamber of Commerce Oktoberfest. It is Tuesday, October 5th at the Comcast Center this year. There is always a ton of great food from all the local restaurants. Tickets are just $12 in advance with the proceeds going to the local food banks.

We are looking for a Beer Mgr. here at Cork’s. This could be a full or part-time position depending on the candidate. The job requires a couple of nights a week, and availability for some weekend shifts. Responsibilities will include ordering beers, merchandising, stocking, pricing, setting up tastings and everything else in the beer department. You will also help in other areas of the store including wine, liquor, cashiering, cleaning, redemption and any other duties needed. I would like someone with some craft beer knowledge, common sense, and a good work ethic. Salary will depend on experience and is negotiable. Please stop in and fill out an application and ask to speak with Kat, Megan, or Robert. Have a great weekend.
