SuperBrew VI Newsletter - Dig out and join us!

Welcome to Cork’s Superbrew VI newsletter. I think Marc has the lineup just about set for our biggest tasting of the year. It’s this Saturday January 29th from 2:30 to 5 PM. I think we have close to 90 beers and a couple of liquors as well. Here is a quick look at what we will be pouring. Narragansett…Cisco…Heavy Seas…Southern Tier…Ipswich…Mayflower…Troegs…Long Trail…Otter Creek…Smuttynose…Anchor Steam…Harpoon…Oscar Blues…Schlafly…Bear Republic…Olde Burnside Growlers…Goose Island…Redhook…Sierra Nevada…Kona…Sam Adams…Geary’s…Founders…Smirnoff…and we even have weed…Jeremiah Weed RTD’s that is! We have our friends from Cabin Fever here once again, and this time they have homemade fudge made from their delicious maple whiskey. We also have the Sailor’s Swagger Pineapple Hot Sauce guy with a new flavor, Roadhouse Red Pepper, and a vat of chili to go with it. So hopefully you can find a few new beers for next weeks Super Bowl, or Saturday’s (yawwwn) Pro Bowl game.

We don’t have a beer or wine tasting scheduled for this Thursday or Friday as we get the store ready for Saturday’s big event. I am looking for volunteers who might want to do a “Customer” wine tasting on a Friday night in February or March. I know a few of you had mentioned in the past (Cubby?) that you were interested. These are the slower months, and a good time to do it so let me know. We do have our very 1st wine dinner (what the heck took us so long) scheduled for Monday February 28th at Cibo Matto Café. We are going to feature the excellent wines of the Francis Ford Coppola portfolio, paired with a 6 course meal made by Peter. We’re still working out the details but we’re hoping to keep the ticket price at $50 per person. It sounds like a lot, but where else can you get a fabulous 6 course dinner and 6 wines for 100 bucks a couple. We will have more info on this on the website (corksfinwine.com) and in future newsletters.

I think they are saying we’re getting another couple of inches of snow on Saturday. But at this point 2 or 3 inches is just a minor nuisance, so I expect to see you all here at the Superbrew VI Beer tasting.
