Cork's Soggy Newsletter

Welcome to Cork’s soggy newsletter. Will this rain ever stop? It’s a good think the world is ending Saturday because I’m not sure how much more of this I can stand. At least we have the Bruins to root on as they squared the best of 7 series at 1 each last night. And the Sox are a game over .500 with their recent sweep of the evil empire. And we have the opening of Great Woods this weekend with 2 shows. Yes I know it’s the Comcast Center now, but they already changed it once to the Tweeter Center and in my book if you change it again it reverts back to the original name. Besides Great Woods just sounds so much better.

We’re going to offer a special incentive to all you folks going to the concerts this weekend. Just show your ticket stub for Sugarland or the Kiss 108 show and we’ll throw in 1 bag of ice (5lb) with your purchase for you. We also have your red “concert” cups, coolers, beer pong supplies, and of course all your beer, wine, and liquor needs all covered.

This week’s Thursday night beer tasting (4:30 to 7 PM) is with our friends from Berkshire Brewing Company out in Western Mass. Marc tells me they are going to do their entire lineup of 22 oz beers so without further ado here is what they will be sampling…Gold Spike Ale…Steel Rail Extra Pale Ale…Berkshire Traditional Ale…Maibock Lager…Cabin Fever Ale…Lost Sailor IPA…River Ale…Shabadoo Black & Tan…Drayman’s Porter…and Coffeehouse Porter. These are great local beers and they don’t get down here much so be sure to stop in and get 10 % off any of the beers you try. Wallace says…lower your carbon footprint…buy local!!

I don’t have a wine tasting lined up this week as I know you are all still buzzing about last week’s amazing Rose tasting event. All kidding aside it went well and gave you all a chance to try some other Pink wines from around the world and to see how truly awful White Zin really is. I have a bunch of wine tastings scheduled for the summer months and we will be posting them on the website at http://www.corksfinewine.com/
