Save the date! No Kick-off Beer Tasting but Oktoberfest instead!

Welcome to Cork’s weekly newsletter. I hope you’re all enjoying the beautiful summer weather we have been having lately. Not to put a damper on your summer fun, but have you noticed the days getting a little shorter…the nights a bit cooler…the Patriots opening up the pre-season…and yes, even Pumpkin and Oktoberfest beers trickling into Cork’s.

Speaking of Oktoberfest, due to some scheduling conflicts with a few of our vendors we have made some changes for our next major tasting. Instead of our 6th Annual Kick-Off Beer Tasting we are going to have our 1st Annual? (we’ll see how it goes) Oktoberfest Beer Tasting on Saturday October 1st from 2 to 5 PM. We will have much more details on this event in future newsletters, and on our website at www.corksfinewine.com.

Speaking of beer tastings, Marc will be doing tonight’s (Thursday) tasting from 4:30 to 7 PM. Here is the lineup he has chosen for your beer tasting pleasure: Lagunitas Little Sumpin Wild…North Coast Red Seal Ale…Ommegang Belgian Pale Ale…Rogue Morimoto Soba Ale…and Bellhaven Wee Heavy Scotch Ale. Sounds like a pretty interesting lineup if I do say so myself. We will take another week off from the wine tastings as I recover from my hernia surgery and can’t stand for 3 hours. I will have one lined up with a rep, or do 1 next week myself, I promise.

Here’s hoping the Pats have an injury free pre-season on their way to the Super Bowl. And it’s been awhile since I’ve mentioned… how bout those Sox with the best record in the American League after that dismal start. Have a great weekend folks and we’ll see you soon.
