Join us as we return to Thursday Beer Tastings and more...

Welcome to Cork’s weekly newsletter. I hope everybody had a nice Valentine’s Day. We sure had a fun Valentine’s Day wine tasting with the “Wrap Girls” Aimee and Clara last Friday night. As always they did a great job and a big thanks to them and all their friends who joined us. I don’t have a wine tasting this Friday night but I have Mike from Quandrant Software here next Friday night so be sure to mark your calendars for that one. The next couple of months are a good time of the year if anybody else is interested in doing a “Customer Wine or Beer Tasting”. Just shoot me an e-mail, or come talk to Marc or myself and we’ll be happy to set one up.

Marc is getting us back into the Thursday night (4:30 to 7) beer tastings after a couple weeks off following the big Superbrew event. Here is a list of what he will be pouring tonight: Sam Adams Cinder Bock and Griffin’s Bow…Wachusett Imperial Black IPA…Beer Republic Hop Rod Rye…Unibroue Don de Dieu…and Southern Tier Unearthly. Once again that sure sounds like a pretty impressive lineup, most of which I’ve never had…and a few I’ve never even heard of. So I think you should help kick-start our Thursday night beer tastings tonight. Spread the word to your friends, family, and co-workers and let’s get these tastings rolling right into the spring and summer months.

Have you checked out Marc’s mix-a-six section yet? Located in the first cooler door you’ll find a selection of single Imports and American Craft beers from German Hefeweizens to inky, dark Porters and Stouts to tongue buckling American IPA’s and more. This 40 beer selection will be continuously rotating so give it a look whenever you’re in the store. You just might find your new favorite beer so grab one or mix a six!

Also featured in the beer department this month is our new Beer of The Month – a handpicked selection from Marc that you’ll only be able to find here at Cork’s. Inside this 12pk is 3 bottles each of Peak Organics Hop Noir Black IPA, Southern Tier’s Eurotrash Pilz, Smuttynose Robust Porter, and Victory Headwaters Pale Ale. $14.99 and each 12pk comes with a FREE pint glass from any of the breweries selected in this variety pack. Don’t miss out on the Beer of the Month tasting next Thursday from 4:30 – 7:00.
