ton of tastings lined up on both the beer and wine
side. You must check out the lineup at

booked right into the summer months.
Our friend Bud from Atlantic Imports will be here

from Dogfish Head. They are 1 of the leaders in the
American microbrew revolution, and will be featured
in the Beers Wars movie showing nationwide (and at
Patriot Place) at 8 PM on Thursday. This movie
documents the history of American microbrews, and
will be shown in 450 theaters across the USA for 1
night only. It will be followed by a live simulcast
discussion featuring Jim Koch from Sam Adams…Greg
Koch from Stone Brewing…Todd
Alstrom the founder of BeerAdvocate…and the owners

Bud will be sampling this outstanding lineup from
Dogfish Head. 60 minute IPA…90 minute IPA…Indian
Brown Ale…Raison D’Etre…Palo Santo Marron…Midas
Touch…and Aprihop. This will be 1 of the best
tastings of the year, and with 10% off any Dogfish
Head beers that night, 1 you should not miss. Josh
and I will be heading over to Patriot Place for the
big event and welcome you to join us. In fact Josh
said he’d buy any of our regular customers a beer
after the show!!
Erin from J. Polep
will be here for this weeks wine tasting which will
be on Saturday this week from 2 to 5 PM. She will
be featuring wines to help celebrate Earthday, which
is next week on April 22nd. She will
start with Peter Brum Riesling from Germany. Next
will be 3 brand new organic wines from Earth 2.0.
These delicious Spanish wines feature a Tempranillo,
a Tempranillo/Cabernet blend, and a Reserve
Tempranillo/Merlot. She will finish the tasting
with a value Italian wine called Brumante
Montepulciano D’Abruzzo that is just $7.99 or 2 for
$14. With the purchase of any 4 of these wines, you
will receive a cool 4 bottle earth friendly wine bag
for free!!!
Well as I write
this Tim Wakefield has a no-no going into the 8th
and the Sox are up 8-0. Let’s hope this will be the
kick they need to change the early season funk they
have been in. While we are on the sports theme,
with the Bruins starting their Stanley Cup run
Saturday at the Garden at 8 PM we will get the
playoffs rolling with a Molson Beer Tasting.from 5
to 7 PM. We have a hockey goal on our front display
and an authentic Bruins game jersey signed by the
entire lineup of the 2009 team. Unfortunately we
will only be giving you a Molson pint glass with the
purchase of a 12-pk or any (2) six-pks of Molson.
But hey you also get 10 % of on the beer and what
better way to get ready for the B’s and
Canadians…Eh?
