While we’re in the welcoming mode I’d like
to introduce Marc, our new beer manager. He
joined the Cork’s team this week and will be
running all things beer here at the store.
He is an accomplished home brewer and a
member of the South Shore Brew Club. He has
some great ideas and is already cleaning up
the microbrew section. He already has some
of his personal favorites coming in this
week. Please feel free to ask him any
questions you might have, or to try and
track down that special hard to find beer.
He will be setting up the Thursday night
beer tastings and even doing a few himself
so you can introduce yourself to him. He
will also be working with the vendors on
getting the cooler reset in the very near
future. So welcome aboard Marc. We looked
forward to the new and improved beer
department here at Cork’s.
Staying in the beer department we had our 1st
ever “Customer Beer Tasting” with Donnie
last week. He had a huge crowd and did an
amazing job. We will be willing to do one
of these type tastings a month, so talk to
Marc or myself for details. This week we
have Zach from Newport Storm here for our
Thursday night beer tasting from 4:30 to 7
PM. He will be pouring the Hurricane Amber
Ale (now available in 12 packs as well as
6’ers), Rhode Island Blueberry, Regenscauer
Oktoberfest, Cyclone Series Ophelia which is
a peach Ale, and the “09 Storm of the Season
cork finished 750 ml which is a Belgian
Influenced Dessert IPA….mmmmmm sounds yummy!
We don’t have a wine tasting scheduled for
this week as we get ready for next week’s
huge 6th Annual Grand Fall Wine
Tasting. I have the lineup almost done and
I think it’s one of the best lineups ever.
I will post more info on the
