This is huge

Im still trying to catch my breath here but next week we have an incredible line up of events. If you didn't know the Craft Brewers Conference takes place next week in Boston (http://www.beertown.org/events/cbc/). This seminal event brings brewers and brew staff from all over the world to Beantown. What does that mean for us? Tastings with brewers! To celebrate craft beer we are hosting three tasting events next week, taking over the Wine Gallery Brookline all weekend.

Thursday 4/23, 5-7pm
Nogne O (www.nogne-o.com/)
Jolly Pumpkin (www.jollypumpkin.com/homepage.htm)
High & Mighty (www.highandmightybeer.com/)

Not only are we going to be pouring a huge array of brews from all three of these amazing breweries, but brewing staff will be on hand. Im talking Ron Jeffries, Will Shelton, and a whole slew of Nogne folks. If you don't recognize these names, show up and find out why you should.

Friday 4/24 5-7pm
Aspall Cyder (www.aspall.co.uk/)

Aspall makes a range of authentic and delicious ciders. Aspall ciders are always prepared entirely from whole fruit by the Chevallier family who have occupied the Aspall farm for over 300 years. Please come see what real rustic cider tastes like.

Saturday 4/25 3-6pm

Weekly Update

We are thrilled to be pouring the new Brooklyn Local 2 in both Brookline and Kenmore this Thursday for you thirsty readers. In addition Brookline will be featuring the Local 1 and the Pennant Ale. Our Thursday tastings are always free and open to the public. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to call.

Brookline 5-7pm
Kenmore 6-8pm

Thanks to all who came out on Saturday for our Spring Grand Wine Tasting in Brookline, the event was a great success.

The Second Coming pt. 2

At long last we have received another, albeit small, shipment of Troegs Nugget Nectar 6-packs. Our distributor is limiting cases per account so unfortunately we don't have nearly as much as we'd like to offer. As promised since the beer is on the shelf the update is on the blog. Thanks for your patience.

Also this week we received some other tasty bottles:
Dieu Du Ciel Rosee d'Hibiscus
Dieu Du Ciel Peche Mortel
Great Divide Espresso Oaked Yeti
Southern Tier Oaked Unearthly
Brooklyn Local 2


Cheers!

The Second Coming

Next week is one of those rare Wine Gallery weeks when we DO NOT have a Thursday beer tasting. Fret not however, because Saturday, March 7, from 3-6pm is our annual Spring Grand Wine Tasting. Featuring over 100 wines, this delight is free and open to the public. To prepare however we are all tied up and worn out. So, no beer tasting 3/5 unfortunately. Sorry.

But....Thursday, March 12 we are thrilled to announce that Patrick Paulick from the Brooklyn Brewery will be on hand to pour the brand new Brooklyn Local 2. The beer is so new in fact, there's not even a page for it yet on their website. Please check it out with us on 3/12, 5-7pm. Cheers!
