Beer Tasting 4 - 7pm Friday, Sep 16






Your host is Harry's own, The Master of Suds, Renzo Kian.


As the cooler weather begins to push into our area the timing could not be better to taste a few beers that are distinctly made for this time of the year. Interesting to note that by the time Octoberfest is in full swing most of the beer named for the celebration have long since sold out and the folks looking for them are disappointed. The good news is that we have a great supply of them in stock right now and you have the opportunity to stock up in advance of the celebration. As the coming weeks bring the temperature down, the leaves begin to change and the Football teams take the field my favorite time of the year rolls in. I love the crisp air and picking my pumpkin for Halloween. For my money there is no prettier time in New England than the fall season and in particular the third week of October. Just a few short weeks away!

Ayinger Oktoberfest $3.49/16oz
Ayinger Oktober Fest Märzen has a deep golden color tinted with amber. It is lightly sweet with a malty nose balanced with floral hops. Its medium to big body and alcohol is not overpowering. The soft dryness comes from long maturation.


Ayinger Celebrator $13.99/4pb
Celebrator has a creamy head of tight bubbles contrasting beautifully with its profound dark robe. It is full-bodied and velvety from half a year's aging. Although it is strong, it is not overpowering. There is a wonderful and complex balance between the various malts, the alcohol and the subtle hops. A complex fruitiness of roasted malt and whole hop flowers make Celebrator great as a party drink with friends and family at celebrations. Despite its richness, it has a faintly smoky dryness in the finish.


Lindemans Faro $6.29/12oz
It’s made from malt, wheat, hops, water, yeast. Candy sugar is added before the bottling takes place. It is a clear, light red colored faro lambic with a small, creamy head.
