Beer Tasting 4 - 7pm Friday, Oct 14


Your host is Jared of Harpoon, With Jared today is our own Renzo Kian and a good Harry's customer and suds appreciator, Dan Carlucci, you might recognize him from his band String fingers. They are a good Folk/Americana band out of Easton, more on them here and if you sit and listen for a minute that is them playing in the background.

On another note... Renzo just finished nailing down the beer dinner that we are doing with Barcelona. Scroll down for some specifics-


Tonights line-up:
Harpoon Docesna Czech Hop $5.59/22ozBeer has inspired traditions and celebrations across the world. As brewers, there is one festival in particular that has intrigued us because it is devoted to a single beer ingredient: hops. The Doèesná hop festival celebrates the harvest of hops, grown in the area surrounding the Bohemian city of Zatec. The area has a long history as one of the world’s eminent hop growing regions. This is commemorated annually with music, dancing, hop-picking competitions, and beer drinking. An inspiration indeed for brewing a beer! This deep chestnut colored ale uses Sládek hops imported from the Zatec region. The Sladek hops provide a clean, slightly bitter but smooth finish. With a medium body, it is well balanced beer. A great choice for celebrations.

Leviathan IPA $10.29/4pbOur Imperial IPA is loaded with big, juicy American hop character and balanced by a strong, malty backbone. A massive hop profile dominates.

Leviathan Triticus $10.29/4pbOne of the special barrel-aged versions, aged in Buffalo Trace straight bourbon whiskey barrels. A strong and dark wheat wine style ale. Brewed with 50 percent malt and 50 percent wheat; including German chocolate and caramel wheat and Munich malt; spiced with four hop varities (57 IBU), and fermented clean with the Chico yeast strain

The beer dinner presented by Harry's Wine & Liquor, along with Bacelona Restaurant and features Berkshire brewing will take place on Monday November 7th at 7:00pm. The cost will be $42 per person + tax and tip. That includes 5 courses paired with 5 different beers! Stop by and talk to Renzo about the specifics of the pairings and get a copy of the menu for the evening, it looks great.
