Beer Tasting 4 - 7pm Friday, Jan 27


Your host will be Mike Tobin of Worldwide Wines.
Some of our long time customers might remember Mike from his time at Harry's a few years back. He was a regular on our staff first as a cashier and then as one of our wine specialists after he caught the bug and got interested in wine. Mike has been a great success for us and was one of the graduates of the Harry's training program that moved out into the industry to work. He now sells wine for Worldwide Wine co., which is arguably the best wine distribution company in Connecticut. Most people won't remember it but he also had a short stint on the beer side of the store while he was employed with us. Mike has always been eager to learn and is an engaging guy, not only that but he is pouring some nice beer today so come down, say hi and try these...

Duvel $10.99/750ml
Four generations of the Moortgat family have brought together Pilsner malts, Bohemian hops, and a unique yeast strain to create this intense, aromatic and beguiling ale. This Belgian favorite is best enjoyed chilled (40 - 50 F) with discerning friends or good-looking strangers.

Forest Organic Saison $8.99/750ml
Brewed from 100% organically cultivated hops and barley and filtered artesian well water. Bottle conditioned. Deliciously rustic with a full malty body, notes of clove and pepper, with a dry herbal finish.

Ommegang Witte $7.49/750ml
Ommegang Witte, a traditional Belgian-style wheat ale with whispers of sweet orange and a touch of tart lemon. Soft and seductive, Ommegang Witte is this summer's version of spicy intrigue and refreshing flavor.

Ommegang Three Philosopher $9.99/4pb
Three Philosophers is a remarkable limited edition strong ale brewed by Brewery Ommegang in response to a home brewer’s description of his dream beer. Realbeer.com, the internet’s largest beer website, hosted a contest called “Create a Great Beer.” Brewery Ommegang was chosen by Realbeer.com to brew the Belgian-style ale for the winning essayist. Noel Blake, a home brewer from Portland wrote the winning description for what his “dream beer” would be like.
