Beer Tasting 4 - 7pm Friday, May 18





Your host is Nicole, representing Heineken USA.







New Castle Summer $8.99/6pb
"The Hoppings" - reputedly the largest traveling fair in Europe, takes place on Newcastle Town Moor every June. Several origins has been suggested for the name. It may derive from the word "Hoppen" an Old English word for dancing or funfair. It has even been suggested that people "hopped" about itching due to fleas caught from animals that travelled with the fair. However, we’d like to think it may relate to the quality hops used in the brewing of our famous beer. Enjoy Newcastle Summer Ale at the fair or wherever you are this summer.

As a side note...

In the coming weeks Harry's is going to help launch a couple of red hot labels to Connecticut. They are in some other markets and doing very well and we finally have them crossing the border to our state! Our shop has is one of a very few that will be introducing the labels with a special launch tasting is scheduled for Saturday June 2nd from noon - 3pm. Do you know whats coming? Want a clue... Stop in and ask Renzo for details or keep your eyes and ears open for more information in the coming week.
