Beer Tasting 4 - 7pm Friday, Nov. 2nd



Your host will be Gerard from Goose Island Brewery.
In the picture circa 1967, you will see two of our employees, Mike and Alex along with Gerard standing at the tasting table that we still use today... erm, ok, that is a lie... It really does look like it could be from the 60's though and since the store has so much history, I'll bet some of you bit. It is Mike and Alex, along with Gerard but the picture was taken just a few minutes ago. Some very good Goose Island stuff to taste tonight so come by if you can.



Sofie $8.99 22oz.
Fermented with wild yeasts and aged in wine barrels with orange peel, Sofie is a tart, dry, sparkling ale. A subtle, spicy white pepper note, a hint of citrus from the orange peel and a creamy vanilla finish make Sofie an intriguing choice for Champagne drinkers and beer drinkers who are fond of Belgian Saisons.

Mathilde $8.99 22oz.
Wild in character, with a slightly fruity aroma and a spicy yeast flavor that is as unique as it is satisfying – Matilda is an intriguing choice for beer and wine lovers alike. Dry and quenching, it’s the perfect accompaniment at the dining table or for casually socializing at the bar.

Pere Jaques $8.99 22oz
Brewed with loads of malt and Belgian yeast, Pere Jacques is a wonderfully fruity, malty ale. Pere Jacques’ complex flavors stand shoulder to shoulder with the Belgian Dubbels enjoyed in the world’s finest beer bars. At the dining table it’s the perfect alternative to a glass of vintage port.

Pepe nero $8.99 22oz.
With an aroma of roasted chestnuts and a mysteriously dark, mahogany hue, Pepe Nero is a farmhouse ale brewed with black peppercorns. His roasty sweetness melds into a lingering, earthy, black pepper finish that is ideal for pairing with grilled meats and roasted vegetables.
