Sierra Nevada Ruthless Rye @ $8.99/12-pack

Posted on by — Leave a comment

It may technically be out of beer season (Sam Adams Summer just hit the shelves,) but it definitely is not out of our minds.  Spring just started and we thought it wise to offer a spring beer during the season it was brewed for.  Sierra Navada is a staple craft beer that has set and reset the bar for quality and consistency, their Ruthless Rye is no exception; a spicy and rugged IPA with fruity, citrus and herbal hop notes balanced with the dry spiciness of the rye, making the beer aggressive yet comforting.  The Ruthless may be an excellent beer, but we’ve made it better by putting it on sale for $8.99 per 12-pack.  Don’t hesitate because the price will disappear as soon as the product does.  

What Happened to the Wine Spectator’s Top 100 of 2012?

Ever wonder what goes into creating the Top 100 wines?  I’m not sure either, but in my mind it goes something like this:

WS- “Is Excel open?”

Igor- “Yes, master.”

WS- “Are the columns for wine, score, and price-to-value ratio set up?” Continue reading What Happened to the Wine Spectator’s Top 100 of 2012?

The Ardbeg Rocket Tour!

Posted on by — Leave a comment

Friday, October 12th from 4-7pm

Along with a massive rocket we will be showing an incredible line up from Ardbeg:

10yr, Corryvreckan, Uigeadail and… well, you will just have to find out for yourself

If you are not a fan already, it is time to become one.  Ardbeg is just so good.  Revered around the world as the peatiest, smokiest, most complex single malt of them all. Yet it does not flaunt the peat; rather it gives way to the natural sweetness of the malt to produce a whisky of perfect balance.  Typically most whiskies are chill-filtered and reduced to a strength of 40% ABV. Ardbeg Ten Years Old, however, is non chill-filtered and has a strength of 46% ABV, thus retaining maximum flavour, at the same time giving more body and added depth.
