Saturday Samplings

Hope you all had as nice a Thanksgiving holiday as we did!

Tomorrow (Saturday) will be a fun day at the sampling table. As usual on every Saturday, we’ll be pouring free tastings.  Tomorrow you can try:

• Boom Boom Syrah – a big, smoky fruit bomb of a syrah/shiraz.
• North Coast Scrimshaw Pilsner – included in our Crazy Beer Sale
• North Coast Bro. Thelonious Abbey Ale – also included in our Crazy Beer Sale (see older posts for details on the Crazy Beer Sale, which continues through this weekend)

We’ll crack bottles around noon and continue pouring free samples until 10pm or until we run out, whichever comes first. If you’re out shopping or just interested in learning more about wines and beers and trying new things, be sure to stop by.

See you then!

We also have a few kegs of Rogue Somer, which is a light-drinking Orange Honey Ale (gets great reports from those who’ve tried it). Full-size kegs reg. $175, on sale for $40 (keg deposit not included). And yes, we’ve proofread this post already, and none of these prices are typos!

First come, first served! See you soon….

 

Crazy Beer Sale

Just a quick alert that we have negotiated some crazy cheap beer prices for this weekend:

Bud Light 24oz cans, case of 15 for $17.00 (reg. 1.69 each, so it’s like buy 10, get 5 free.)

Michelob Ultra 24pk cans for only $14.99 (get a 24 pack for the price of an 18 pack.)

Bro. Thelonious Abbey Ale, 4pk, reg. $13.49, now just $4.99 (not a typo).

Spaten Oktoberfest 6pk, reg. $8.99 now just $4.99.

All prices are only good while supplies last, which is probably only for the weekend. And as always, we don’t charge extra to get it cold.

Stop in asap….
