Microbrew Monday Tasting


This week's Microbrew Monday selections come from England and Scotland, in celebration of the return of two of our favorite brews by Innis & Gunn! Stop into any of our three locations this Monday, August 1st from 5-7PM to sample any four of these craft beers.

  • Innis & Gunn Original- Oak barrels once used to mature bourbon contribute to a depth of taste and aromas of vanilla, toffee and orange.
  • Innis & Gunn Rum Cask- Light in texture, soft fruits and malt fill the palate, balanced by a lively spiciness and finishing with a pleasant lingering sweetness.
  • St. Peter's Grapefruit Ale- Grapefruit and wheat beer combine, offering notes of zesty grapefruit among a harmony of hops and malt.
  • St. Peter's Organic English Ale- This traditional English ale is made from organic hops and St. Peter's own single strand yeast, offering clean, crisp flavors and a citrus aftertaste.
  • St. Peter's Cream Stout- A blend of local barley malts and traditional English hops create an aromatic, dark chocolate cream stout with a satisfying bittersweet aftertaste.

Saturday Wine Tasting: Hot-Diggity-Dog Wines

The National Hot Dog and Sausage Council (a legit organization) estimates that Americans consume upwards of 20 billion hot dogs a year. And fittingly enough, this Saturday, July 23rd is National Hot Dog Day. So belly up to our tasting counters this Saturday from 12-4PM for a taste of these wines that go great with America’s favorite meat-in-tube-form.

-Casa Dora Cava: Believe it or not, one of the best matches to rich foods can be a palate cleansing Spanish bubbly. Try a deep fried Jersey Ripper or a bacon and bean-topped Sonoran with this one.

-Mud Pie Chardonnay: Crisp and refreshing, this Mendocino Chardonnay washes down a veggie-topped Chicago Dog or Southern Slaw Dog like nothing else.

-The Culprit Sonoma Red Wine: A Syrah and Zinfandel based Sonoma blend that’s full of rich berry fruits and hints of spice is a perfect match to chili topped Michigan Red Hots or Coneys.

Saturday Wine Tasting: Wines 4 Chillin’

Don’t look at the thermometer outside your kitchen window. You don’t want to know just how hot it is out there. Suffice to say, there’s one thing and one thing only you need to stock up on for this weekend: wine that you can chill to cool, refreshing perfection. So stop in to one of our fully air-conditioned stores this Saturday, July 16th from 12 to 4PM for a taste of three wines that are perfect when CHILLED. Then run home, crank up the AC or throw a raft in that pool, pop these in the fridge…and chill.

-Callia Torrontes: A light, tropical aromatic white wine from the highland subtropical growing region of Salta Argentina.

-Michel Thomas Sancerre Lachaume: A crisp, mineral-laden French Sauvignon Blanc with mouth-watering acidity.

-Saint Tropez Cuvee Cep D’Or Rose Provence: A soft, strawberry and blood-orange laden Rose from Provence, France.

-Louis Turquin Morgon: One of the few red wines that’s light and acidic enough to put a slight chill on before serving.
