FREE EVENT

Join us this last Friday evening of September as we offer up a delicious line-up of adult beverages to head you into the Fall, We’ll kick off with BALLAST POINT BREWING CO. , the San Diego beer-maker that’s become incredibly popular around KC, who’ll be bringing these beers for you to try:

GRAPEFRUIT SCULPIN – the tart freshness of grapefruit perfectly complements their Sculpin IPA’s unique citrusy hop character.  Deserves its great 95 score on RateBeer.

GRUNION PALE ALE – award-winning hoppy pale ale with strong yet balanced summer melon aromas and herbal flavors, and a soft caramel malt sweetness to hold it all together. Earns its well-deserved 98 score on RateBeer.

DEAD RINGER – a well-balanced Oktoberfest with an abundance of toasted malt and a lower hop bitterness, this dark reddish brown lager is loaded with sweet, caramel toffee flavors and aromas.

PUMPKIN DOWN – they take the caramel and toffee maltiness of their Piper Down Scottish ale as the perfect backdrop for a boatload of roasted pumpkin complemented by a subtle amount of spice.

For the liquor, we’ll be tasting all the spirits available from our local TOM’S TOWN DISTILLERY (located over on Main St.). This a great opportunity for you to sample these premium liquors:

PENDERGAST’S ROYAL GOLD BOURBON – this 90 Proof Bourbon offers a rich warmth with a smooth and well-balanced flavor, finished in hand-selected 14-year-old port casks.

McELROY’S CORRUPTION GIN – this 90 Proof favorite  is a complex, spicy and botanical New Western style gin.

ELI’S STRONGARM VODKA – one of the best out there, this is a pure, smooth and imposing vodka, distilled 16 times.

And for the wines, our fantastic rep from Pinnacle will be tempting your taste buds by bringing these:

GARNACHA DE FUEGO ROSE – earning a score of 90 points from Robert Parker, this Grenache rose, aged totally in stainless steel, is fresh, lively, ripe, medium-bodied and offers delicate strawberry and cranberry fruit notes, with a hint of pomegranate. Listed as one of Parker’s top value wines.

RECUERDO MALBEC – earning a score of 90 points from Robert Parker, this wine is fresh and smooth, showcasing a purity of fruit with refined flavors of raspberry, currant and savory spice, and a finish that is supple and persistent in length.

THREE BROOMS SAUVIGNON BLANC – earning a score of 90 points from Wine Spectator, this New Zealand wine is fresh, bright, slightly spicy, mineral (wet stone) and broad with a fruit character that offers tropical flavors of ripe citrus, papaya and kiwi-fruit.
