Tasty Beverages This Week

We've been having such a great time enjoying these last weeks of summer. From the Irish Fair to the Taste of the Visa Championships and everything in between, Cork's has been living life to the fullest (as we hope you are too)!

This week, we've got some new suds for your enjoyment and a great wine feature.

We've added Summit Oktoberfest to our tap list. According to Summit, Oktoberfest is "brewed in the classic Märzen style with Northern Brewer hops from Germany. Rich, toffee malt flavors up front with a clean hop finish as crisp as the autumn air." Oktoberfest is a seasonal beer, so get it while it's here!

We also have two new bottled beer features this week. Sam Adams Octoberfest and Dark Horse Sapient Trip Ale. 

According to the brewer, "Samuel Adams Octoberfest masterfully blends together five roasts of malt to create a delicious harmony of sweet flavors including caramel and toffee. The malt is complimented by the elegant bitterness imparted by the Bavarian Noble hops."

Dark Horse states that their Sapient Trip Ale is brewed "with a Trappist yeast strain so it is very traditional. The flavors are incredibly complex with notes of mild fruit and finishes with a bit of clove. Although this beer is higher in alcohol it is very smooth and finishes dry on the pallet."

We've also got a great wine feature this week. Bottles of Rodney Strong Merlot are just $26 and glasses are just $5. The winemaker's notes: "Plum and blueberry flavors with a touch of dried herb predominate in this soft, rich, mouth filling merlot, and are enhanced by aging in small oak barrels for a toasty, spicy vanilla character, and a lingering berry-cream finish."

So stop in this week for some tasty beverages! If you're also looking for a great deal, stop in today, Wednesday, August 17 and show your bartender some love! Summit Oktoberfest taps will be just $4 ALL day; otherwise, there's always Happy Hour. $3 for glasses of house wine, $2 for standard taps and bottles, and $3 premium taps and bottles. Not too shabby! 

S'lainte!
