Sour Growler Tuesday, BACCO Beer Dinner, Westbrook Launch & More!

A Very Sour Rare Beer Tuesday (12/14)
Ever since we ran Petrus Aged Pale draft for growler fills, people have been begging for us to put it on again.  The draft version of this beer was a one time, commemorative release and we wanted to save the last keg for a while.  With the Christmas season in full swing, we thought this was the right time to put a smile on all the sour-heads faces so at 5pm tomorrow (Tuesday) we'll be offering growlers of this most sour gem!  The draft of this is markedly more sour than its original, bottled counter-part so if you are a fan of barrel aged sour/wild ales you do not want to miss this one!  At 7.3% ABV and barrel aged for over 20 months, the flavor and aroma of this golden blonde ale are incomparable.

BACCO Italian Beer Dinner (12/16)
Please join us for our final beer dinner event of 2010.  We are wrapping the year up
with a bang!  This will be a truly spectacular evening featuring rare and exquisite craft beers from Italy and the divine food of Michael Scognamiglio, owner/chef of BACCO Italian Restaurant!  Over an intimate evening of five courses, artisinal Italian craft beers with a holiday/seasonal slant will be presented.  Each perfectly paired course is sure to delight the novice and connoisseur alike.

Reservations are limited, and required, so call BACCO at  843.884.6969 to reserve your spot.  This will be a perfect occasion for small group holiday parties or to give a unique pre-Christmas
gift!  For complete menu details and additional information please visit our web site post here:  Italian Beer Dinner Menu.  To request a vegetarian option or discuss dietary concerns, please
contact the restaurant.  This will truly be a night to remember.  We hope you can join us!
