Christmas Beer Tasting

Featuring

Ridgeway Brewing

Thursday, December 7

5:30 - 7:30 p.m.

$5/Person

Ridgeway Brewing, located in Oxfordshire, England is a rather young brewery, starting in 2002 by Master Brewer Peter Scholey and his wife Vanda. The brewery is named after the ancient (5000 year old) 87 mile long Ridgeway Trading Route now used as a recreational trail. The brewery happens to be located alongside the trail hence the brewery name.

We featured Ridgeway Brewing in a well received tasting about 6 years ago. Because of changes in distribution, Ridgeway became extremely scarce in North Carolina. Now the beer is back and we will be featuring their amusing and great tasting Christmas labels on this tasting. Make sure you don't miss this one, especially since you can say "I drank Santa's Butt".

Chianti is not a grape varietal but a region in central Tuscany, Italy. Although not as popular as a few decades ago, Chianti bottles came wrapped in a basket called a fiasco. Today, only a few producers continue to bottles clad in a fiasco. This wine tasting will feature the wines of Cologonole Estate Vineyards which is a small vineyard located in the heart of Tuscany. Koichi will be at our shop leading this tasting will answer all of your questions on these fine wines.
