God, in His goodness sent the grapes to cheer both great and small; Little fools will drink too much, And great fools not at all.

ANONYMOUS






Claret is the liquor for boys; port for men; but he who aspires to be a hero must drink brandy.

SAMUEL JOHNSON







Thomas Jefferson helped stock the wine cellars of the first five U.S. presidents and was very partial to fine Bordeaux and Madeira.






To prevent a sparkling wine from foaming out of the glass, pour an ounce, which will settle quickly. Pouring the remainder of the serving into this starter will not foam as much.

Mayflower Brewing Company
Samuel Adams Imperial Series

Founded in 2007 by a tenth great grandson of John Alden, beer barrel cooper on board the Mayflower, we are dedicated to celebrating the history and legacy of the Pilgrims by creating unique, high-quality ales for the New England market.

Samuel Adams brewers are once again answering drinkers’ call for bigger, more intense craft brews with the Samuel Adams Imperial Series.

The Samuel Adams Imperial Series offers beer lovers intense versions of some of their favorite traditional beer styles by boosting the quantity of ingredients and testing the limits of each traditional style.

With more robust and complex flavors and nearly twice the alcohol by volume of your average beer, each style in the Imperial Series is intended to be savored and appreciated like a fine wine.

Eel River Brewing IPA Dogfish Head
Brewed with the finest organic malts and hops, our IPA features a bright-minted copper color and a crisp, yet smooth hop bitterness. Pale and crystal malts come through with a malty caramel sweetness, balanced with aggressively clean burst of fresh hop flavor in the middle palate without lingering bitter astringency. A strong floral and citrus character from generous dryhopping blends with strawberry esters from our house yeast strain for an inviting and satiating aroma. From grain to glass, our beers are fresh, pure, and organically certified to the highest standards.

Dogfish Head's signature product is its line of India Pale Ales (IPAs), which are offered in three varieties: 60 Minute, 90 Minute, and 120 Minute IPA.

As a brewery, Dogfish Head's output tends toward experimental or "extreme" beers, such as their tongue-in-cheek "Liquor de Malt," a bottle-conditioned malt liquor which typically comes in its own brown paper bag. Their products often use non-standard ingredients, such as green raisins in their "Raison D'Être". Some of their beers, including the WorldWide Stout, 120 Minute India Pale Ale, and the raspberry-flavored strong ale Fort, are highly alcoholic, reaching 18% to 20% alcohol by volume (typical beers have around 3% to 8% alcohol by volume).

Paulaner Oktoberfest Marzen Chang Beer ( Thailand )
Appearance: Perfectly clear amber-orange topped with smooth and creamy off-white head.

Smell: Caramel maltiness. The malt dominates the nose, not much in the way of hops.

Taste: Rich and malty... wheat/grain, grass; earthy. Light hops—very crisp and clean of the Noble variety. The "malty" has caramel, whole multi-grain bread, sweetness in a molasses kind of way (i.e., not too sweet, slightly bittersweet and thick).

Mouthfeel: Smooth, medium-bodied. Creamy rich.

Chang Beer has an alcohol content of 5% by volumer and discerning beer drinkers will appreciate its full bodied, citrus quality. Chang is fabulous on its own but its excellence can really be appreciated when you drink it with food. That's because it is specially brewed to compliment the exotic flavors and textures of flavorsome Thai dishes.

The first thing you'll notice is the color - rich golden honey. You'll appreciate the complex aromas - a smoky, peaty blend of sweet green apples and full-bodied vanilla.
