I would first like to remind everyone that we provide a number of interesting tastings for both craft beer and liquor products at both our Muncie and Yorktown Friendly Package Liquor locations. We put on a craft beer tasting at our Yorktown location from 4pm-7pm on Wednesdays, a craft beer tasting at our Muncie location from 6pm-8pm on Thursdays, as well as a liquor tasting from 5pm-7:30pm at our Yorktown location, and a liquor tasting at our Muncie location 8pm-11pm on Thursdays.
This week we tasted out ‘Not Your Father’s Root Beer’, and ‘Sprecher Hard Root Beer” from Small Town Brewery and Sprecher Brewery, respectively. Both of these choices have been highly revered for their quality and unique take on what should be incorporated in a hard root beer. The general consensus is that ‘Not Your Father’s Root Beer” tastes more like a traditional root beer… Where as Sprecher’s Hard Root beer is more along the lines of an ale spiced like a root beer.
We also tasted out a few flavors in the Calico Jack rum line. We tasted the Calico Jack Spiced Rum, Calico Jack Black Spiced Rum, as well as the Calico Jack Cherry Spiced Rum. Each provide a nice twist on traditional Caribbean rum. Both the normal Spiced, and the Black Spiced, have fairly heavy vanilla notes throughout. The Black Spiced rum has a slight hit of roast incorporated from the charred oak barrels it is aged in. The Cherry Spiced rum has fairly heavy cherry notes that are carried alongside the vanilla undertones dancing throughout. As a result, most people enjoyed this product mixed with Coca Cola or Cherry Coke.
I would like to take this time to remind everyone that our weekly sales will be good through the fifteenth of June. This includes some incredible deals on such things as ‘Admiral Nelson’ (all flavors), 1.75L for $14.97, ‘Calico Jack’ Rum (all flavors, excluding ‘94’), for $7.97, ‘Pinnacle’ Vodka (all flavors), for $8.97, and ’99 Schnapps’ (all flavors), for $12.97. The ’99 Schnapps’ line are very popular - being 99 Proof while still retaining a smoothness comparable to any other line of schnapps available.
We also have some SPECIAL tasting events coming up in the very near future. This Saturday (6/13/15), we will be hosting a Craft Beer Tasting at our Muncie location from 12pm-2pm. This will include 20+ beers, representatives from breweries involved, as well as food – provided by Muncie’s Barn Brassserie. This is a ticket-only event; if you are interested in attending – stop by our Muncie or Yorktown location for tickets or details. There will also be after-party at The Fickle Peach from 3pm-6pm.
The following Saturday (6/20/15), we shall be providing a Bourbon Tasting at our Yorktown Location from 4pm-7pm. We will have representatives on-site to provide information and answer any questions regarding the various Bourbons that shall be tasted out.
Last, but not least – Father’s day is quickly approaching (falling on the twenty-first, this year)! Don’t buy Dad yet ANOTHER neck-tie he doesn’t really need! Why don’t you buy him something he will use and enjoy? We provide a large number of unique gift-sets that cater to any taste your father might have. Stop into one of our convenient locations and inquire as to what sets we might have in stock!
