Thanks for reading our newsletter. I hope you enjoy some of the great things we have planned. This is the only place to get the first look at what's happening at The Tap Room! Kevin Torpey |
| Hard to believe but New Hampshire has the highest beer consumption per person in the United State. I guess that serves to once again confirm the old adage that the colder the state the more beer it drinks. New Hampshire citizens of drinking age enjoyed 43.4 gallons of beer per person last year, the equivalent of nearly 375 12-ounce cans. How does our beloved Garden State compare? Sad to say but we averaged only 24.1 gallons per person. Perhaps one reason for our lackluster showing is that it's sometimes difficult for new breweries to break into the NJ market. Well, here at the Tap Room were going to try to do something about it on Thursday June 28 6:30 PM to 9:30 PM as we present an Evening of NEW To New Jersey Craft Beer and Food Tasting! We will be featuring an array of breweries who have recently come to NJ because they believe that the people of our state truly do appreciate great craft beer. All of you who frequent the Tap Room have proven that their belief is well founded. We are craft beer lovers and proud of it! The Tap Room will be pouring the best from Epic, Lost Abby, Port Brewing, Mission, Goose Island, Firestone-Walker, Kona, Pyramid and more!! EPIC is Utah’s first brewery since prohibition to produce exclusively high alcohol content beer. EPIC took home six brewing medals at the recent Northern Brewers Association's Mountain Brewers Beer Festival! From San Diego, CA comes Port Brewing makers of their own line plus Lost Abby. Port Brewing has earned a reputation as one of the most remarkable new craft breweries in America. The brewery was named the 2007 Great American Beer Festival Small Brewery of the Year! We will also be serving brews from the Mission Brewery (CA), the winner of three Gold, three Silver and two Bronze medals at the GABF since their opening in an old Wonder Bread plant in 2007. |
| From Chicago I've secured Goose Island, winner of over 25 medals in the last decade at the Great American Beer Festival and the reigning silver medalist at the 2012 World Beer Fest. From California’s central coast comes the Firestone-Walker Company - an award winning, world class craft brewery known for using traditional English techniques that feature a system of linked barrels to produce richer and more complex ales. Kona Brewing Company joins us from Hawaii. Among their many award is the title of Best of the Northwest / Pacific won at the US Beer Championships! Rounding out our group is the Great American Beer Festivals' champion "Mid-Sized Brewery of the Year" winner- Pyramid, from Seattle, WA. Great beer calls for great food - and we have it! We will be offering a wide selection of outstanding fare, many of which will be prepared using the beers of the evening! Enjoy items such as Kobe Beef Sliders, Spicy Bock Linguine, Fish Taco Station, Buffalo Wings, Thin Crust Pizza, Fruit/Cheese Display, and assorted desserts. And to top things off we will have music by Tap Room favorite Cocktail Sauce All inclusive tickets at the door are $45 but if you make a reservation the cost is only $40.
