CASK ALE WAS GREAT FUN!

The first annual Cask Ale held at Aromas Wine Bar on Sunday was really alot of fun. Beer enthusiasts, friends, and neighbors gathered to taste 12 special casks. It could not have been a more beautiful Fall day. Looking around it seemed fun was being had by all.



My favorite was the Duck Rabbit Porter w/ Michigan Bing Cherries. And I really liked Copper Creek's Pumpkin Ale - that was really delicious.

Be sure to join us next year - it is sure to be even bigger and better.

AROMAS CASK ALE FESTIVAL - November 15, 2009

Remember that there will be 12 incredible cask ales at AROMAS (1235 S Milledge Ave., Athens, GA) on Sunday starting around 1 PM. If you don't want to pay $30 to try all dozen, then each half pint sample will be only $3. Parking will be sparse, but it is Sunday, so you can park almost anywhere - including the spaces behind Aromas, in the 5 Points Bottle Shop lot, neighborhood streets and some of the empty lots just down Lumpkin Street. Do NOT park in the waffle house lot! Come on by! This is the first pub-based cask fest in the Southeast and will be a blast! Spread the word! Get tickets NOW to sample ALL the casks at http://www.aromaswinebar.com/AromasCalendar.html. Or just show up on Sunday and get half pints for only $3 each until the casks are drained. A free pint glass and live music are included, and food items will be on sale. Bring a folding chair if you want your own seat in the front parking lot.
