Beer Tasting: Cask Wednesday with Cavalry Brewing Company, May 16th

Location: Cavalry Brewing Company, 115 Hurley Rd. Bldg 9A, Oxford 

Date: Wednesday, May 16th 5:00PM - 7:00PM

The Skinny:  The great people at Cavalry Brewing Company in Oxford want you to stop on by for "Cask Wednesday"  All you need to do is bring 5 bucks and your own drinking glass and the folks at Cavalry Brewing Company will provide the rest.

     *They do ask that you don't bring a gigantic liter sized mug as this is a community event.

What is "the rest" you ask?  "The rest" is some of Cavalry Brewing Company's Cask Beer, a Brewery Tour and an awesome time with fellow Connecticut Craft Beer aficionados.

Mike and Justin from Cavalry Brewing Company will be on hand to answer any questions you may have.

The goal of the evening is to educate the beer community on cask conditioned ales and to introduce local craft beer fans to one of Connecticut's best breweries!

Sounds like a great deal.

The Skinny:  The great folks from Cisco Brewers (Nantucket) will be making the journey to The Cask Republic (New Haven) for what is sure to be an awesome Beer Dinner.  Cisco Brewers produce some of the best craft beer in the country including: Indie Pale Ale, Bailey's Blonde Ale, The Grey Lady, Whale's Tale Pale Ale (Ah, just typing "Whale's Tale" gave me an instant Hartford Whalers flashback...goodtimes) and many many more.

This is going to be a 6 course dinner.  So bring you appetite as well as your craft beer drinkin shoes.  The full menu has yet to be revealed but rumor has that a Lobster Roll could be in the menu-mix.  "Craft Beer & Lobster Rolls"-that might just make it onto my tombstone when I leave this earth haha.

As if everything mentioned already isn't more than enough to get you on down to The Cask Republic for this event, you will also have the chance to interact with and pick the brain of Sean O'neill from Cisco Brewers.
