2013 Munich Oktoberfest Mugs and Steins

The Official Oktoberfest mugs and steins are on the way, yeah! This year we decided to try the .5 liter mug also. The .5 liter size is identical to the 1 liter version, it is just a little more practical for a drinking mug. Although I know many of you use the one liter version just for that. Also, we will be getting for the first time the matching 2013 Oktoberfest mini mug. I am most stoked about that since I collect minis. I do not have photos for either the .5 liter or mini yet, but I promise as soon as I do I will get them on our website. As for the mug and stein, they are both available for PRE-ORDER from our website at this time.  

Cheers,

Say it ain't so

Wubby and I have had this miniature bottle on our desk for as long as we can remember. (I collect minis) It slowly has been evaporating, as they all do over time. But the name of this peeked my interest, Jacquin's Forbidden Fruit Liqueur. So, I opened it and took a small tasting.  To say this was delicious was doing this liqueur a disservice, it's just so damn yummy! This had to go on the "grocery list" for the liquor store. Imagine my disappointment when I found out Jacquin's is no longer made. Heartbreaking doesn't cover it. I have decided to savor it, to give it a long slow death. And maybe by the time I finish it, someone out there will start making this truly fabulous liqueur goodness again.

New Year, New Beer

Ah, the joys of being in this business sometimes, which means FREE BEER. We were gifted some samples of some new brews. And if we keep any of our New Years Resolution, it will be to enjoy as much beer as possible. Actually, I just fibbed, that is more of our motto than a resolution. Today's offering is Wolvers Alta Gracia Coffee Porter. I am anxious to try this Vermont craft brew. Here's hoping tomorrow always offers you a beer!

Cheers,
Samantha
