Big, boisterous BJ’s in San Rafael is all about the beer
Northgate’s splashy makeover includes the recent addition of BJ’s Restaurant and Brewhouse – the big-box equivalent of an American brewpub. A shrine to all things massive, this mega-square-foot food emporium boasts seven flat-screen TVs, 35 beers on tap and more than 100 items on its 10-page menu.

Cirelli Marketplace in Middleborough, Ma Hosts Micro Brew Tastings on Saturdays 12- 4 Pm, June 7 – July 5

 

DATELINE: MIDDLEBOROUGH, MA…

Cirelli Marketplace in Middleborough, MA has brewed up a fun way to celebrate the upcoming summer season. Dads, Grads (21 and over), and June brides are all welcome to join in a month long celebration of summer as Cirelli Marketplace offers complimentary micro brew tastings from their specialized selection of craft beers on Saturdays from June 7 through July 5 from 12 noon to 4 pm.

 

Edgar “Buzzy†MacDonald, Cirelli’s own resident expert who has decades of experience in the industry, will be on hand to pour, explaining the nuances of each type of micro brew. The first tasting on June 7th will feature selections from Atlantic Brewing Company of Bar Harbor, Maine, Delaware’s Dogfish Head and additional organic beers.

 

Quality and diversity are the hallmarks of Cirelli Marketplace’s collection of artisan beers that includes selections from across the globe.

Additional ethnic beers are in the mix including Tsingtao, the most popular Chinese beer in the United States, Sagres from Portugal, the abbey beer Affligem from the Flemish village of Oproyk, and Alsatian Fischer beer from France.

 

Local New England microbrews are also well represented with Long Trail Ale’s Double Bag from Vermont, family owned Vermont based Otter Creek, Massachusetts’ Wachusett Brewing Company, and Boston’s own Sam Adams. Craft beers from across the US are also part of the selection including beers from New York’s Brooklyn Brewery, Delaware’s Dogfish Head, Leinenkugel’s Wisconsin brews, San Francisco’s Anchor Brewing, and Colorado’s Flying Dog Ales.

 

In addition to the Saturday micro brew tastings, Cirelli Marketplace really kicks off the summer season on June 7th with Cirelli’s first Classic Car Cruise Night of the season from 4 – 8 pm, and Cirelli’s Annual BBQ Bonanza from 2 – 6 pm.

Oatmeal stout?

Love Samuel Smith Tadcaster oatmeal stout. The brewery has been sold to USA and have tried to find out who bought it and are they still making this fine brew and who in Oz stocks it?

Samuel Smith is still an indie brewery. There is a Coors plant in Tadcaster, but they are separate entities.

Perhaps you meant that someone had bought the distribution rights? In any case, I have no idea where in Oz to find it, but it’s all over the place in the US.
