We are a little challenged by how best
to show when and where our tastings would be this year, with the addition of our
Pub in Allen to the mix! So, we have designed a calendar system as you will see
below with tastings highlighted in color to indicate which Pub will be hosting
the event. Generally Tastings in Allen will be on Monday evenings, and events in
Dallas will be on Tuesdays, once off special events will be held occasionally on
Wednesdays for guests from both pubs.
What is a "Tasting"?
A great night out for those that enjoy
tasting new brands, sampling spirits and sharing the evening with others of like
minds! Continuing our successful program of weekly tasting events we are proud
to offer a tasting for all kinds of palettes & interests;-
Whiskey
Tastings - we select 6 whiskies to sample with our Tasting Guild. 1/2-3/4oz
sample pours of each between 7:30 & 9PM along with a moderated discussion or
review of the distillery or region.
Beer
Tastings - A sit down beer tasting of 8 brews, sample pours of 6 -10 oz,
focused on a style, brewer or region, conversation usually runs 7:30- 9:00 PM
Wine
Tastings - A great opportunity to learn a little more about wine, we sample
6 wines with 2-3 oz pours and discuss the region, varietal and background of the
individual wineries.
General Format of our Tastings
Pub provides Tasting Card for note taking, cubed cheese &
crackers to start and light appetizer snack during the tasting. For dinner
guests we would suggest something before or after the regular tasting. Guests
generally gather starting at 7:00 PM, 1st Pour by 7:30 PM and wrapping up by
9-9:30PM Tastings are moderated by either a visiting expert, or if all else
fails one of our team of enablers reads up about the products and offers some fun insights during the
sampling!.
1st its a pub tasting rather than a store
tasting, so our objective is not to try and sell you cases of anything before
you leave! We can of course assist you with where to find the brands we taste,
but there'll be no effort to force you to buy on the night!
2nd Its is a Pub tasting,
so not a very studious affair, in fact the volume of conversation going on
around us in the pub can be a little off-putting for the uninitiated! But we
find it stops the tastings from getting too serious....
3rd We are usually pretty
good about being able to serve everyone that comes in, but be careful, because
occasionally we source some unique or hard to find things that will limit the
number of attendees allowed. So, if you are coming click the link on the
appropriate box and shoot me an email. Seating is always open arrangements, in
that we don't tell you where to sit, so come early for best selection -
especially if you have another couple or friends you want to join you.
4th Last & Final note, we
present checks at the end of the evening, so there is no pre-payment, we only
ask that if you are not going to make it after placing a reservation that you
call in and let us release your seat! (Also, as everyone wants to pay and leave
at the same time, if you are in a hurry to head home, let your server know and
they'll drop your check early to avoid the queue at the Credit Card terminal!)
If you intend to join
us please send me an email by clicking the link beside the event you'd like to
attend. We do not ask for advance payment, checks are presented at the end of
the evening and of course we are only delighted if you choose to have dinner
before or after the tasting event and we can combine the charges on to a single
check
