suckling on the teat of the restaurant industry since the tender age of 15. He
found his real bartending niche at <b>The Continental Midtown</b> in

Greg dug deep to discover how much he couldn't stand fine dining - while
employed as a bartender at a <b>Jean Georges</b> restaurant on the Upper
East Side. Finally, he nested further downtown at the <b>John Dory Oyster Bar </b>in
the <b>Ace Hotel</b> where he was fortunate enough to be instructed in the

For those who have tasted one of Italy's national treasures, <i>Fernet Branca Digestivo,</i> you'll know it challenges taste-buds and defies comparison to other spirits. Its rich, medicinal blend of botanicals seizes your entire being. At first it's bitter bite is surprising, then all-consuming. But then: the bitterness vanishes and you are at peace -- all ailments melt away, the stomach is soothed, the spirits raised. It's a journey worth chasing. </div>

Hey, you know what goes great with summer? Crystal-clear, nuanced, herbaceous, and just plain yummy English gin. <i>Hendricks</i> is a masterful example -- a prim & proper small-batch gin that mixes beautifully with the the fresh fruits of summer like lemons, limes, and cooling cucumber. Brilliant. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Although perfect paired with polo and other aristocratic pursuits we're offering posh <i>Hendricks</i> cocktails for the humble price of just <b>$5 each</b> from <b>5PM-7PM</b> tonight, <b>Friday the 13th</b>. For those of you who may be superstitious we think your luck just turned around for the better!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This is the perfect opportunity to try our newest summer cocktail, the <b>Kate Middleton</b>. This drink is truly a stunner. With high-end <i>Hendricks</i>, the exotic rhubarb note from <i>Rhub</i>y and sparkling <i>Pellegrino</i> grapefruit you can drink like the duchess at a pauper's price. Tell your mates! </div>

We are an extremely patriotic bunch here at Alfa. As we approach the birthday of the good ol' USA we've been thinking a lot about what that means to us gastronomically. As much as people say apple pie is quintessential to our red white & blue roots, we don't think it gets any more American than a big juicy burger on a golden brown bun. So we are celebrating -- ringing in our nation's birthday with an homage to our favorite food. America deserves it!</div>

We've got four new serious contenders for carnivores on our menu, and one veggie burger so scrumptious it would make Betsy Ross blush. Each hamburger is made with flavor-flecked ground beef sourced locally from <i>Pat LaFreida</i> meats in Brooklyn, NY. Then, they're loaded with an array of unexpected tasty toppings to keep you on your democracy-loving toes. </div>

Summer is here. To us at Alfa, sunny days mean endless possibilities, and while we can't argue with Grandma's Margherita, the heat gets our inner Einsteins into overdrive and we end up with crazy innovative, insanely yummy eats. Like our <b>Garbage Pie</b> -- a flatbread that answers the question "why can't we just put a whole bunch of random stuff we like on one pizza?" The answer is WE CAN and it will end up surpassing our wildest dreams of deliciousness.<br />
<br />
We didn't stop there. Our new menu has dozens of new delectable edibles including more crazy pizzas with stuff we really really like on them. Because we can!<br />
<br />
Join us and embrace the madness -- and come hungry.<br />

But just calling them gifts wouldn't be doing them any justice...they're experiences. You can get anything from a ride in a stock car to wolf watching to wilderness safety training to a hot air balloon ride. Really cool stuff. But next time, show your love for Alfa and Walnut Room and buy your loved one a <a href="http://www.excitations.com/philadelphia/Cocktail-Master-Class-for-Two.html?u=ZT0xNTcmcD0zNTMmcj04Jjc3NyYyMg%3D%3D">Cocktail Master Class</a> (available for two or four people) taught by one of our master bartenders. You get to make some of our delicious signature cocktails, and by the end, you'll be able to tell your friends about the subtle flavor nuances between their favorite spirits. You'll also leave with a pretty satisfied stomach - you get to drink, of course, and we give you some of our signature appetizers to make sure you leave here on two feet. Everyone knows you get a real drink here at Alfa and Walnut Room, and that's the reason why this is the only place in the region that this class is offered!Alfa American Tavernhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03895123718738085271noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3761919022402318597.post-11649265907088900402011-08-29T12:52:00.001-04:002011-08-29T12:53:39.912-04:00Alfa Loves...Weyerbacher Imperial Pumpkin Ale<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhR2gZcpQsobL6YDL-DfLPSKfK4zooKOJzauctCaH_nrFP_QMVnpht4Q9FdyAOksXm6rmjajg80YfrG1h7QI1Kcu4h6SB2MQs8MOewrqIIC4Ne1hA99-DbXGSE7vh6U7x03eUfG5YXyqZY/s1600/weyerbacher_pumpkin.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhR2gZcpQsobL6YDL-DfLPSKfK4zooKOJzauctCaH_nrFP_QMVnpht4Q9FdyAOksXm6rmjajg80YfrG1h7QI1Kcu4h6SB2MQs8MOewrqIIC4Ne1hA99-DbXGSE7vh6U7x03eUfG5YXyqZY/s320/weyerbacher_pumpkin.jpg" width="290" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I know we just told you about Weyerbacher's Blithering Idiot, but it's the time of year for us to get really excited about another variation from the Lehigh Valley Brewer - <b>Weyerbacher Imperial Pumpkin Ale</b>. Since we are totally amazing, we get dibs on a few kegs each year of their very limited run, and we are happy to say that it's up and running as of now! You know it's about to be fall when we break out the Pumpkin Ale, and frankly, after weeks of scorching heat followed by an earthquake and Hurricane Irene, we'll take a fresh start. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">This bad boy packs a hearty 8.0% alcohol (careful!), and is brewed with the tastes of fall - Pumpkin, Cinnamon, Nutmeg, Cardamom and Cloves...just like your grandma's house at Thanksgiving. WPA is a heartier brew than other pumpkin ales - sweeter and spicier, with distinct pumpkin flavor, instead of the hint that other brews have.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #232323; line-height: 20px;">According to Weyerbacher's web site, Blithering Idiot makes a nice date for full-flavored meats and cheeses, or as an after-dinner drink. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #232323; line-height: 20px;">But before you start slamming them down, remember this: one too many Blithering Idiots will make you, uh, a blithering idiot. With an alcohol content (ABV, or Alcohol By Volume) of 11.1%, this potent brew is not to be treated like your average beer (most run anywhere between 3 and 7% ABV).</span></span><br />

Well, we've invited a different kind of Wacko into Alfa for the summer. Magic Hat <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, serif; line-height: 21px;">Wacko is a fruit/vegetable beer brewed with beet sugar, pale malts, Columbus hops and fermented with an English Ale strain. We like it because it is refreshing, the flavors stand out, and it's not too heavy. At 4.5% alcohol content, you'll still be able to get through the rest of your night without falling on your face by midnight.</span><br />

APRIL 12TH /<br />
NO COVER / COMPLIMENTARY COCKTAILS + SNACKS / 7-10PM</span></b></span> <br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">You'll all agree that spring has sprung with a vengeance! How better to celebrate the arrival of Philly's sultry summer months than to <i>suck down some delicious rum cocktails</i>? The PA chapter of the US Bartenders' Guild, in partnership with ALFA<i> cordially invite you to do just that at the Don Q Puerto Rican Rum Mix-Off</i>!! <b>The competition will be red hot, the drinks ice-cold, and the music bumping </b>as this hep industry crowd (meaning you) enjoys one another's company and the spectacle before them. Our competing USBG members will be gunning for a spot on the national Don Q team, which will be flown, expenses paid, to sunny Puerto Rico! Soft sand, hard bodies, and a shot at the Big Prize (cash money, of course), facing off against San Juan's finest. <br />
<br />
We are happy to announce that this leg of the Big Show will be judged by three local experts on tastiness: renowned sommelier Marnie Old, Alfa's own mix master Kenny Shug, and Belgian Cafe Bartendrix and City Paper palate-on-the-street Felicia D'Ambrosio. <br />
<br />
<b>Complimentary Don Q cocktails and lip-smacking Alfa eats will be served from 7 - 10pm, upstairs at Walnut Room. </b> Christian and Phoebe will be serving their Don Q cocktails in the VIP Lounge, Lauren will oblige further needs at a cash bar in the main room. <i>The competition will start at 8pm</i>. This invitation is open to all comers, assuming of course that one is of legal drinking age. Come dressed to finesse in your finest or funnest tropical gear. Just be sure to mention at the door that you are there for the Don Q event. <br />
<br />
See you there!<br />
<br />
