Chase The Extraordinary Fernet Experience With Us Tonight -- Complimentary Cocktails At 10PM

Chasing the Herbacious Rush of Fernet Branca -- A Story in Pictures

 

For those who have tasted one of Italy's national treasures, Fernet Branca Digestivo, 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.

Pursue this unique flavor rush with us tonight as we celebrate being one of 3 bars in the whole city to offer Fernet Branca ON TAP. Beginning at 10PM we'll be providing expertly composed cocktails and an unbeatable vibe of merriment with one of the city's best bartenders, Erik Boardman ('EB' to those in-the-know) at the helm. You are cordially invited to chase the rush!

Below are some behind-the-scene pics of EB pursuing Fernet cheered on by our fearless leader, Joe Beckham. Check it!

$5 Hendricks & a Regal Refresher Fit for Kate & Pippa. Smashing!

Hendrick's, Rhuby, & Pellegrino Pompelo Make this Effervescent Delight.

A distinguished lineup makes up the Kate Middleton cocktail

Hey, you know what goes great with summer? Crystal-clear, nuanced, herbaceous, and just plain yummy English gin. Hendricks 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. 

Although perfect paired with polo and other aristocratic pursuits we're offering posh Hendricks cocktails for the humble price of just $5 each from 5PM-7PM tonight, Friday the 13th. For those of you who may be superstitious we think your luck just turned around for the better!

This is the perfect opportunity to try our newest summer cocktail, the Kate Middleton. This drink is truly a stunner. With high-end Hendricks, the exotic rhubarb note from Rhuby and sparkling Pellegrino grapefruit you can drink like the duchess at a pauper's price. Tell your mates!

Alfa Loves...Weyerbacher Imperial Pumpkin Ale

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 - Weyerbacher Imperial Pumpkin Ale.  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. 
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.
Get in there for a pint or two!
