ARE YOU GUYS READY TO PARTY // MERKEL MONTMORENCY TREAT // I’m psyched for this weekend. As a little anniversary weekend treat, we will be selling Merkel 2017 Montmorency to-go out of our tasting room starting Friday (6/22). We used montmorency cherries for the 2016 batch of merkel, but the 2017 vintage utilizes a dark and malty base beer (general store), which really helps balance and compliment this cherry varietal. Teeming with aromas/flavors of strawberry jam, dried cranberry, hay loft, cinnamon and marzipan. It doesn’t get much better than this little twanger, folks. Limit 3 bottles per person. Let’s have a beer together tomorrow (Friday from 5-9pm at Henry Hudson riverfront Park in Hudson)! We will be closing the tasting room tomorrow at 4 pm SHARP!
