Hello Friends,

Summer is finally over and we have some new drink promotions for September 2016: Johnnie Walker Green Label and Kirin's most famous seasonal brew Aki Aji (Taste of Fall).

JW Green Label - Tasting Notes from 'Master of Malt'

The nose is quite rich and full. There are notes of mocchaccino and espresso coffee, wood smoke and a fireplace, a touch of bitter chocolate and oak. The palate is of medium-body with notes of crisp cereals, coffee beans and chocolate, a date note with a touch of walnut. The finish is quite long and spicy with honeyed sweetness and oak.

Monthly Guest Beer on Tap
Blue Moon Belgian White from the USA

See you soon,
Man in the Moon

The 2016 Olympic Games have begun!
