SEPTEMBER 2011
Ladies enjoying coffee with b3 mugs
September 2Is it September already?

Greetings!

Kids are back at school. Summer has come to an end. Celebrate the return to order and a predictable routine. Sound boring? Not at B3 where you can always predictably rely on us for great food, a warm greeting and a grand time. Come on by and see us! (Note: We'll be happily laboring on Labor Day. Open 8AM - 8PM).

August Beers: No Rhyme. No Reason  

 

Okay, so we know you all feel more emotionally secure when we package our monthly beer selections in safe, relatable "themes". But sometimes, great beer just can't be labeled (well, metaphorically speaking, because of course, they, er, have actual labels). Why can't you just let a great beer BE, people?! Don't theme it! Don't try to "define" it. Just drink up and let random awesomeness BE random awesomeness. Here are the miscellaneously spectacular brews we're bringing your way for September ... just because!

Shipyard Pumpkin Head Ale, Maine - This tasty world famous Autumn ale delivers crisp, refreshing wheat ale with delightful aromatics and subtle spiced flavors. Hints of nutmeg and Cinnamon make this limited release brew a flavor sensation.  4.5% ABV. 
 
Pacifico Clara, Mexico -  Made from the choicest hops, barley, yeast and water from the freshest springs in Mazaltan, this clean and hearty flavor makes Pacifico an exceptionally drinkable lager that's compatible with all types of food. 4.4% ABV

Magic Hat Ale #9 Not Quite Pale Ale, Vermont - An ale cloaked in secrecy, whose mysterious and unusual palate will swirl across your tongue and ask more questions than it answers. A sort of dry, crisp, refreshing, not-quite pale ale. Number 9 is really impossible to describe because there's never been anything else quite like it.  Taste starts out sweet with fruit notes (apricot) and then turns slightly bitter with a taste of floral hops. 5.1% ABV 
 

Estrella Damm Pilsner, Spain- Watch the Vuelta Espana, drink some Estrella (it rhymes!) Estrella Damm is a wonderful Spanish pilsner. It has been brewed in Barcelona since 1876 and is the flagship beer of S.A. Damm, a prominent Barcelona brewery. "Estrella" means "Star" in both Spanish and Catalan. 5.5% ABV

 

We will also be adding to the randomness with Red Stripe Lager, Dogfish Head 60 Minute IPA and Left Hand Brewing Milk Stout.

Wines: Spanish Celebration 

 La vuelta

In honor of the Tour of Spain (a.k.a Vuelta a Espana), we're offering a sampling of romantic Spanish wines that are sure to leave you feeling amorous and ready to shout "Ole!"

 

Spanish Quarter Chardonnay Albarino, Spain - Floral aromas pair well with the citrus flavors of this Spanish white.  Flavors of peach and tropical fruit offer a clean citrus finish with a hint of residual sugar. Chardonnay (60%) / Albarino (40%)

Spanish Quarter Cabernet Sauvignon Tempranillo, Spain - Offering silky flavors, thanks to an excellent blending of the Cabernet Sauvignon and the Tempranillo, this deep purple-red Cabernet delivers dark cherry, blackberry, and hints of spice and chocolate on the nose.  A light sweet oak finish goes well with the berry and dark chocolate flavors. Cabernet Sauvignon (55%) / Tempranillo (45%)

Tapena Garnacha, Spain - Garnacha (gar-NA-chah) was born in Spain, but is now known to most of the world as Grenache - think Rhone style wines. Opening with powerful violet-red hues, this wine has a tremendous concentration of ripe cherries and juicy candied fruits. The palate is intense in rich, ripe, dark fruits balanced by soft tannins and a lovely spicy mouthfeel. It is well structured, soft but lively, ending with a lingering velvety finish.

New Seasonal Soup:  

 

lentilMasala Tomato Lentil (Vegetarian) - Earthy brown lentils, mild red lentils and navy beans are paired with three varieties of tomato in a natural vegetarian broth infused with onion, garlic, curry and ground pepper.

 

Don't forget about our other seasonal items. Our Seasonal Salad boasts a generous portion of spinach topped with fresh summer-ripe blueberries and peaches tempered with sliced almonds and gorgonzola cheese.  Ken's Lite Raspberry vinaigrette served on the side.

Seasonal Treats & Drinks
  lucky 7 

Lucky Seven. 7th Heaven... there is a reason the number 7 has so many great connotations: cos' it's DELICIOUS. To prove the point, we're bringing those decadently delightful Seven Layer Bars back to our bakery case. In honor of those little doozies, we've found a few other place to layer on the tasty goodness on this month's seasonal menu.

 

Latte: The 7 Layer Latte - Espresso and milk blended with chocolate, white chocolate, butterscotch, coconut, and hazelnut. Served hot or iced, caffeinated or decaffeinated.

 

Waffle: 7th Heaven Waffle - Warm, fluffy made-to-order waffle topped with walnuts, chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, and coconut. Syrup served on the side. 

  

Gelato: 7 Layer Gelato - A custom creation made just for B3: Coconut Creme Gelato with a Butterscotch Sauce (made with butterscotch chips and sweetened condensed milk), layered by walnuts and white chocolate dipped graham crackers then topped with drizzles of chocolate chip stracciatella.
