AUGUST 2014

 

Ladies enjoying coffee with b3 mugs
Parties and Weekly Specials!!!    


 

Hey, B3 Friends ... Who Wants 'Ta PARTAY? Having a private party at B3 has always been a good time, but now ... with all of this new space? Your private party can be double the fun. So, if you have an end-of-summer soirée in mind and need a super cool place to have it (you know, that looks good AND has air conditioning): give us a ring, we'd love to be your party central. (Also, holiday party dates book up quick around here so plan ahead for the holidays!)

Also new this month ... just to keep things interesting for ya, keep an eye on the menu boards for new Weekly Specials. You know, a little of this, a little of that. All tasty goodness to mix up your YUM factor! Items to watch for: homemade pot pie and B3 Mac & Cheese.

 

August Beers: It's the "End of the World" As we Know it (Prepare to Feel Fine)       

      

Brewed in honor of the intrepid European explorers who earnestly believed they'd reached the 'end of the world' upon discovering North America (a.k.a. 'the new world'), this triple-style golden ale recreates the style of beer originally developed in the Middle Ages by trappist monks for special occasions. As such, it was the first of its kind to be brewed in North America.

Though this tasty La Fin du Monde won't bring about the actual end of the world, it most definitely WILL rock your world thanks to 18 months of research dedicated to its signature, unique strain of yeast originating from Europe. So, sip and savor ... and, of course, feel free to sing R.E.M. songs if the name of this brew so moves you. {wink} 9% ABV.
 

 Wine: Cycle in the Sky

      

Adorned with perhaps one of THE most beautiful wine labels in the industry, Cycles Gladiator seeks to pay homage to the freedom and happiness that pervaded Europe in the late 19th century - during an era known as the Belle Epoque. This era was marked by many notable inventions and improvements to daily life, not the least of which was the modern bicycle, or "Le Bicycle Velocipede."

Cycles Gladiator 2010 Lodi Cabernet Sauvignon - True to its appellation, the 2010 Cycles Gladiator Cabernet has the strength and power characteristic of wines from Lodi. A deep purple color supports a dense, black cherry dominated aroma. Cherry flavors continue to headline through to the finish, supported by lighter accents of plum, cola and cedar. A big, muscular wine, a weighty tannic structure make their presence felt throughout.


Cycles Gladiator Pinot Noir - This fresh and juicy Pinot Noir bursts out of the glass with aromas of cherries. Unrestrained fruit continues on the palate with the round and supple mouthfeel complementing a medium body that frames delicate tannins. On the finish, a slight cedar and vanilla character show off a delicate oak influence in this easy drinking Pinot Noir.
