Relic Brewing Celebrates 2nd Anniversary with Tap Take-Over @ Max Burger WH

relic masthead

Max Burger is very pleased to be a part of Relic Brewing Co’s second anniversary celebrations with our friend Mark Sigman.  Mark has been producing some great beers over the past few years from his small but growing brewery in Plainville, Ct.  Max Burger in West Hartford will be turning over out tap lines on Wednesday February 19th to some of the stylish brews from Relic.  This is a rare occasion to have so many of the brewery’s beers on at one time as the production is generally fairly small and limited and the demand is quite high.  We are pretty excited and think you should be as well.

Congratulations to Mark for hitting the two year milestone, for having the vision (and guts) to start a new brewery-business, and for making some killer beers that we have had the pleasure to enjoy these past couple of years!  We look forward to pouring many more in the future.

Here is a list of the brews we are expecting in…

Queen Annes Revenge Porter – robust porter brewed to a traditional 1800 recipe, strong notes of coffee and chocolate tremendous aroma 7% abv

The Huntsman Oatmeal Stout – rich, chocolaty and roasty stout 5.8% abv

Ryepocolypse Stout – Our Anniversary Beer – 9.4% Belgian Rye Stout, roasty, boozy, complex, spicy, dark fruit flavors.

Clockwork Pale Ale – 5.2% abv, American Pale Ale, tropical citrus flavors and aromas on top of malty backbone.

Max Downtown in Hartford will be offering a new selection from its Wine by Coravin list.  If you are unfamiliar with the new Coravin device, and you are a wine fan, you need to discover the flexibility it allows us in offering more selections by the glass.  The Coravin is essentially a mini-cruvinet system, which allows us to literally tap a bottle of wine without removing the cork, replacing the air inside the bottle with inert gas as we remove the wine for you to taste.  This means we can tap and offer a large selection of wines without any adverse effect to the wine remaining in the bottle.  This week we will be featuring the fabulous Silver Oak Cabernet Sauvignon Alexander Valley, 2010, one of the most highly regarded California wineries, at he unbelievable price of $18 per glass!  Rarely offered by the glass, here is a great opportunity to taste without committing to a full bottle.

Trumbull Kitchen in Hartford will be featuring a Blue Agave Maragarita & Tapas for $6. The TK classic El Jimador Blue Agave Margarita (one of our most popular drinks from the catalog), pair it with Chef Torla’s  Pueblan-style Mole Poblano – tortillas, pumpkin seeds, queso fresca.
