RYE: A New York-inspired Cocktail & Food Pairing Dinner

whiskey on the rocksThis year for our annual Whiskey Dinner, Max’s Oyster Bar team will be featuring classic Rye Whiskey based cocktails from the New York City historical drink book, and specifically the regional variations on the Manhattan Cocktail. Each course is paired with a classic interpretation of this delicious drink, each with their own touch made famous by bartenders past and present.

Rye whiskey is an inherently American spirit, and what better way to showcase this than with an inherently American drink? We say, there is no better way, and so we have an entire menu centered around these themes. Join us for this excellent dinner, “tour” the regions of New York City, and stay warm with Rye Whiskey.

Lawson’s Finest Liquids Debuts at Max Burger and Trumbull Kitchen

Lawsons-Sip-Of-SunshineFollowers of truly small production, boutique, even mythical beers will take note about the fact that Connecticut has a new player on the scene.  A player with a big reputation already established for itself.

Lawson’s Finest Liquids out of Warren, Vermont, has become available in extremely limited quantities in the Hartford market, and we will be tapping at two Max location’s later today.

What is so special about this brewer and the beers they produce?  Well, too start – not too many breweries can claim multiple 100 point beers on BeerAdvocate. Lawson’s can, of course.  Making beers that achieve the “World Class” status is no easy feat, and to have one of these beers available on our bars is a real treat.

The Sip Of Sunshine from Lawson’s will be tapped for lunch at Trumbull Kitchen in Hartford, and later today Max Burger in West Hartford will also be tapping a keg.  Based on our recent experiences with similar beers we expect the kegs to go very quickly.  We are lovers of these balanced and delicious craft beers, and feel very lucky to be able to offer these selections to our guests.

What’s On Tap This Week @ Max Burger West Hartford

by Brian Mitchell, Corporate Beverage Director, Max Restaurant Group

beer-chico-floydsThis summer Sierra Nevada Brewing, one of (if not the) leading Craft Brewer in the United States, set out on a summer long tour and festival drive.  Taking their bus and brewing genius across the country, the folks for Sierra stopped over in Festivals from Californai to Maine.  Along the way they created and made a series of beers that are as unique and varied as any out there – all in conjunction with 12 other craft breweries.  You can read about this huge collaborative effort on the Sierra Nevada Beer Camp webpage by clicking here.

To celebrate this huge endeavor, Max Burger in West Hartford will be featuring a selection of these collaborative brews from the Beer Camp collection, starting today with the Sierra Nevada / Three Floyd’s Brewing Co. Chico King Pale Ale.

brewer-3flyds3 Floyds has a reputation as the Midwestern kings of alpha (hops). Chico King is a mash-up of a mutual passion between these breweries for hoppy pale ales, and combines a uniquely robust malt body with intense citrusy and fruity new school hop varietals.

3 Floyds marches to the beat of their own (double kick) drum when it comes to collaboration, often partnering with comic book artists, tattoo parlors or heavy metal bands when inspiration strikes. These eclectic beers are coveted throughout the Midwest and some beers, like the legendary Dark Lord Imperial Stout, have spawned something akin to a beer-themed holiday in the brewery’s hometown of Muenster, IN.

On tap today, come into Max Burger West Hartford to taste some of this very limited production beer.  We will be following this up with a selection later in the week, including other Beer Camp collaborative brews, such as:

Sierra Tater Ridge Scottish Ale, brewed with the Asheville Brewers Alliance, from Asheville, NC

Sierra Yonder Bock Tropical Maibock, brewed with Cigar City Brewing out of Tampa, FL

Sierra There and Back English-style Bitter, brewed with New Glarus Brewing in New Glarus, WI

Sierra Double Latte Coffee Milk Stout, brewed with Ninkasi Brewing Co., from Eugene, OR

Sierra Yvan the Great Belgian Style Blonde, brewed with Russian River Brewing Co, out of Santa Rosa, Ca

Sierra Alt Route Altbier, brewed with Victory Brewing out of Downington, Pa

Back East Palate Mallet Tapping @ Max Burger CT, Oyster Bar and Trumbull Kitchen

by Brian Mitchell, Corporate Beverage Director, Max Restaurant Group

backeast_PalateMallet_18x24 posterPREPIn addition to our regularly scheduled promotion this Thursty Thursday March 12, 2014, Max Burger and Max’s Oyster Bar in West Hartford and Trumbull Kitchen in Hartford, will be participating in a CT State-wide tapping of the newest beer from Back East Brewery, called Palate Mallet American Double India Pale Ale. This is the newest beer from Back East Brewery and is designed to show off what CT brewers can do.

According to Tony Karlowicz, owner of Back East Brewing, the beer is brewed using four types of West Coast hops (specific varieties are being withheld as proprietary secrets), each used to focus the flavor impact on aromatics rather than bitterness.  These hops will help push the citrus grapefruit notes, and as the brew is double dry-hopped it will further emphasize this aspect.

Brewed to 8.6% abv, it is a big style, but not over-done with alcohol.  Drinkable and balanced is the word.  We will have to wait and see exactly how it tastes tomorrow night at 5p, as this is the official debut of this beer.  It will only be available at this point at the listed locations and while supplies are available.  The tentative plan is to get feedback from this release and probably brew the next batch in late April for a canned summer release.  We will see, but since the others brews from Back East have all been very favorably received by our guests, I can only imagine that this will become a regular item for Back East.

7p tapping – tomorrow night – Thursty Thursday March 12

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.

Here is brief description of some of the promotion we are featuring throughout the month of February…

Max Amore in Glastonbury will be offering 1/2 priced bottled wine every Thursday night in February.  Yes, that is right, every bottled wine on the list will be 1/2 priced from its normal offering.  A huge savings and great way to try many of the top wines we carry.  Max Amore’s Italian focused list has selections from every major wine region in Italy, plus favorites from California, Washington State and beyond.  Come in and discover your new favorite along with the spectacular menu from Chef Ted Burnett.  Discount applies to bottled wine selections, only.

Max’s Tavern in Springfield will be offering the Round Trip Tasting Flight consisting of a beer flight paired with a slider flight- all for an amazing $6.  Pick your favorite brews or try something new: offer includes three beer samplers in one of our famous Max sampler glasses served along with a flight of one of our famous beef, pork and chicken sliders.   Not a bad way to start the evening.

Max Fish in Glastonbury will be offering a 1/2 dozen fresh oysters along with a pick your draft selection, all for $9.  There are few better combinations than fresh, briny oysters and craft beer – get them both at a great price on Thursdays at Max Fish.

Max A Mia in Avon will be offering for Thursty Thursday Vino e Salumi.  Each Thursday in February we will pick a new wine from our list and offer it by the glass along with a Chef’s selction salumi plate – all for $15.  And we are not messing around wit the wines here as we want to showcase the best of what we have.  This Thursday we will be pouring the fabulous Prudittori di Barbaresco 2008 Barbaresco, one of the most famous selections from Piemonte, and a truly delicious wine (normally sold for $20 / glass), along with a classic salumi plate put together by chef David Stickney.

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.

Max’s Oyster Bar in West Hartford will be offering a regional pairing of Local Brews and Local Seafood.  Each week in February we will pick a New England region and pair a selection of local seafood along with a local craft brew from that area.  Starting this week for Thursty Thursday @ Max, we will be promoting Bluepoint Brewing Co from Patchogue, NY, along with a 1/2 dozen plate of Bluepoint Oysters, all for $9.  What better way to celbrate local farming than with local seasonal products and great local brews.  Upcoming specials will include Thimble Island Brewing with Thimble Island Clams, Narraganset Brewing with Rhode Island Oysters, Harpoon Brewing with Massachusetts Oysters, Maine Brewing Company with Maine Lobsters , Rogue Ale with Washington State Oysters, or whatever combination we can think of.

Max Burger in West Hartford will be offering 1/2-Priced Cans for Thursty Thursdays @ Max in February.  C’mon in and take your pick of any of our canned brews and get them at a 50% discount, all day and all night.  The canned beer has made a huge return among craft brewers in the past few years as many people have discovered that fresh beer really does taste better this way.  One of the most damaging things for beer is light and the can provides the perfect vehicle for getting all the flavor the brew master intended to your glass (or just from the can).  We agree and we also like the fact that this is a lighter and more eco-friendly way to transport beer.  We have a growing selection of great canned brews fro across America, so join each each Thursday in February to taste your way around the canned section.

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. All for $6, this Thursday.  We love making tequila drinks and El Jimador is a great selection which we use for our standard drinks selection – it is made from 100% Blue Agave, and has a rich, salty, smokey taste, perfect for making classic styled margaritas.  This drink has a touch of blue in it to add a twist to the classic.  Perfect for the Mole Poblano.

Max Burger in Longmeadow, Ma, will be holding a Specialty Brew Tap Night, for Thursty Thursdays @ Max in February.  This week’s tapping will feature the very special and rarely offered Founders Brewing Imperial Stout, and imposing creature at 10.5% abv, but a great treat on a cold night like tonight in Western New England.  Brewed with ten varieties of malted barley, this stout is smooth as silk, yet complex and rich in body.  We will be tapping at 5 pm, so come in and treat yourself to one of the finest Stouts in America from one of the top American craft brewers.
