While most of the country thinks college basketball when the phrase, “March Madness” is discussed, the staff here at Wakefield Liquors has another tournament we like to partake in. The 2015 WL Beer Brackets have begun. Much like the NCAAs, 64 beers go head-to-head until one final team (or in this case beer) remains to be crowned champion.
The first round match-ups are almost complete. To get a closer look at the bracket and participants, head into the beer aisle and see our display or talk with myself or Chris to get out take on favorites and early upsets.
And in the spirit of beer, visit Alex from Harpoon Brewery on Saturday from 4-6. He will highlight some of their UFOs (Unfiltered Offerings) including the White Ale and Big Squeeze.

Cynthia Hurley French Imports with Donna Hutchinson
Founder Cynthis Hurley writes:
“For more than twenty years I have been importing exceptional wines from nearly every major wine region in France. My selections are terroir driven wines from independent growers who use minimal intervention to create wines that are outstanding representatives of their individual appellations.
I spend about three months a year in France tasting in nearly every major wine-growing area searching for great wines from both well-known growers and discovering wines from virtually unheard of growers. I import just those wines I want to put in my own cellar. One of life’s greatest pleasures is heading down to your cellar and picking a different bottle each evening.”
Tonight, we will showcase a selection of these wines.
