Replica tall ship here will deliver new beer
A tall ship carrying mystery beer will weigh anchor Saturday at Erie Basin Marina.
The 96-foot Challenge, a replica of an 1800s schooner, is scheduled to tie up at noon to promote the U. S. debut of a “new craft brew.” Bagpipers and drummers will play as deckhands and “wenches” in period dress unload barrels of the product for nationwide distribution.
Kara Zale of Eric Mower Associates, representing the unidentified brewer, said Buffalo will get the first taste because of its nickname, City of Good Neighbors. The secret beer has “hospitable roots,” dating to a time when people gave kitchen parties featuring suds and lively music, Sale said.
Sounds cool...
