The Broad Axe Tavern - March 2010 Newsletter


	In This Newsletter: • Letter from the Owner • March Entertainment • St. Patrick’s Day Celebration • Easter • Sunday Brunch • New Beers • Featured Recipe • Facebook Fan Page • Miscellaneous				Hello and greetings from all of us at The Broad Axe Tavern I hope you all survived the record snow falls that we went through this winter. I am happy to see that many of you enjoy venturing out in the snow to get a bite to eat on the those foul weather days, and enjoy being here with us no matter what it’s like outside. Thank you to everyone who has rescheduled their events that had to be canceled because of the inclement weather. I thought that a couple of the rebooked parties were going to get hit again this past weekend, but we got lucky and got them all in. We have a lot going on since I last spoke with you. We have added a number of new beers to our list and have a lot of well received new specials that have been featured that are more than likely going to be added to the main menu when we make the change. My favorite, and a lot of yours, has been the coconut curried mussels. A bowl of them with a glass of Urban Riesling and a big chunk of bread will put a smile on anyone’s face. Another new menu item that has been receiving accolades is the different versions of the bread pudding, my favorite being the hazel nuts with dark chocolate chunks and vanilla ice cream. The Flower Show started this week, so it looks like we are finally getting closer to spring! I can’t wait to get into the spring menu items, such as Lamb, Asparagus, Florida Red Snapper spring, Spring Ales and Dopple Bocks and lighter wines. Easter is just around the corner and we are planning a Special menu for that day. But St. Patrick’s Day is next and we added Smithwicks Irish Red Ale and of course we will have plenty of Guinness on tap with plenty of Irish specials on the dinner menu and a live musical entertainment starting at 5:00 pm. Look for a complete list of all our new beers and we will post the Easter menu as we get closer. Keep using the Loyalty Rewards Cards to get your $25.00 reward, free dinners, gift cards, free beers and pint glasses. As always, Thank you for your continued support. Enjoy, Matthew Doman Owner / Operating Partner The Broad Axe Tavern

Sierra Nevada Glissade 16oz. $6.00 Glissade is a remarkably mellow take on the traditional spring bock.

After fermentation a fraction of the batch is aged in Oregon Pinot Noir barrels, and another fraction is aged on oak staves. The beer is blended together before packaging.

Highly roasty, and malty, caramel and vanilla notes Oskar Blues DALE’S PALE ALE 12oz.
