Event to benefit animals at Forest Park Zoo

By K eith O ’C onnor Special to The Republican

All the animals in the zoo have their own special diets, and so will adult guests only at the Forest Park Zoo in Springfield on Saturday who will feast on a variety of taste-tempting foods and beers “on tap.”

It is all part of the popular zoo’s annual Brew at the Zoo fundraiser, which last year raised nearly $30,000 to support the zoo and its more than 225 animals.

Open to reserved tickets only, the four-hour event from 1 to 5 p.m. features beer samples from local craft breweries, a home brew competition, food trucks, live music, games, and the opportunity to visit with the animals in the zoo.

“Brew at the Zoo is our largest fundraiser. It is an important source of revenue to help absorb our operating costs along with the continued care of our animals from their food and water to making sure they get the proper veterinary care throughout the year,” said Gabry Tyson, development manager of the Zoo at Forest Park.

More than 20 area breweries and home brewers will

be pouring their cooling libations at the event, including Loophole Brewing, One Way Brewing, Broad Brook Brewing Company, Iron Duke Brewing, Altruist Brewing Company, Amherst Brewing, Abandoned Building Brewery, WeHa Brewing & Roasting Company, Rustic Brewing Company, Vanished Valley Brewing Co, Berkshire Brewing, StrongHaus Brewing, Side-Gig Brewery, Catseyesoup Brewing, 4 Walls Brewing, SPARGE Homebrew Club, Big Bee Brewing, Matts Brew Research Lab, Inside Joke Brewing Collective, Beech Hill Brewery, Beefort Brewing, Siren Song Brewing, Fallen Timbers Brewing Co and Screaming Cider.

Nick Martin, owner of Iron Duke Brewing in Ludlow, noted “it’s always a good time” about their participation in Brew at the Zoo.

“There is always a great turnout for the fundraiser and I enjoy seeing friends from the brewing community, many of whom I haven’t seen or talked with for a while. It’s a cool venue and a good cause, plus I grew up in the Sixteen Acres neighborhood of Springfield and it’s nice to be helping the city in a small way,” he said.

While still planning his “beers on tap” for the event, Morin said “it’s a good bet” that tasters will find his Seafoam Cruiser, an American light lager, as well as his New

England IPA called 4 A.M., and possibly a new fruity beer and seltzer at their table.

Food trucks, offering taste-tempting treats for an additional price, will include Tai Chili Street Food, Souper Sweet Wheels, SoulFully Vegan, CremeBru.LA and Elo’s Hibachi.

Live entertainment will feature Andy Cavanaugh and Christina Cerbone of Stillwater Band.

The Forest Park Zoo will be closed to the public during the event and only those with advance tickets will be allowed to enter the zoo. Even with tickets in hand, IDs will be required to enter the brew fest.

Those planning on attending the fundraiser can select from four ticket types: general admission is $50 and covers tastings, a free glass, and visits with the animals; general admission designated driver is $25 and includes visits with the animals, but no alcoholic drinks; VIP is $75 and includes a free glass and an extra hour of tasting beginning at noon and an additional opportunity to meet the zoo’s animal ambassadors up-close and personal and also receive animal feed to interact with the zoo’s hoofstock on their own; and there is a VIP designated driver priced at $35.

To purchase tickets, go online to forestparkzoo.org/ brew.

‘Old-fashioned country fair’

Littleville Fair returns Friday through Sunday

By C ori U rban Special to The Republican

Even after more than 100 years, the Littleville Fair still has something new to offer fairgoers.

New events this year include a beef cattle show, a lawnmower race and a demolition derby along with traditional truck and antique tractor pulls. There will be bingo in the dining hall for the first time on Aug. 4, beginning at 6 p.m.

The 101st Littleville Fair will take place Friday through Sunday at the Littleville Fairgrounds, 15 Kinnebrook Road, Chester.

New events and activities invigorate a fair. “We hope they draw a crowd in to see something different,” said Littleville Fair President Maurice R. Boisseau Sr., crediting members of the parade committee for proposing new things for the fair, discussing them and voting on what to add. “We try to pick things that will bring people to the fair.”

In addition to the new events, fairgoers will find upgrades to the information booth, dining hall, main exhibit hall and snack bar.

“It was time” to make the upgrades, Boisseau said. “We want to keep them going for maybe another hundred years.”

The fair is open even if it rains, and Boisseau said some 3,000 to 5,000 people attend, depending on the weather. “People come from all over,” and the draw, he said, is “an old-fashioned country fair.”

Plus, he added, “people love the dinners” that are

This year there will be music, animal events, a magic show, balloon sculpting, face painting, chicken and turkey dinners, raffles, a children’s blueberry pie-eating, a BMX performance, farm Olympics, a parade, a women’s fry-pan toss, a beard competition, a zucchini contest weigh-in, a

children’s potato-sack race and a Jack-and-Jill cross-cut saw competition.

The Littleville Fair is a non-rofit organization that plans, manages and operates the country fair each August at the Littleville Fairground. The organization hosts family-friendly agricultural, craft and country events and performances for three days of fun during the fair and organizes and runs

fundraisers during the rest of the year.

There is currently a capital campaign for new bathrooms. Donations can be sent to Littleville Fair, 15 Kinnebrook Road, Chester, MA 01011.

Should minors be able to drink nonalcoholic beer?

ARECENT ARTICLE

in Food & Wine

raised an interesting question: Can minors legally buy and/or consume nonalcoholic beer?

As the article delineates, the question doesn’t have a straightforward yes/no answer. A lot depends on state laws, but in the case of “drinking” it legally, the answer is probably “yes.” Purchasing it at a liquor store or restaurant, however, may not be as simple.

The first aspect is whether we’re talking about totally nonalcoholic beer or those that are labeled “less than 0.5% ABV.” The former is no more dangerous for young folks than soda, and many would argue that soda is worse in many ways. The latter example is where things get a bit tricky.

However, as the article states, the National Minimum Drinking Age Act of 1984 clearly defines the limits: “Alcoholic beverage means beer, distilled spirits, and wine containing one-half of 1% or more of alcohol by volume. Beer includes, but is not limited to, ale, lager, porter, stout, sake, and other similar fermented beverages brewed or produced from malt, wholly or in part or from any substitute therefore.”

So anything below that 0.5% threshold is not deemed an alcoholic beverage by the federal government. But, of course, states often have their own ideas about what their citizens should and shouldn’t be doing, and there are states that tighten that stricture. There are 14 states that prohibit minors from even drinking totally nonalcoholic beer.

Now, there will be opinions all over the map about this topic. I understand the various points of view, and I don’t necessarily staunchly disagree with most of them. My opinion is that 100% nonalcoholic beers should be legal

AllinforSummer

for anyone to drink or even purchase.

Beers with 0.5% ABV can seem to be a different story. After all, there is a LITTLE alcohol in these brews. But really, if we estimate that the average beer is around 5%, that means it would take 10 of these low-alcohol “near beers” to equal one regular beer. I’m guessing most un derage teens (because that’s who most finger-waggers are worried about) aren’t willing to spend that much time, effort and money to get what ever minor buzz you’d get from one Budweiser or Sam Adams Boston Lager.

However, the Food & Wine article also points to a recent study from Japan’s National Institute of Health, which said that adolescents who consumed nonalcoholic beverages that tasted like alcoholic products were more likely to become interested in consuming alcohol. So there is that to consider.

What do you think? Are you OK with underage people buying and drinking 0.5% ABV beer. I’m sure most folks are cool with, say, people 18to 20-year olds doing so. But what should the age cutoff be in your opinion? And what about totally nonalcoholic brews? I’d especially like to hear from parents about their approach to their children and alcohol.

‘Sweet-heat’ flavors inspire restaurant menus

‘SWEET-HEAT,” the latest of restaurant menu trends, can be traced back to a New York City pizzeria and a young food entrepreneur, Mike Kurtz.

option with an “in-app” offer. Through Aug. 6, any smallsized hot or cold brew coffee can be enjoyed for just 99 cents when ordered using the Wendy’s App or order.wendys.com.

Kurtz had first tasted honey infused with chili peppers in Brazil while he was a studyaboard student there in 2003. He subsequently created his own version of a chili pepper-honey condiment, which he dubbed “Mike’s Hot Honey.”

Kurtz’s hot honey later made its food service debut at Paulie Gee’s pizzeria in Brooklyn, where it was featured in a “Hellboy” pie topped with hot soppressata and a drizzle of Mike’s Hot Honey.

Mostly a “pizza thing” until recently, hot honey has now become a mainstream flavor sensation. “Hot honey” and related “swicy” (sweet-spicy) flavors are currently predicted to be one of the fastest-growing menu influences over the next several years.

“Sweet and heat,” for example, is the theme of the recently-introduced “Sweet Heat Season” menu at Outback Steakhouse. A limited-time-only lineup, the menu has a number of “swicy” offerings including Hot Honey Fried Chicken and Hot Honey Fried Shrimp, both of which feature an Outback’s-recipe hot honey sauce. The chain is even offering a swicy cocktail, the Hot Honey ‘Rita.

Also embracing the sweetspicy trend, Pizza Hut is testing (in limited market areas) two Hot Honey menu items, a Hot Honey Pizza and Hot

Honey Wings. Like Outback, Pizza Hut is relying on its own hot honey formulation.

Expect to see “swicy” become the restaurant world’s next big flavor meme.

3 great red wines from Sicily

LAST WEEK, I RAVED about three Italian wines that just happen to come in a box.

This week, I thought we could stay in Italy and focus on one, distinct region – Sicily.

One wine column cannot do justice to this large island (the largest in the Mediterranean) near the southern tip of Italy. It’s one of the largest producing wine regions in Italy. And the history of winemaking in Sicily dates back long before this island became part of Italy in 1860.

So while you can briefly learn more below about the history of winemaking in Sicily, I’m not going to even dream of trying to cover all the different types of Sicilian wines in this week’s wine tasting.

Instead, think of this week’s article as a brief introduction, an appetizer or antipasti featuring three different types of Sicilian red wines. Let me add that the three, outstanding wines recommended this week range in price from $20 to $32 a bottle.

And one more thing, as Lieutenant Columbo used to say. These red wines can be served slightly served. So if you’re looking for a refreshing red wine on a hot summer day, these wines are the perfect choice. However, I also believe these wines taste great at room temperature as well. You decide and hope you enjoy.

WINE HISTORY

People living on the island of Sicily have been making wine for nearly 6,000 years, according to archeological evidence uncovered there. As a result, Sicily is one of the first winemaking regions in Italy, according to Visit Sicily. Over the centuries, everyone from ancient Greeks and Romans to Vikings and the British have enjoyed Sicilian wines. Nowadays, people throughout the world enjoy wines from Sicily, which produced more than 154 million gallons of wine last year, which is roughly 65 million cases, according to

Ken Ross Wine Press

WINE REGIONS

There are many great wine regions in Sicily but let’s just focus on the best-known ones. No discussion of Sicilian wine would be complete without mentioning Etna, which is named for the island’s famous volcano. Sicily’s Etna wine region has rich, volcanic soils located in high-altitude vineyards, according to “The World Atlas of Wine” by Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. Sicily is also perhaps best known in terms of wine for Marsala, the region that produces Sicily’s distinct fortified wine. Other notable wine regions in Sicily include Faro and Vittoria.

WINE GRAPES

The most popular red wine grape grown in Sicily is nero d’avola. Other distinct, red wine grapes from Sicily include frappato, nerello mascalese and perricone. As far as white wine grapes, the most popular one in Sicily is catarratto. Other well-known white wine grapes from Sicily include grillo and carricante.

TASTING NOTES

• 2022 Duca di Salaparuta ‘Calanica’ Frappato

Sicilia (Suggested Retail Price $19.99)

Grapes: 100% frappato

Region: Terre Siciliane, Sicily

Let’s start with one of my favorite wines of the three recommended this week. While many people serve frappato wines slightly chilled, I highly recommend first trying this wine at room temperature or

around 60 to 70 degrees. This dark, inky, red wine has absolutely wonderful, flinty finish with hints of poached blackberries and violets. An hour later, those flavors are just as intense, along with dense, dark fruit flavors. The second day, this wine remains just as dense and flinty and delicious. A truly outstanding, elegant wine perfect with a wide range of hearty foods.

• 2019 Planeta ‘Eruzione

1614′ Nerello Mascalese Sicilia (SRP $25)

Grapes: 100% nerello mascalese

Region: Etna, Sicily

This distinct red wine comes from the black soils near the Etna volcano. Straight out of the bottle, its flavors range from light, bright, cherry notes to hints of red licorice and spice notes. Just make sure to give this wine time to evolve. After an hour, dense, dark fruit flavors emerge. And the next day, this wine has a dry, flinty yet fragrant floral finish with hints of dark cherry. Goes great with hard cheese.

• 2019 Barone Montalto ‘Ammasso’ Rosso Sicilia (SRP $31.99)

Grapes: Blend of nero d’avola, nerello mascalese, merlot and cabernet sauvignon

Region: Terre Siciliane, Sicily

This blended red wine has many different, exciting characteristics, which seem to change from one sip to the next. At first, this dense, dark wine tastes robust and flinty, with hints of blackberry and raisins. An hour later, those fruit flavors taste slightly sweet and ripe. The next day, those dense, dark fruit flavors reemerge, especially hints of plum and blackberry. A great wine with steak or dessert and which illustrates why Sicilian red wines deserve a place at the table reserved for outstanding wines of the world.

Cheers!

the early 1960s and formed the Santana Blues Band, later named simply Santana with Carlos as the front man, after signing a contract with Columbia Records.

A Santana concert was held at the former Springfield Civic Center (now MassMutual Center) in 1973, one year after its opening. By that time Santana had released four albums garnering critical and chart success. The band’s first album, simply titled “Santana,” was released in 1969 featuring the Top 10 single “Evil Ways.”

The album, which went triple platinum, was followed by
