This Ain’t Your Daddy’s Pilsner

By on April 7, 2013 in University Circle

This Ain’t Your Daddy’s Pilsner

Heads up beer geeks: Constantino’s has Chatoe Rogue’s Good Chit Pilsner fresh in stock.  With its clean, crisp hop bite and balanced hop and floral aromas, this Czech Pils is nothin’ like your Daddy’s lager.

Most breweries buy their barley from maltsters and their hops from farmers.  The real magic happens when you brew the ingredients, right? WRONG, says Rogue Ales!  Rogue’s “Chatoe Rogue” series of beers comes from its own terroir.  Rogue cultivates its hops along Oregon’s Williamette River and grows its own barley on 265 acres in Tygh Valley.

Says Zorro of beeradvocate.com: “mouthfeel is good.”  We tend to agree.

Grab yourself a 22 oz. bomber of Rogue’s Good Chit Pilsner today!

(Find ‘em in a stack next to the frozen section.)

What’s a Grapple?!

By on February 6, 2013 in Deals, Food, Fruit, healthy, natural, shop Cleveland, shop local, University Circle

Constantino’s Quiz: What’s a Grapple?

grapple blog

 

 

 

 

a) a great Snapple

b) a wrestling hold

c) a delicious grape-soaked apple

You guessed it–the answer is (c).  (You didn’t think we’d actually try to coin “grapple” as hipster slang for a Snapple, did you?)

Imagine the sweet, distinctive flavor of Concord grapes combined with the crispness of a fresh, juicy Washington Extra Fancy apple.  That’s a Grapple—and Constantino’s has ‘em!

Featured on the Food Network’s “Unwrapped,” these Gala and Fuji apples are bathed in nothing but pure, concentrated grape goodness and take on no additional calories in the process.

If you’ve got a sweet tooth, you’ve got to try these.  Look for Grapples right at the front of the store– here at Constantino’s for a limited time only!
