Sip & Savour
It’s true that some brews are so darn delicious that they’re gone before you even realize it. However, taking the time to set up a tasting and using professional tasting techniques can open new worlds of flavor and aroma. In this online workshop via Zoom, beer lovers will set themselves up for tasting success, develop tasting skills and practice describing what they are tasting in industry terms. Gain some beer cred by pulling out the “drive by” sniff.
Famous Couples
Carrot Cake and IPA, Amber Ale and Pizza, Stilton and Barleywine are all classic beer and food pairings. Pairings are successful when the beer complements, contrasts, or cuts food flavors in interesting ways. In this online workshop via Zoom, beer lovers will diagram flavor components of a beer and analyze what makes famous pairings so successful. Gain some beer cred when you pair a beer with your next meal.
Beer Party
Planning a party around beer, rather than having beer show up at your party, is the perfect way to mix up the usual routine or online happy hour. Informal tastings and holiday beer celebrations will get even your non beer friends excited to learn and try something new! In this online workshop via zoom, beer lovers will channel their inner event planner and create the party that distant acquaintances will be begging to attend. Gain some beer cred when you whip out your beer themed activity.
