$115.00

Think you know beer? Think again.

In this lively, flavor-driven tasting designed for wine lovers and curious beer enthusiasts, we’ll explore beer through the lens you already love—aroma, texture, structure, and sense of place. Expect elegant, aromatic styles, layered complexity, and a few surprises along the way as we connect beer to the same language we use to describe great wine. We’ll taste through styles that echo the freshness of a crisp white, the depth of a structured red, and even the intrigue of oxidative wines, while also diving into how to pair beer with everything from savory dishes to dessert—and how to bring it into your kitchen through marinades and sauces. And yes, bites are included—as always. No beer expertise needed—just curiosity and a palate ready to be impressed.

Description

Think you know beer? Think again. Beer, like wine, is a story of aroma, texture, structure, and place.

Designed for curious palates, this class invites wine lovers and beer enthusiasts alike to explore the world of beer through a familiar lens: aroma, texture, structure, and sense of place.

We’ll move beyond the “simple and refreshing” reputation of beer and into its more expressive, elegant, and complex styles—the ones that speak the language of wine. Think floral and mineral notes, layered aromatics, texture on the palate, and styles that can rival your favorite whites and reds in depth and character.

Through a curated tasting designed to impress, you’ll discover how certain beers can echo the brightness of a crisp white, the structure of a bold red, or the intrigue of an oxidative wine—all while learning how ingredients, brewing techniques, and balance shape each style. We’ll also explore how to pair beer with a wide range of dishes—from savory plates to unexpected dessert pairings—and how to bring it into the kitchen, using beer in marinades, sauces, and other culinary applications that elevate both food and flavor.

Whether you’re a wine lover curious about beer, or a beer drinker ready to expand your palate, this class will open the door to new flavors, new styles, and a deeper appreciation for what’s in your glass.

Because great taste doesn’t belong to just one category!
