Beer can be lined up for comparison tasting, similar to wine tastings. There are more than 23 styles of beer using various malts and yeast strains, which is why many argue that beer is more complex than wine. Beer also pairs wonderfully with food.
No group is too big or too small. I work with you or your event planner to assemble a list of quality beers . I can also coordinate with caterers and chefs to ensure proper food pairing. During the event, I walk the guests through each beer and explain what they should be seeing, smelling and tasting. I also give a brief history on each style and try to answer any questions. Most importantly, I will be there to make the event fun and educational.
