Beer class was simple and very informal.
There are only two beer classes before GABF. If you have any questions, bring them to class. I will address them and do a blogpost that will revisit the question and expand on the answer with links to yet more information.
In the coming classes we will look closely at sour beers and taste some incredible examples of well made sours. We will also be dealing with examples of different styles that we carry and specific food and beer pairings. If you can't go through the entire food menu and offer an adequate food and beer pairing, please talk to me about the items that you are having a hard time pairing.
Beer Test #5 9.12.2011
- We started with the test below and then discussed the answers and concepts surrounding the answers.
- We tasted a gueuze and discussed the style.
- We talked about what was going to happen to the taps during GABF. Details will be released on Saturday at the pre GABF FOH meeting.
- We looked closely at a keg coupler and finished with a tour of the beer facilities. We discussed the parts of the draft system and how each part plays a role in delivering the beer to the glass the way the brewer intended.
