Elevated Beer Wine & Spirits hosts the retail launch of Brewbicle on March 2nd from 3-6PM. You’ll have a chance to see the Brewbicle in person, sample cellared beer, and compare them to their most recent vintages. You’ll also have chance to meet the creators of the Brewbicle and learn about their personal cellaring techniques.
Elevated Beer Wine & Spirits is now the official retail location for the Brewbicle. Receive 10% off your entire beer purchase when you buy a Brewbicle.
Our next educational tasting is going to be a truly special experience, as Ian will be joined by local craft beer legend, a Certified Belgian Beer Knight, and eloquent public speaker, Lanny Hoff. Ian and Lanny will guide you through three specific Belgian beer categories and how they are executed in both Belgium and America.
They will delve into the characteristics and history of the styles, beers, and breweries with plain language and entertaining stories. Rather than focusing on comparing each country’s example in a competitive manner to see which is better, they will discuss the influence and role that inspiration and creativity play in brewing these beers. They will also discuss the impact of Belgian brewing traditions on American craft beer and the reciprocal effect that American brewers are having on Belgian beer culture.
Class will be Thursday, January 31st from 7PM to 8PM.
The goals of the class will be:
-To have fun while learning and drinking delicious beer
-To make Belgian beer more approachable to new beer drinkers
-To develop a deeper understanding of the origin and primary characteristics of certain, specific Belgian beer styles
-To gain a greater appreciation for the role that inspiration and creativity play in how certain styles become developed and interpreted
