Beer Evangelism at The Four Firkins, originally uploaded by MNBeer.

I stopped in for another installment of Josh Pepper’s Beer Evangelism classes at The Four Firkins last night. If you haven’t been to one of Josh’s events, you should definitely try to get to one. Last night we tasted porters and stouts and talked about beer and the concept of celebration (with beer, of course.) There’s something very special about having a beer (or wine… or cocktails) with friends. It’s a shared experience that you just can’t have with water or Red Bull. And it isn’t really necessarily about getting a buzz, either (though there’s nothing wrong with that, either). Perhaps the idea is a bit nebulous, but I suspect many of you know what I’m getting at… So, uh, let’s get a beer folks – in April (at the MNBeerthday Party) or sooner!
