Today Better Beer Society announced that they have partnered with The Butcher & the Boar for the the second event in their “Brown Bag Blind Tasting Event”. The event will be held on June 30th in the beer garden at The Butcher & the Boar.
The theme for Series #2 is “Summer Session: Backyard BBQ Beers” and will feature 28 taps paired with summer flavors. The goal is to expose participants to beer pairing techniques, with a nod to backyard bbqing.
The event will guide guests through four categories of blind samples paired with a different small plate, designed to accentuate both the beer and the food. Sounds like a blast!
