Muddy Pig Belgian Beer Fest Seminar: Fermentable Love Fest

Domestic Belgians, Belgian Belgians, cheese and Corey.

“Fermentable Love Fest” with Corey Shovein of Hohenstein Distributors.  Now this sounds like a fun time.  Belgian beers are not confined to a single style nor are they confined to Belgium.  There are some American and Canadian brewers making incredible Belgian-style beers as well.  As Corey surveys the various styles he will provide samples from a Belgian brewer and a domestic brewer and include a cheese that pairs well with the style.  Count me in.

Seminars are $20 each or all three for $50.  Tickets will be available at The Pig around 5pm Friday, Sept. 4th. Due to high demand (all seminars sold out last year) we are unable to “hold” tickets for people so plan on stopping by The Pig sooner rather than later to purchase yours.

Muddy Pig Belgian Beer Fest Seminar: Belgian Brown Ales

Wanna learn about Belgian Brown Ales? Brad the Beerguy of Chisago Lakes Distributing will be discussing them with you!

Explore the history, characteristics and variety of this often overlooked beer style.  From dubbels through big browns you will be able to learn, taste and enjoy along with a selection of fine chocolates and pastries. If you caught Brad’s seminar on “True Lambics” you know Brad leaves nothing on the table.  Literally.

Muddy Pig Belgian Beer Fest Seminar: Why Belgium?

The Muddy Pig welcomes Lanny Hoff of Artisanal Imports to answer–or at least ponder–the question “Why Belgium?”

Why is Belgium a hotbed of brewing?  How and why did Belgian brewers develop such unique styles? And what better way to learn about the beers than to taste them? Lanny is one of our most popular speakers and knows way more about Belgian beers than he should.  You definitely want to skip out of work early to catch this one.
