AlphaBeer is the only event that teaches you about 26 beers - one for every letter of the alphabet! The focus is on craft brews and the experience is led by experts who truly appreciate fine beer. It’s a three hour tour of hops and barley and lagers and ales, and everything is crafted by masters who are passionate about their beers.
We’re celebrating our XIIIth event on October 18th. At this very special event we’re highlighting some of the best beers from some of the best breweries in the world. It’s fun, educational, and (highly) entertaining for fans, fanatics, and neophytes alike.
During this unconventional tasting event you’ll learn about the ABV, the IBU and what to eat with each brew. Your take-home program means you’ll have your notes handy when you want to pick up your favorites. We’ll even have special guests joining us from participating breweries to share their love and passion for the art of fine brew with you.
