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.
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.
- When: June 27, 2015, 6pm to 9pm
- Where: AJ Hudson’s, 3801 N Ashland
Tickets are just $50, including tip, to try 26 different craft beers, each introduced by an expert.
Beer is better with friends: Bring 5 friends and you get to go free! A table of 6 is only $250. We have a very limited number of tables at this price.
No paper ticket required! Once payment is received we’ll have your name on the list. Sorry – no refunds or credits if you can’t make it, but you can give your spot to a friend.
