Home Brewed Events: Beer Me!
Tired of feeling intimidated when ordering beer?
Does your significant other order beer for you?
Want something more from your beer?
If you answered YES to any of these questions you have come to the right place!
Morgan and I know how you can have your beer and enjoy it too!
That is with the help of....
HBE creates educational events that are filled with fun facts and adventures to teach you how to enjoy beer. Meredith Rebar and Garrett Williams created this AWESOME service to teach people how to enjoy beer! They make enjoying really good craft beer super accessible and fun especially for non-beer experts like us. We had and amazing time with Meredith at her Chocolate and Beer Pairing! We learned so much as she taught us all about the history of beer (who knew women where such an important part of it?) and brought together two unlikely but delicious bed fellows: Beer and Chocolate.
Galentine's Day was the best ever and all thanks to Meredith and HBE!
We will be at the next event International Women's Day Little Boots Brew Day because we can't get enough!
How to taste beer?
Tasting beer is very different than tasting wine or other beverages.
To figure out all the flavors a beer can offer can be tricky, so Meredith helped us out by providing everyone with the handy dandy TASTER's FLAVOR WHEEL, so you can identify all the flavors in your beer!
Step 1
Hold your beer up to the light to determine the color and carbonation.
The color comes from the malt in the beer.
Step 2
Put your cup up to your nose and take in 3 short inhales.
These inhales get you to identify those surface smells of the beer.
Step 3
Take a sip of your beer and swallow so that the beer reaches the back of your throat so you get the after taste as well!
Look at your chart if you need help identifying the flavors you taste!
(HINT: step 2 and 3 can both bring different flavors to the table)
Step 4
*In a pairing class*
Go between tasting the delicious chocolate and beer.
See how the beer enhances the chocolate and how the chocolate enhances the beer!
BEER MAGIC!
Pairings
Our HBE "love story" began with the incredible pairing of beer and chocolate!
(Chocolate curtsy of Choc.OH.lat)
1) Saint Benjamin's Pennyworth Stout with a milk chocolate caramel filled tear drop.
2) Lindeman's Kriek Lambic Belgian Cherry Beer with milk chocolate mousse topped with a raspberry.
3) Saint Benjamin's Cover Crop Rye IPA with a spicy cinnamon and cayenne brownie.
4) Oskar Blues Ten Fidy Imperial Stout with a dark chocolate covered strawberry (or 2 or 3).
It tasted as if each beer had found it's chocolate soulmate!
