Beer Tastings, Pairings and Menu Planning
This is where it really gets fun.
We'll help you expand your craft beer repertoire while providing memorable experiences for guests.
Contrary to popular belief, beer pairs as well (or better), with food than wine. Test it yourself!
Bar events: Alewife Beer Tasting Sessions
- Beer Tasting 101: We'll review 6 basic styles, comparing them against each other and creating vocabularies that will help folks develop their palates and hone in on the kinds of beers they love.
- Beer Tasting 201: We broaden our selection to include another level of delicious offerings - including beers from other countries you may not know about.
- Beer and Cheese Pairings: Wine has nothing on beer and cheese! See for yourself how 1+1 can equal 3.
- For the Geeks and the Adventurous:
- Wilds and Sours: We'll take you through the latest and greatest trends in craft beer - and one not for the novice or faint of heart. These beers will challenge your palates, while instilling new passions for the new and different.
- Rare and Aged: We'll pull together a variety of local, national and international specialties that you won't find at your typical haunts.
Restaurant Menus: Creating delicious pairings
Do you already include wine suggestions with your menu items? We encourage you to take your restaurant's food experience to the next level by adding beer pairings. If your chef likes to experiment, consider partnering with us to create new dishes based on styles and flavors that pair perfectly.
At home: What's more fun than beer tasting parties?
Choose from any of the offerings above. Only this time, we'll do it at your home with friends in tow! This always proves to be revelatory, as you try new styles - and often, find new favorites. Let's see how many wine drinkers we can convert!
