So you enjoy beer but you’d like to learn more about craft beer and why you like what you like? OR, you want to learn more about other styles and expand your palate?

Join Craft Beer Guide and Taphouse Beertender Payton O’Neal with special guest Tom Torresdal, Head Brewer from Victor 23 Brewing – Voted Small Brewery of the Year – Washington Beer Awards, for this beer ‘class’ event where you will learn how to taste and appreciate different styles of craft beer.

You will learn and experience:

Before class, Payton will create a CraftED tasting flight for purchase for tasting during the class.

During the class, you will learn the proper sensory order of tasting craft beer including….appearance, aroma, flavor, mouthfeel, and finish, and how to evaluate them.

While you taste each one, you’ll learn how to detect and appreciate their flavor profiles and learn the high-level history of each craft beer style.

You will also learn common craft beer terminology, what to look for when purchasing and choosing craft beer so that you are experiencing craft beer as the brewery intended it to be, and beer-clean glassware.

During CraftED, you will have the opportunity to meet others learning and exploring craft beer, have time to make connections, and enjoy some craft beer together!
