Description

JANUARY 13 – MAKE A FIRKIN WITH FRIENDS (Tapping on February 14) “Chocolate Firkins” (16 people per class, $15, 7-8:30PM) Includes flight of 4 on the day of tapping and 9 oz glass of beer during prep. Join us to learn more about the world of cask ale. Also called “Real Ale,” this beer serving style has been served in barrels of various sizes and materials over the course of history. Our class will have a quick history and fermentation lesson before putting our skills to use! The class will break into 4 teams and make their own recipes in a firkin (metal barrel that will house naturally carbonated beer). The firkins will be served at our pub on February 14 at 5:00 PM. The cost of the class includes a 4-ounce pour of each firkin recipe. Grab your friends and family and come in to make something unique and never served before at Guardian! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Your instructor will be Kim Collins, a Certified Cicerone, Owner, and Head Brewer of Guardian Brewing Company.
