Beer Tasting with Brian Yaeger

A few weeks ago a Brian Yaeger, beer blogger, organized a hefeweizen beer tasting at Clara St.  Its always really fun disecting subtle flavors with other craft beer drinkers!  Unfortunately the Franziskaner did not win as I secretly hoped.  The Weihenstephaner took first which is just as good.  I simultaneously brewed 10 gallons of my famous chamomile beer which will be ready next week!  More details on the tasting event can be seen at this SF Weekly site.  Come by and taste some beer for yourself!

Cheers,
     Bryan

The tasters! (myself, Gabrielle Chan, Jay Hinman, Brian Yaeger)

MORE FLAVOR: Food/Wine
Homebrew 101 with Clara St. Brewing
when: Saturday Apr 3 (11am–5pm)
where: Clara St. Brewing
price: FREE



Tired of Bud Lite, Blue Moon, and PBR? Maybe you could do a better job making beer for yourself. Bryan Hermannsson is a man with a passion for DIY beer, and he is paying it forward by hosting free weekly Homebrew 101 sessions out of the garage that he calls his "nano-brewery." The former bio-engineer teaches you how to mash and mill the grain, add the hop, and how the beer machine works. You then get to drink the dark lager fruit of your labor. Stay thirsty my friends. - Michelle Broder Van Dyke
