In person tastings :

In-person tasting events are crafted individually based upon your group’s needs. Send me an email with your group’s size and any beer requests, and I will create a custom tasting itinerary. Prices start at $150 for small groups. Due to local alcohol laws, I’m unable to purchase the beers for the event; but I will source the beers and curate a shopping cart to make the process easy. Prices include complimentary tasting guides, snacks, and materials for a sensory experiment.
