SUMMARY:Founders School of Beer - January 16th\, 2019\, 6pm-7pm
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our School of Beer Night featuring Founders Brewing on Wednesday\, January 16th. Explore the quality and craft of Founders Brewing’s amazing brews… which pair amazingly with our delicious BBQ. We would love to see you from 6:00pm to 7:00pm at Smoking Pig BBQ\, 3340 Mowry Avenue\, Fremont CA 94538 for beer tasting\, expert insight\, and great barbeque! It’s Back To School Night here at Smoking Pig BBQ! \nShare this event: https://beer-school-founders-smoking-pig-bbq-january.eventbrite.com\n \n* Seating is on a First Come\, First Served basis – an RSVP does not guarantee seating * \nWe believe that all beer enthusiasts should be educated on their brews. At Beer School\, we will teach you the ins-and-outs of the Founders brewing process\, what goes into your favorite beer\, how flavors are distinguished\, and more! A great lineup of tasters will also be provided to enhance your educational experience… \n~ TASTING FLIGHT ~ \nBREAKFAST STOUT \nThe coffee lover’s consummate beer. Brewed with an abundance of flaked oats\, bitter and imported chocolates\, and two types of coffee\, this stout has an intense fresh-roasted java nose topped with a frothy\, cinnamon-colored head that goes forever. \n \nGREEN ZEBRA \nSubtly sour and a little sweet\, this ale is a refreshing take on a nearly extinct German style\, gose. Watermelon is the highlight of this lightly-hopped treat and gives it a hint of satisfying juiciness. The soft mouthfeel and dry finish comes courtesy of the addition of sea salt\, a traditional gose ingredient. \n \nSOLID GOLD \nOur brewery was built on an attitude of no regrets. An attitude of taking risks to bring the best beer possible to our fellow renegades and rebels. Never brewing to style\, but always brewing what we want to drink. Our take on a classic\, Solid Gold is a drinkable premium lager brewed with the highest quality ingredients. Challenging what a lager can be? That’s something we won’t regret. \n \nMystery Beer \nMake sure to show up to find out about fourth mystery beer that we will be pouring at the event! \n \n~ ABOUT FOUNDERS BREWING CO. ~ \n \nFounders Brewing doesn’t brew beer for the masses. Instead\, their beers are crafted for a chosen few\, a small cadre of renegades and rebels who enjoy a beer that pushes the limits of what is commonly accepted as taste. In short\, they make beer for people like them.
