Old World vs. New World w/Merchant du Vin Importers

May 4, 2016 @ 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm

Another year, another tradition.

One of our most popular Craft Beer Week events over the last few years has been our Old World vs. New World tasting, courtesy of Merchant du Vin Importers. We’ll be tasting several classic examples of common European beer styles, followed by some modern counterparts from the good ole USA.  The idea is to chart the evolution of these styles, to get a better idea of where they came from, and where they might be heading.

Reps from Merchant du Vin and Specialty Beverage will be on hand to present their beer in a blind tasting format and all will vote on their favorite at the end of each round.

We have finalized the match-ups, so check ’em out:

Samuel Smith Oatmeal Stout vs. New Holland Poet

Lindeman’s Cuvee Renee vs. The Bruery Rueuze

Rochefort 10 vs. Destihl Quad

Westmalle Tripel vs. Victory Golden Monkey

Orval vs. Perennial Aria

Traquair Jacobite Ale vs. Founders Dirty Bastard

Cost is $20/person, and tasting starts at 6pm!  Reservations needed, so call us to reserve your spot at 608-255-8500.
