Beer Appreciation 101 has been approved for SF Beer Week!
Beer Appreciation 101
Update: There have been a lot of phone calls to Wine Affairs asking about the event but when they find out it’s on Superbowl Sunday, they can’t commit. I totally understand. Superbowl Sunday is an American Institution. It’s practically a holiday.
So I’ve talked to Diane at Wine Affairs and I’m letting you know, “We hear you.” We’ve listened to your feedback and we’re pushing the event back a week. Hopefully reservations will pick up. The updated information is below, I hope to see you there!
Venue: Wine Affairs, 1435 The Alameda, San Jose, CA 95126 map
Date/Time: Sunday, February 7 14, 2010 @ 5pm - 7pm
Reservations: Call 408-977-0111 to reserve your spot today.
Cost: $25 per person
Description of the Event:
With the explosion of the popularity of American craft beers and imports, it can be confusing trying to make sense of it all. Dubbels, Imperial IPAs, Barrel-aged brown ales brewed with sour cherries? Where to start?
Join the BetterBeerBlog’s Peter Estaniel (that’s me!), BJCP judge, beer writer and homebrewer, as he tries to make sense of it all. Expect a general overview of the brewing process and how the basic ingredients used in brewing affect a beer’s flavor. Develop your beer vocabulary while tasting beers that exemplify certain characteristics of each basic ingredient.
Contact Wine Affairs at 408-977-0111 to make your reservation today!

(How funny - When i saw the tweet i thought you were changing the name of the event!) You’ll have No trouble filling this event for the last weekend of beerweek. You have plenty of time, We have filled our 101 class but the 201 advanced beer tasting and judging session is during the start of the superbowl, and even though there are sports tvs in the next room for after-class viewing, we have not filled it up.
I’ll send our 101 waiting list folks a pointer to your event if you want. Sadly you wil also miss our second event cuz of this change. I was hoping you and Sam might come to the afternoon meetup and tribute to women in the beer community. What a lot of cool things are going on! See you Friday night…
