SUNDAY FLIGHT SERIES
We do a couple spotlight tastings a month featuring rare beers or ciders you wouldn't normally have available for flights or samples. It may be a rare Belgian brewery one Sunday, or an entire category of beers with 10-15 selections to build flights with. Stay tuned to this page or our Facebook site for more details.

WHAT: A SUNDAY OF SAISONS
Belgium's iconic, Refreshing Ale
WHERE: Yoerg Brewery
WHEN: Sunday, June 18th - 12:00pm to 6:00pm
Build a flight of Belgian Thirst Quenchers
One of Belgium's most unique beer styles, especially suited for the summer months because of their refreshing nature. We are featuring literally a who's who of Belgium's finest Saison producers all available for a mix and match flight.
The historic Saison Ales are a style of beer that originated in southern Belgium. Also called "farmhouse ale," it's a rustic beer that, unlike other styles, is open to the brewer's interpretation. Saisons often use wild, top-fermenting yeast and a variety of local ingredients, including various grains. Refreshing and moderate in alcohol, these brews can range from light to dark, taste malty or hoppy, and are often noted for fruity or spicy characteristics, as well as a low bitterness. Artisanal breweries in Belgium continue to specialize in saison.
WHAT: TRAPPIST BEER SHOWCASE
This is where it all began
WHERE: Yoerg Brewery
WHEN: Sunday, July 16th - 12:00pm to 6:00pm
Build a flight of the World's finest beers
Our second annual Trappist showcase. We will have EVERY Trappist Ale on our menu available to taste, and build a flight. This is pretty special, because we have the largest selection of Trappist Ales in the country (between the Coasts). Rosaries available upon request -
These are quite simply, the finest beers in the world -
ACHEL - TRE FONTANE - CHIMAY - WESTMALLE - ROCHEFORT - TYNT MEADOW - ORVAL - ROCHEFORT -
A Trappist beer is only given this name if it satisfies a number of strict criteria:
1) The beer is brewed within the walls of a Trappist abbey, by the monks themselves or under their supervision.
2) The brewery must be controlled by the monastery and have a business culture compatible with the monastic project.
3) The purpose of the brewery is not to make a profit. The income takes care of the livelihood of the monks and the upkeep of the abbey site. What is left over is used for charitable purposes, social work and people in need.
4) The Trappist breweries produce beers of an impeccable quality that is tightly controlled.
Wine is a very important part of our program. As is the education part of it. Wine can be so overwhelming at times, but it doesn't have to be. We break down the world's finest wine regions in our seminars and showcase the finest producers and wines from that particular region. It's a fun, informative setting and educational in the coolest way.
