Anyone know of any beer tastings? It would be great to know of a place that does them on a consistent basis, like the 2nd Tuesday of the month or whatever.

  It's only a single-day event, but Julio's Liquors out in Westborough is having a big multi-brewery beer tasting tomorrow (free, including food). It's a package store with a great beer selection, especially Belgian ales.
  
  If there are also any more regular ones, I'm definitely interested!

What’s the difference between a lager and an ale? Where does Pilsner come from? Does beer go with dessert? Find out the answers to these questions and more….

Tour the world of beer with us as we enjoy four very diverse styles of beer. Try:

a Pilsner from Pilsner, Czech Republic

a Barleywine from the oldest operating brewery in the United States

a Hefewiezen from Munich

and end the beer tour on the sweeter side with a coffee house porter.

Each beer is complimented by salty bar staples like pretzels, fries, BBQ chicken pizza, and cookies. Presentation will be accompanied by a “tasting sheet”.

Schedule of events:

Registration and mingling from 6-6:30

Tasting program from 6:30-7:15

Enjoy a cash bar and free pool from 7:15-8pm while you mingle!

**You must register on the BYPA website at www.BostonYPA.com in order to be on the list for this event. RSVPing on this site will not add you to the guest list of a BYPA event.***

Cost: $25

Will be posting one of these later in detail, but if anyone is interested in going to the Beer Summit on Apr 14, Mike will be selling tickets at Tommy Doyles from 5-7 on Thursday. Buy one from him that day, you can win a pass to the other Beer Summit events. Beer Advocate is having a meeting om Sat, Apr 28, starting at the Sunset Grill at 4. Also on Jun 14, Beer Advocate will be having a pre-party for it's American Beer Bash-no word on where-but if you're there from 6-7, first round is on the Brothers

So what is anyone doing for St Patrick's Day-The Alstrom brother and Beer Advocate are having a pub stroll-don't have all the details yet, but if anyone is interested, maybe we could invade en masse and horrify them!

I hope at least a few attended the Extreme Beer Fest, If you didn't you missed a great event. The waffles and the breakfast beer were worth the price themselves. And for an unbelievable bargain, check out the Sam Adams dinner at McCormicks & Smchick's on Mar 13th-no way are you going to get better then that. Don't forget Harpoon's St Patty's day party starting on the 9th. A couple more beer fest coming up in April as well-will post as soon as I have the dates

MAD RIVER STEELHEAD SCOTCH PORTER
Brewed in Blue Lake, California

This multifaceted, dark-brown porter’s pushy, roasted sharpness gains a soft, pillowy quality as it rolls across the tongue. Dispensed by a fine spray of fizziness, the balancing peat malt sweetness puts a touch of smoke and charcoal in all corners of the mouth. As the liquid warms, the smoothly blended mocha aroma displays more coffee than chocolate in the aftertase. Clean-tasting and strong (6.6%/vol.), Steelhead finishes with a lush, spreading bitterness.

QUAFF QUOTE
“They don’t mind it; it’s a regular holiday to them—all porter and skittles.”
—CHARLES DICKENS, THE PICKWICK PAPERS (1837)

Since I've peaked some interest in having a beer tasting party, I'm going to check with some of the local brew/beer pubs and see about setting up a tasting. If people could let me know what they'd like in a tasting, I'll see what I can do. Hopefully I'll have a better idea of when/who/how next week

  Jim,
  
  Beer makes everything right, if not, the beer after will.
  
  Here are some places where I would sample:
  - Watch City Brewery, Waltham, they brew it right there, the winter ale is quite good. great food.
  - Publick House, Brookline, previously known as Anam Cara, they give you a Paddle with four possible beers to taste from a huge list. great food. more paddle...
  - Harvard Square... I prefer Central Sq.
