Beer Workshop: Food Pairing Techniques / with Rich Higgins

Saturday, February 15, 3:00-5:30pm
Tickets: $45 for members, $50 for the general public

Celebrate SF Beer Week at 18 Reasons! Learn and taste the techniques for delicious, memorable pairings of beer and food with Master Cicerone Rich Higgins.

Join Rich for a tasting workshop on pairing beer perfectly with food. In class, you'll hone your palate, taste how beer builds its flavor, and learn about the impact of cooking techniques on pairing with beer. From a menu of six beers, we'll guess which will work best and which will be worst with each of six different dishes, then we'll taste them all. In a special toast to SF Beer Week, we'll wrap up the class with one last slam-dunk pairing!
