If you don’t mind a good brew but feel a bit lost trying to keep up with Brisbane’s blossoming craft-beer scene, the Beer Book Club is the place for you. Matt started the club as a way for those with an interest in the world of craft beer to dip their toes in without feeling intimidated (which you’ll understand if you’ve ever witnessed full-on hop-heads nerding out over a particular brew). The Beer Book Club is a chill, friendly and accessible way for anyone with an interest in craft beer to learn more about it – starting with the very basics.
Beer Book Club kicks off today, Thursday February 28, with an introductory session at The Alliance Hotel being dedicated to lagers and ales. Tickets get you a light meal and six samples of beer, as well as a front-row seat to Matt’s expert but chill explanation of the two main styles of suds. Future sessions will delve into different styles, with pilsners and pale ales next on the list to cover off. Can’t make it to a session but suffering from FOMO? Craft Wine Store will be making book packs that outline everything that goes down at the Beer Book Club, including which beers were explored along with tasting notes.
