Winter Beer Tasting

Posted on January 17, 2012 by Boundary Bay

On Saturday, January 21st, a few Boundary Bay Brewery folks will be at Bellingham Technical College (BTC) teaching about Winter Beers.  Join Anthony, our Assistant Brewer, and Matt, our Kitchen Manager and BTC culinary program alumni, for an afternoon of Winter Beer Tasting and food pairing!

Winter is a great time to stay indoors and warm-up with some great beer and friends. This winter you’ll have the opportunity to do just that at our “Winter Beer Tasting” class…you’ll experience a selection of strong ales, barley wines, and other winter warmers along with pairings of delicious food. The class focus will be on seasonal releases fro the U.S. and Europe plus a vertical tasting of barley wine to see how aging beer changes the flavor.

In the class, you’ll get to enjoy two spiced ales, some strong ales and barley wines – including one from Schamlz Brewing that was made with fig, date and grape juices aged in rye whiskey barrels.  There’ll even be a two year vertical tasting of Big Foot Barley Wine!  Along with all this delicious beer, Matt will be cooking up some focused food pairings to perfectly accompany these big winter beers.  Expect lots of seasonal dishes and warm, comforting foods.  Perfect for all this chilly, snowy weather we’ve been having!

There are still six seats left in this Winter Beer Tasting class, so call Bellingham Technical College or register online and reserve YOUR spot for this Saturday!  Cheers.  Oh, and if you’re STILL not convinced, check out this blog about the beer pairing class Anthony and Matt did last April.

Learn More About Beer in the New Year!

Posted on January 10, 2011 by Boundary Bay

If you know Anthony, one of our brewers here at Boundary Bay Brewery, you know that he is passionate about beer.  He brews it professionally here at work AND he dabbles in homebrewing when he’s not here at work.  He likes to drink beer, talk about beer, learn about beer and teach about beer.  And now you have a chance to glean some of his knowledge and passion through his classes at the Bellingham Technical College!  The first of his classes in 2011 is coming up this Saturday.

Join him on January 15th for an Introduction to Craft Beer Styles and Flavors or sign up for February’s class for a Winter Beer Tasting. In the spring, Anthony is also planning on hosting a class called Beers of the British Isles.  In it, you’ll get to taste and discuss the history of beer from England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales.  You’ll learn about the strong brewing traditions in these countries and taste American variations on the classic British styles.  Cheers!
