Women’s Beer Forum: 2 year anniversary!

Ladies!

How time flies! We’ve completed 2 years of monthly women’s forums and we’re celebrating with a good ol’ fashioned pizza party… but better!

First, we’ve created our very own Women’s Forum glassware! Better yet, a portion of the proceeds from sales of these glasses will be donated to the National Ovarian Cancer Coalition (NOCC) to promote Women’s Health. The cool teal logo on the glass symbolizes our support of the cause and we’ll continue to donate all year round, so spread the word!

Now about the flight to celebrate this momentous occasion… Devon Randall, the head brewer at Pizza Port’s Solana Beach location is coming out to celebrate with us. And it only makes sense that we taste a flight of the AWESOME beers that she makes. Keep in mind that you typically have to go out to Pizza Port to get these beers, but Devon’s bringing them to us! Yay!! Since this beer is meant to be enjoyed with pizza, the Urban Oven Pizza Truck will be at the brewery to make sure that we get the full beer and pizza experience. So be sure to come hungry and thirsty!

The price for the forum will be $16 and will include an exclusive flight of beers, a flight sheet, a chance to meet Devon, and some QT with all your favorite ladies.

Need more convincing?? To celebrate the anniversary (and for this month only), you’ll get to keep the newly-designed glass (a portion of the proceeds will still be donated to NOCC)!

When is this PAR-TAY goin down? We’ll keep with tradition and it’ll be on the third Wednesday of the month, 3/20/13 from 7p-9p.

Well, what are you waiting for? Get it on your calendar and RSVP! Hope to see y’all there!

Cheers!

Women’s Beer Forum: Seeing RED

Hey ladies!

Can’t get enough of Valentine’s Day? Does the thought of Valentine’s Day make you wanna vomit? Or does it just make you wanna drink heavily? Either way, this month’s forum will be lots of FUN because it’ll be all about RED beers paired with delicious sweets!

Chelsea Lundy from The Sugar’d Flour (and The Angry Shrimp Truck) knows her sweets and will be baking up some delicious treats to pair with each of the reds in the flight. Did your mama teach you to have a proper meal before moving onto dessert? Fear not, Mandoline Grill will be here to help you out!

The Women’s Forum will be at the brewery on Wednesday 2/20/13, from 7p-9p. The cost will be $20 and will include an amazing flight of beers, the delicious treats to pair them with, a flight sheet, and a great time with your best female beer buddies. Now that’s a STEAL! (Space will be limited so please RSVP so that we know how many treats to have prepared.)

Hope to see y’all there!

Cheers!

Women’s Beer Forum: Chillax with some BEER FLOATS!

Hey ladies!

It’s almost that time again, and it’s turning into a toasty warm summer…. which makes me think that it’s time for a cold treat! This month’s Women’s Beer Forum will be all about BEER FLOATS!

If you haven’t tried them before, you’ve been missing out. Yeah, yeah, I know that some of you may be thinking that it’s really weird or perhaps kinda gross. However, with the right flavor of ice cream and just the right style of beer, these are some pretty amazing combinations!

Come out for some beer floats this month and try it for yourself!  I’ll be working with a local ice cream maker to get the perfect combinations, but I’m thinking 4 flavors of ice cream, 4 beers and a great time with your favorite girl friends! It’s a sweet deal for just $18! Don’t miss it!

The event will be held at the brewery on Wednesday, 7/18/12, from 7p-9p. Please rsvp on the website so that I’m sure to get enough ice cream for all the girls. Hope to see y’all there!

Cheers!

Women’s Beer Forum: Field Trip!

Hey ladies!

I’m super excited to share the topic of the next Women’s Beer Forum! We’re taking our project out on the (old) town and taking over Kings Row in Old Town Pasadena.

I’ll be partnering up with Brady Weise, bartender extraordinaire from 1886 and Dog Haus, to present a flight of specialty cocktails that feature our favorite beverage… BEER! And no, it’s not going to be the nasty concoctions that often come to mind when people talk about beer cocktails, nor is it just a way to mask the true colors of the beer. You’ll have to check it out to taste Brady’s mastery of this art for yourself!

The crew over at Kings Row are kind enough to give us our own space in the pub and make their entire delicious menu available to order from, so be sure to arrive both hungry and thirsty!

The next women’s forum will be on Wednesday, June 20, and will start at 7p. The price of the event will be $20 and will include a flight of amazing cocktails, a flight sheet to tell you about what you’re drinking, an opportunity to watch Brady work his magic, and of course some QT with your favorite homegirls in an AWESOME gastropub.

Space is limited so be sure to RSVP soon! Trust me, you don’t wanna miss this one! Hope to see you all there!

Cheers!

Women’s Beer Forum: Celebrating American Craft Beer

Hey ladies!

The women’s beer forum at the brewery is on Wednesday 5/16/12 this month.

It’s American Craft Beer week from 5/14/12-5/20/12 and we’re celebrating by paying homage to the breweries that helped to shape the current craft beer culture in America. Come explore and discuss some of the beers that taught America that beer can not only have a whole lot of flavor, but also push the boundaries of traditional styles to create a whole new spectrum of flavors.

We’re celebrating beers that, in true American style, pushed the envelope to allow for the recent explosion in new styles, reinterpretations of tradition, and refreshingly unique products. We wouldn’t be here (and your palates wouldn’t have been as happy) if not for the trailblazers in the craft beer industry, so come out and celebrate!

We’ll have a woman-owned food truck out here as usual, so be sure to come hungry and thirsty.

We’ll start at around 7p. The cost will be $14 and will include a flight of beers, a flight sheet, a little bit of craft beer education, and a whole lot of time with your favorite girlfriends. Hope to see you all there!

Cheers!
