If you enjoy craft beer, join us at Green Gables tomorrow evening for a tasting of beers from around the world that feature hops. Tomorrow’s Second Friday Beer Tasting celebrates the annual theme It’s March for the Love of Hop! This year, our tasting will focus less on palate-wrecking hoppy beers and instead on the interesting uses of hop varieties in differing craft beer styles. Hops are the female flower of the hop plant, Humulus lupulus, which exhibits a profusion of aromas and tastes in beer depending on the specific hop variety (of the dozens that exist) employed and the stage in brewing process when they are introduced. The lager and ales we shall pour tomorrow are:

Otter Creek Citra Mantra (American Pale Lager)
Brooklyn Sorachi Ace (Saison)
Left Hand Brewing Sawtooth Ale (Extra Special Bitter)
Lavery Allta Madra (American IPA)
21st Amendment Brew Free or Die (American IPA)
Scheldebrouwerij Hop Ruiter (Belgian Strong Pale Ale)
Founders Black Rye (Rye Ale)
The Hop Concept – Dank & Sticky (Imperial IPA)

The tasting occurs tomorrow, Friday, March 13 from 6 to 9 pm. $25 per person includes tastes of the eight beers and a selection of light hors d’oeuvres. Reserve your tastes now at 814 629 9201, option 1!
