The Wide World of Beer

Please join us to learn about the Wide World of Beer.  There are over sixty styles of beers brewed in the world, more than 5,000 breweries and more than 15,000 brands of beer among all the styles brewed. In the United States it's no longer just the expensive imported beers that serious beer lovers seek out. There has been a renaissance in the brewing and consumption of beer over the past 35 years. As is the case with wines, coffees, teas, breads and many other foods, Americans are seeking out and trying new and interesting beverages.  Gregg Glaser will speak about the history of beer and the many styles available.
