L.A. Sour Symposium With New Belgium Brewing – Dec. 5, 2015
(Santa Monica,CA) – Beer geeks unite for a special evening with Lauren and Eric Salazar, New Belgium Brewing’s wood beer specialists. On Friday, December 5 in Los Angeles, Calif., the Salazars will present the final sessions of their five-stop Sour Symposium tour for 2014. Each event offers a hands-on opportunity to experience beer making as guests experiment with their own blend, enjoy a pint of New Belgium’s La Folie, and take home a new appreciation of sour beers.
“Beer blending is a sensory art that has been relied on for centuries to create both balance and complexity,” said Lauren. “This Sour Symposium is a great way to experience beer making in its purest form and attendees leave with a true appreciation for the wonderful world of sours!”
Los Angeles’ Sour Symposium will feature two different sessions, each lasting two hours. Guests will go through the art of blending beer – from grain to glass – focusing on techniques Eric and Lauren use in New Belgium’s cellar. Attendees will also get to blend their own sour beers using different samples of unblended base beers kept in individual foeders of the brewery’s cellar and document their blend ratios to see who has what it takes to be the next Master Blender.
