First time at Pizza Peel and first beer "class." I cannot speak to their food, since I went with the intention of learning about beers from the Pizza Peel Beer Goddess event.
I'm not a beer drinker, but I'm very much for trying new things or learning about things...so when the beer class was offered, I was excited to go! A bunch of us ladies showed up and filled their heated and enclosed patio. Brian was a great teacher and was very knowledgeable about the beer making process (even passed around barley and hops). Did you know that hops not only makes beer bitter, but also works like a preservative? *Call me, A+ student*
We tried about a half-dozen types of beers...I should have taken notes, but just remember some were light and others were dark, some tasted like grapefruit and some like coffee, some smelled decent while others smelled not so decent. I guess beer is an acquired taste and one that I don't have yet...but I can appreciate the process and variety. By the way, they have a huge list of beers!
This same class is open to the public every Wednesday night in the month of February starting at 6:30pm. Next week, lagers or ports will be the focus.
The restaurant itself stayed busy and many people stopped by to pick up food to go. Next time I'm here I'll check out their pizza since I've read so many good reviews.
