Lauren (pictured) and Eric Salazar, New Belgium Brewing’s wood beer specialists, will kick off their five-city Sour Symposium tour Friday, Deb. 13, at Culinary Dropout in Tempe.
Attendees will learn the art of blending beer – from grain to glass – focusing on techniques the Salazars use in the Colorado brewery’s cellar while enjoying a pint of New Belgium’s La Folie.
They also will get to blend their own sour beers using different samples of unblended base beers kept in individual foeders in the brewery’s cellar.
Two-hour classes will be held at 5 and 8 p.m. Cost is $50 per person. Get your ticket here.
