About this Event

Believe it or not, Italy is hands-down the most exciting and innovative place in the world for craft beer! With no tradition to speak of, the Italians have built their beer culture from the ground up, drawing far more extensively from the Slow Food movement than traditional English, German, or Belgian styles. And, over the past ten years, hundreds of artisanal breweries and brewpubs have sprung up all over The Boot, creating extraordinary products that defy categorization and titillate even the most experience palate! Join Jon Lundbom from B. United International, one of the nation’s premier beer importers, on a journey learning about and – more importantly, tasting – an extensive selection of world-class beers from across Italy. Not to be missed!
