I attended the 25th anniversary of Le Cheval Blanc brewpub in Montréal last weekend and it was fantastic. Le Cheval Blanc is the oldest craft brewery in Québec and a great place to visit if ever you’re in town. When I heard about what Le Cheval Blanc was doing to celebrate this landmark anniversary, I absolutely had to go.

A different kind of beer tasting

Usually when I organize guided beer tastings, I am trying to find the tastiest, most fun and contrasting selection of beers possible. Off-flavour sessions are something else entirely… These troubleshooting classes that I’m organizing are different. They are about exploring what can go wrong with beer because it is a complex and delicate beverage.
