Library's Craft
Beer Class on Farmhouse Ales
Farmhouse ales offer a level of variety and complexity found in few
other families of beer styles. Simultaneously rustic and refined, these
beer styles draw inspiration from the beers brewed by Belgian and
French farm estates of the 18th and 19th centuries. Farms in those
times were responsible for providing beer to sustain and refresh their
seasonal field workers, and each farm's beer was different from the
last. Modern farmhouse beer styles carry forward this tradition of
individuality while also exploring new frontiers of flavor.
On Thursday August 3 and Thursday September 14 at 6:30 p.m. each night,
the Greenville Public Library’s Craft Beer Education Series will take a
look at the long tradition of farmhouse brewing, and explore how we as
a rural community are uniquely positioned to appreciate these agrarian
styles. The Craft Beer Education Series is lead by David Nilsen,
Certified Cicerone. David will guide attendees through a tasting
of five beer styles, explaining the history and unique ingredients and
brewing processes of each.
Craft Beer Education Series classes are free, but seats are limited and
registration is required. Please call the Library at 937-548-3915 to
reserve your seat. We hope to see you there!
