About the Event

This class full! If you have questions about your reservation or need to cancel- email us at events@wfyi.org. Don't forget to pick up your sampler pack from Bier Brewery Tuesday or Wednesday. More information below. 


Have you ever wondered what the difference is between an IPA and a Hefeweizen? Join the WFYI Nerds and Bier Brewery for a virtual beer tasting to learn all about craft beer! During the virtual tasting, you will sample a selection of beers from Bier Brewery and learn about how each beer is made and what makes each unique.

Beer sampler kits of 6 will be available for pickup at the 65th Street Bier Brewery location in advance of the event. The price for the 6 biers is $7.  They will be in a six pack. The 6 beers are Kolsch, Wiezengoot, PDG, Amarillo, Daystarter, and Pink Lemonade Seltzer. Cost for the sampler kits will be due at time of pickup. Once you register we will reserve your sampler kit to be picked up and paid for. They will be available for pick-up on August 15th (12-9 pm), August 16 (12-7 pm), August 18 or 19 (3-9 pm).
