DeKonstruct Sensory Event

At this event we will take a clean beer and deliberately ruin it. We spike samples with the most common off-flavors brewers fight every day. One might taste like buttered popcorn, another like creamed corn, another like wet cardboard or green apple. You’ll taste each one side by side with the original. You’ll learn what it is, where it comes from in the brewing process or the storage of the beer, and why it matters.

It isn’t a lecture. It’s hands-on and a little weird, and it’s built for anyone who’s curious, from first-time craft drinkers to seasoned homebrewers. You’ll leave with a sharper palate, a better vocabulary for what’s in your glass, and a new appreciation for how much goes into getting a beer right.

Because the best way to understand a great beer is to taste what happens when it goes wrong.
