Connoisseur Tasting Seminars
The Connoisseur Tasting is Saturday afternoon (held between 5:30 and 7pm on the Saturday of the Beerfest prior to the opening of the Grand Tasting session at 7pm.) and offers you the opportunity to really learn the ins and outs about a brewery or breweries. In a classroom environment, you have the time and venue to sample special offerings (some with food pairing tastes) and to ask questions with the Brewers themselves. 8 Seminars will be held at 5:30 and be repeated at 6:15 so you can attend up to 2 of your choosing.
Once you purchase your Connoisseur Ticket, you will be sent an email with info on how to choose your Seminars. The cost of the Connoisseur Tasting Session is $45 in advance and includes entry for the evening Grand Tasting ($15 if already purchased an evening ticket). Space is extremely limited. Each Seminar will last approximately 30-40 minutes and you also receive 5 extra sampling tokens good for sampling other select beers outside of the Seminars before the Hall opens for the Grand Tasting Session at 7pm.
