Why did Ben Franklin brew with spruce trees? What makes a porter a porter? And why do oysters taste so good with stout? Discover the answer to these questions during a night of sensory experiences at Yards Brewing Company. Interact with the Yards brewers as they explain the science of the brewing process and the chemistry behind some of their favorite brews — what happens to make an IPA different from a saison? In the tasting room, explore some great beer and food pairings and find out from taste experts the chemistry that makes them go together. Must be 21+.
