It is a Belgium taste that is brewing
These are always fun and people always tend to have a good time: A Dilly Deli tasting event.
The Dilly Deli hosts a handful of unique wine and beer tastings each year, and the next one involves Belgian beer on Wednesday, July 25.
The beauty with this particular tasting is that there will be two, count 'em two, sessions so as to offer the opportunity to taste a brew or two to more people.
"This is something very unique. What we'll have are two single barrel lambics from Frank Boon, one of the most highly respected lambic blenders around," the owners said. "Each one of these two barrels is literally the only one in the world, an individual lot."
What Boon normally does is blend all those single lots together to produce one beer. Attendees will be served three glasses - two with distinct and separate lambics, and one empty glass.
"After you sip each separately, you can use your third empty glass as a lab beaker and create your own blend. Half and half? Two to one? You decide," the owners said.
There will also be four or five other Belgian brews to sip and contemplate.
Due to the nature of these servings, the Dilly Deli will only able to accommodate 40 people at a time, but, as we previously stated, there will be two sessions. Reservations for a specific session are a must. Cost is $25 per person. The $25 will get you a pack of tickets, each one good for a specific beer, including the single barrel lambics. Reserve by return e-mail, or by calling the wine and beer shop at 561-5233. The first session will be from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. and the second session will be from 7:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.
