LA JOLLA–If last year’s Antique Brewery fest was any indication then the second annual fest is going to be a smashing hit. Presented by the La Jolla Historical Society in partnership with Merchant duVin, purveyors of fine antique crafted beers, and Giuseppe’s Restaurant and Fine Catering, the event will take place on Saturday, November 20 from 6:00 to 8:30 p.m. in the historic Wisteria Cottage, 780 Prospect Street, La Jolla.
“This is one of the newest fundraisers for the Society and one where we have a lot of fun,” John Bolthouse, the Society’s executive director said. “You get to taste some of the history’s best beers along with fine food from one of La Jolla’s best caterers – all while raising money to support the Society’s programs. Everyone wins!”
Sample special beers, some dating back to the 11th century, from breweries in Belgium, England, Scotland, Germany and the Czech Republic; Learn how cultural and social history of beer from the classic brewing regions contributes to each brew’s unique flavor; Discover beer’s role in history, from Germany’s 1516 “Reinheitsgebot” to early taxation on beer to the breweries of the Trappist Monastery; Enjoy scrumptious hors d’oeuvres by La Jolla’s own Giuseppe’s.
