THIS WEDNESDAY: Broadskills Beer 'n' Bites

Broad Skills, a local start up in Vancouver which aims to teach practical skills and knowledge to women, is hosting their next class, titled “Beers and Bites” at The Cascade Room this Wednesday, October 19th 2011 at 6:30pm. Tickets are available at www.broadskills.ca

The class will be taught by Ian McKay from Driftwood Brewery and Leah Heneghan from Vancouver Craft Beer Week. In class, the processes of brewing and tasting various beers will be discussed, as well as sampling five of Driftwood’s beers. The Cascade Room will also be offering appetizer style food pairings based on the beers selected by Driftwood.

Broadskills classes are open to women only, with the intention to have local experts share knowledge and skills with women, in a fun and non-intimidating environment. This class on beer, as well as future Broad Skills classes, will focus on topics that are not frequently taught elsewhere.
