Workshop
International Beer Day Session
What better way to celebrate International Beer Day than with a workshop that includes guided beer tasting {with samplers, of course!}, a DIY session and a beer quiz? If the thought of guzzling down international beers isn't tempting enough, there's also beer games {think beer pong and flip cup} to amp up the fun factor. You'll even get to create your own beer-based LLIIT! More about that here.
