An Evening with Peter Bouckaert

05/15/2009 6:00 pm

On May 15 at 6:00 p.m. I have scheduled an evening with Peter Bouckaert, head brewer of New Belgium brewery. Peter has graciously agreed to present to the Rock Hoppers, just us, no one else, about the experimental beers of New Belgium, ie: La Folie, Kevin's Ale, Le Fleur Misseur, Bier De Mars and others. Expect some very unique sampling and an extremely interesting discussion with Peter about "the bugs" as he calls them. I don't know how many of you have seen Peter speak before, but this is not an opportunity to be missed. He is, quite frankly, incredible.

Please, please, please make every effort to attend this event as Peter and New Belgium are going out of their way to provide this for our club. You will have an opportunity for essentially one on one discussion with Peter about anything you want to know. He's a Belgian (born and educated) master brewer. Sign up by May 5 as I have promised New Belgium a head count for logistic purposes.

Car pooling (or overnight in Fort Collins) is encouraged and I'm sure arrangements on that will follow.
