Brock Wagner, Founder & CM Cooking School Staff

Located in Houston, St. Arnold’s is Texas’ oldest craft brewery. Founded in 1994 by a home brewer, St. Arnold’s takes pride in brewing first class beers and delivering them to customers at the peak of freshness. Enjoy five of their brews as you learn about the legend of St. Arnold and more. Menu includes:

• Amber Ale,  well balanced & full flavored, has a rich malty body and a light fruitiness which will be paired with Secco de Pollo  (Peruvian Chicken Stew with Fresno Peppers);
• Fancy Lawnmower, a true German-style Kolsch beer, is crisp and refreshing with a sweet malty body that is balanced by a complex citrus hop character. You’ll sample this with Gavurdaði Salatasi (Turkish Tomato Salad with Herbs & Pomegranate).
• Elissa IPA, a well balanced, authentic version of an India Pale Ale style without excessive bitterness will be complemented by All Crustacean Canapés on Black Bread.
• Oktoberfest a full bodied , malty, slightly sweet beer celebrates the Autumn harvest and should pair perfectly with Patagonian Potato Galette; and
• Brown Ale, released in honor of the brewery’s one year anniversary,  is one of the brewery’s favorites for pairing with  a variety of foods. Try it with our Venison Sliders with Pancetta & Parmigiano-Reggiano Crisps.

Brewmaster, Victory Brewing Co., PA.& CM Cooking School Staff

Having trained in Germany, the Brewmasters rely on traditional methods, the best processing that technology can offer and creativity to develop their brews. You’ll sample four of their beers as you learn about production techniques, ingredients and their drive for excellence. Menu includes:

• Prima Pils: Heaps of hops give this pale lager a bracing, herbal bite over layers of soft and smooth malt flavor. This refreshing combination of tastes makes Prima a classy quencher in the tradition of the great pilsners of Europe. We’ll pair it with an appetizer of Russian Blinis with Smoked Salmon & American Caviar with Crème Fraîche.  
• Golden Monkey is a golden, Belgian-style ale with the  richness of German malts and Belgian yeast that are tempered by a sparkling approach and overall light body. Fettuccine Carbonara should show its true character.
• Hop Devil is menacingly delicious, with the powerful, aromatic punch of whole flower American hops backed up by rich, German malts. This ale offers a roller coaster ride of flavor that should be complemented by Lamb & Veal Kefta with Tomato-Cucumber Salad.
• Our tasting will conclude with a sampling of Hop Wallop that celebrates the pioneering spirit of those who dare mighty adventurous things in this vivid, robust ale. Shrimp Piri Piri should stand up to this vibrant beer.
