TMCC's Where Do Beer Flavors Come From? • Sunday, Sept. 7

Wonder why your favorite beer tastes like citrus, chocolate, or coffee? Or how some beers get unexpected notes of banana, clove or even pepper? Explore the fascinating world of beer flavors with storyteller and flavor enthusiast Mike Higdon for a fun, interactive beer tasting at Schussboom Brewing Co. Learn how simple ingredients—like malt, hops, yeast and water—create a vast range of flavors, and how brewers enhance them with everything from roasted grains and fruit additions to experimental ingredients. Dive into the good, the complex, and the occasionally strange flavors you might find in your glass. We’ll touch on the “off” flavors, too and what causes them. Whether you’re a casual drinker or a craft beer nerd, you’ll leave with a better appreciation for what’s in your pint.
