The Craft Beer Experience with Charlie Papazian
Host Charlie Papazian returns to Whitehead Light Station in 2020! Beer enthusiasts, friends and partners are invited to nurture their love of island adventure, beer and lasting friendships in a ninth season of this unique beer and brewing adventure. Charlie will guide explorations of craft beer and home brewing, with an emphasis on celebrating the world's evolving beer culture. The course will include a field trip to nearby local Maine breweries. Participants will enhance their knowledge of brewing beer, tasting beer, and the history of beer, while enjoying beer in an outstanding and unforgettable environment. There will be plenty of time to relax, read, and enjoy unplugged and unhurried moments. Most organized activities will be in the morning or around dinnertime. The 5-day experience will include discussions/lectures, personal stories, great meals (sample menu) and a spectacular variety of beers. The collection of beers will be unusual, some very difficult to find; Charlie will also share his personal collection of special beers. You do not have to be a devoted home brewer or beer enthusiast to enjoy this special experience – it's fun and relaxing even to those who have come thinking, "I don't really like beer that much...."
There will be a maximum of 12 course participants. This is a unique opportunity and an unparalleled journey exploring the joys of beer and brewing from around the world. In two words, it is "life inspiring." Come see what we mean.
