International Craft Beer & Food Adventure – An Inspiring Exploration of Delicious
Host Charlie Papazian continues his love affair with great beer and flavor infused food. He and his family have pursued the love of both for many years both at home and abroad. Sharing his experiences is something he has always enjoyed doing. This year's program will revisit many of the successes of last year's experience while continuing our exploration of delicious food and beer combinations. New and time-tested ideas about food and beer enjoyment will inevitably enhance our appreciation of beer's place in our lives. An international collection of craft beer will help guide our experience and discussion. Diversity is the spice of life. When it embraces thoughtfully crafted beer and food, enjoyed with companions, it creates lifelong memories. Discussions will include, craft beer styles and flavor infused internationally inspired cuisine, exploring in thought, glass and dishful servings throughout your days and evenings at Whitehead Light Station.
Elements of spice, Umami, aroma, flavor, mouthfeel, appearance and after taste will weave its way into the discussion of both Craft beer and the food with which it is paired. Thoughtful discussions will continue involving recipes, ingredients, traditions, styles, discoveries, long and short tales, travel experiences, food, cuisine and our relationship with comfort. It is a relatively short adventure, but the memories and enjoyment will last a lifetime.
"Join me where Whitehead Island meets Heaven on Earth."
