Flavors of Maine 201: Beer and Cider
This drop-in class is offered once or twice a week (on Monday and Friday one week, and Wednesday the next)! Buy your tickets online at www.mainetastingcenter.com/classes or in-person at the bar in the Tasting Room (in-person ticket sales close 15 minutes prior to class start time).
Explore the brewed flavors of Maine! Take your tastebuds on a trip around the state and explore the wide variety of beers and ciders being produced right here in our state. Participants will be introduced to six Maine-made ciders and beers from six different producers - and hear the stories behind the brewers that brought them to your glass.
Your Maine Tasting Center guide will walk you through a flight of six brewed beverages, including both beers and ciders in a variety of styles. Learn about the styles represented, the types of brewing ingredients that are produced here in Maine (hops, malts, apples, etc), and the stories of the breweries themselves.
This guided, 30-minute experience is a fantastic introduction to Maine's beer/cider landscape and history. We recommend scheduling this class at the beginning of your time in Maine so you can take advantage of all you've learned during the rest of your trip. Stick around afterwards for personalized recommendations from your MTC host about wineries, breweries, markets, farms and other agritourism experiences to seek out while in Maine - customized to your interests and the regions you plan to visit while in Maine.
