This month’s meetup was a little bit different than the standard VinoVigilance fare. We discovered our other favourite fermentable, beer!

A favourite beer pairing — mountain of pad thai and a dry, crisp Thai lager like Singha. (Good Luck Thai restaurant, in Lan Kwai Fong, Hong Kong)

Brewscience on tap features some of the basic (and not so basic) science of making beer and distilling spirits from grain to glass.

For those of you that couldn’t make it to the tasting please find the list and the presentation below
