GBH Craft Beer Tasting with This Old House

September 19, 2024, 7-8:30pm ET

Calling all fans of This Old House and craft beer! 

We invite you to attend this unique 90-minute tasting experience. Guests will be sent a kit containing a selection of four independent, craft beers celebrating the season of Oktoberfest. Whether you're versed in many brew styles or just beginning to learn more about the finer points of artisan craft beer, this entertaining virtual event will expand your knowledge of the history and process that goes into creating these special brews. Each beer has been hand-picked by Certified Cicerone® Hal Mooney, the founder of Your Beer Friend, and the evening’s host.

This exclusive private Zoom will feature This Old House host, Kevin O’Connor, and Charlie Silva, General Contractor. Engage with them as they taste along with you and Hal. The talented This Old House duo will share unique anecdotes from their arsenal of stories amassed working on the show. Swap tasting notes in the chat with them as you savor the 4 distinct brews we’ll be sampling during the event.
