ASN Counts Down for Ultimate Belgian Tasting III

April 10, 2008, at Heartland Brewery, Empire State Building

Try a beer brewed in the holy confines of a Trappist monastery; or coax the cork from a bottle of beer fermented  with wild, airborne yeast, then blended in a barrel with cherries; how about a beer brewed in Southampton with flower petals?

This is the world of Belgian beer and Belgian-style beers that will be showcased at Ale Street News’ third annual Ultimate Belgian Tasting. The cream of the crop of Belgian imports as well as select examples from America’s cutting-edge brewers will be available for tasting at Heartland Brewery’s Empire State location which has been booked exclusively for the night of Thurs., April 10.

Couple this with an array of delectable delights from area chefs, a smorgasbord of cheese and chocolates, and Belgian treats like waffles and ice cream, and you have a night not to be missed.

Babin said last year’s sold out event, and subsequent kudos, proved consumers are welcoming the UBT’s upscale format and are willing to go the extra mile for such a quality event. “Our suggested jacket and tie dress code for men, and asking women to dress ‘as elegantly as you feel’ was a tremendous hit,” Babin said. “It will be something to remember. We hope to see you there.”

As in past years a donation from the event will be made to the Tomorrows Children’s Fund.
