Beer Tasting 4 - 7pm Friday, Jan 13


Your host is Renzo of Harry's staff
Renzo Kian-Kubota, Artisan Beer Specialist and team leader
Joined Harry’s team in 2004 as a stock person on the beer and liquor side of the store had the good fortune of working with 2 very knowledgeable beer fanatics. Renzo is truly the story of keeping your head down and your ears open. He surprised us along the way with all that he had learned working with, and for some of the best this business has to offer. In 2008 he made the leap from assistant to leader in our specialized beer section and continues to grow further than was ever expected. He takes great pride in all that he has accomplished and Harry’s is proud to see a young man like him put forth the commitment it takes to be good at what you do.

Interesting to note that the write-up is from our "about us" page on the Harry's website. Since it was published Renzo has really advanced in his understanding of the world of beer and has become quite a recognized player in the industry. He's traveled the world and visited a many producers gaining more and more knowledge at every stop. He has gone from student to teacher and has earned the respect of his peers. Renzo is also quite fascinated with Whisky and tequila. If you have a question my bet is he will give you the answer.

City Steam Brewery

Blonde on Blonde $9.99/6pb
A beautiful, fragrant golden-amber STOCK ALE, which is akin to a very bitter, fragrant and filtered I.P.A. 15 degrees Plato. Loads of hops! Oh Mama!

Naughty Nurse $9.59/6pb
Sunset in color, brewed with a combination of pale and crystal malts, London yeast, and a variety of traditional English hops for a spicy, slightly bittersweet finish and a wonderful fruity and flowery aroma.
