Christina Perozzi’s Beer Tastings

Your thirst for knowledge — cold, refreshing, foam-topped knowledge by the pint, six-pack, and keg — is about to be quenched.

Mmmmmmm. Knowledge.

Raise your glass to Christina Perozzi’s private beer tastings, where you can learn the finer points of the world’s oldest alcoholic drink or simply know your ale from your elbow.

The aficionado will arrive with the goods and walk you through the basics, work around a theme, or put on a bigger production complete with food. Expect bottles from small breweries and hard-to-find labels, and informative handouts in case class goes to your head.

She’s been siren of the suds at Father’s Office, The Otheroom, and Library Bar, and her latest gig is beer sommelier at Rustic Canyon Wine Bar & Seasonal Kitchen. Join her there Sunday for the Beer Bash, a five-course menu inspired by the beverage and hand-picked pairings.

You’ll see what all the brew-haha is about.
