Zupan’s Market launches Beer 101 Tasting Class Series
The Portland local Zupan’s Markets have launched a new Beer 101 tasting class educational series with monthly lessons on beer styles and regions from company beer buyer Bill Dineen. Throughout the series, guests will have a chance to take deeper dives into the world of Lagers and Ales, or even explore the beers of Germany and Belgium. Exploring the fundamentals of beer, the classes will be held at the Cellar Z events space at the West Burnside Zupan’s location. The first introductory course has already taken place, but 5 more courses will be held up through July, and each is a standalone experience.
Each class is $40 and includes tastings of 6 beers, plus cheese, charcuterie, and other beer snacks. Cellar Z is located at 2340 W Burnside St, Portland, OR 97210.
