4:00–4:30 WOMEN IN BEER PANEL

CHRISTINE STAHL | The Tap House | Rochester, MN

After years of working at a fine dining restaurant in downtown Roch-ester, she partnered with longtime friend Natalie Victoria to start the first ever bar dedicated to craft beer in the Rochester area. Together these two women have changed the craft beer community in Roches-ter forever. You can find 50 craft beers and some of the best food in Rochester at The Tap House, and don’t be afraid to ask questions, her staff is the best of the best.

GABBY RUDISILL | Ballast Point Brewing Company | San Diego, CA

Gabby is one of the true icons of the Minnesota craft beer scene. Not because she is a woman, but because she has worked at all three lev-els of the three tier system. She started her journey with the Blue Plate Group in the Twin Cities, managing multiple locations and preserving their beer lists. Then she moved on to the distributor side of things with Hohenstein’s, calling on some of the best craft beer bars in the Twin Cities. She then moved to Ballast Point where she has made the brand a staple throughout the state of MN.

SARAH MEYER | Bent Paddle Brewing Company | Duluth, MN

Sarah is yet another one of the true MN craft beer warriors. Once again, not because she is a woman, but because she too has worked at all three levels of the three tier system. She has managed the presti-gious Republic at Seven Corners, before moving on to Hohenstein’s to learn and work in that side of the industry. She then moved on to Bent Paddle Brewing Company out of Duluth. She is part of a special team taking a local MN brand to the regional level and hopefully the national level in the future.

TASTING BEER

Tasting beer can be very rewarding. As you encounter new styles or brands it helps to know what to look for in a new beer as well as how to evaluate it. Take your time and work through the aspects of each beer, one by one.

APPEARANCE: How does it look? Examine the appearance of the beer itself. Hold the glass up to the light and examine the color, clarity, and head. Is it clear or cloudy? Note whether the head is dense or thin. The color of the head is also worth noting and can range from pure white on Pilsners to light or medium brown on some stouts and porters.

AROMA: Take your time with the aroma. Bring it to your nose and inhale. Try to take several good sniffs before you take your first sip. If you’re taking notes, stop to write your impressions before the first sip distracts you. What does it smell like? Does it smell primarily of hops, malt, yeast, or something else?

FIRST SIP: Note the initial sen-sation as the beer enters your mouth. Think about whether it is sweet, bitter, fruity, sour or some-thing else. There can be quite a bit of difference between the first taste and the finish.

MOUTHFEEL: This is the texture of the beer or how it physically feels in your mouth. Beer ranges from silky, dry stouts, to thick and chewy. Try to note the body, car-bonation, warmth, creaminess, and astringency.

FINISH: Note the lingering fla-vors after you swallow the drink. Often it can be bitter from the hops or it can have a lingering malty sweetness. Stop before your next drink and try to write down everything you just de-tected. Try to confirm it with your second drink or see if you need to rethink your conclusions.

STYLES: There is a lot of varia-tion from one beer to the next with regards to style. Some beers are brewed with style in mind and others are not. Styles can be used as a learning tool to look at historical brewing norms and to help understand where certain characteristics of beer come from. The Beer Judge Certifica-tion Program Style Guidelines and the Brewers Association Beer Style Guidelines are two great sources of information to learn more about beer styles.
