Chicago's First Barley's Angels Chapter Meeting October 17

On Wednesday October 17th, 2012 at 6:30pm Local Option (1102 W. Webster Ave, Chicago, IL) will host the first Chicago chapter meeting for Barley’s Angels. Attendees will taste five stylistically unique beers paired with artisanal cheeses from Pastoral Artisan Cheese, Bread & Wine, and the opportunity to participate in a robust discussion with Barley’s Angels Chicago chapter leader, Lorna Juett, with assistance from the beer experts and brewers of Local Option.

A limited number of tickets to the event ($25 each) are available exclusively through Local Option’s webshop at this link: http://localoptionbier.com/store/. Please purchase your tickets in advance.

This first meeting will focus primarily on wheat-based styles, and attendees will get a primer on some basic cheese and beer pairing guidelines as well.

So what is Barley's Angels, you may ask?

Barley's Angels is a growing collection of individual chapters around the world that work with craft beer focused breweries, brewpubs, restaurants, alehouses and other public beer establishments to advance the female consumer craft beer enthusiast, resulting in increased patronage and revenue from women, while encouraging education and interest in beer among this often under-recognized demographic group.

Barley's Angels is not just a social, beer-drinking club for women. Barley's Angels respect beer and brewing, have a thirst for education, enjoy beer responsibly and act appropriately at all times.

I hope to see all you lady nerds there!
