Local company BeerNerdz held their third beer tasting competition September 17th at The Beer Co. downtown. Attend- ees faced the challenged to guess which local beers they were drinking based on a sheet of descriptions and tasting tips. An impressive six people got perfect scores! The next BeerNerdz tasting is on October 15th at The Beer Co. from 5-8pm. The theme this time is Oktober- fest; try four local brewers’ interpreta- tions of the style alongside four German brewers’ takes.
