Green Mountain Beer Institute will be bringing you on a journey through the history of beer in Germany, which has its roots dating back to 500 a.d., when women (yes, women) were the primary brewers of beer, on to the “German Beer Purity Law”, enacted in 1516, which guaranteed beer purity by specifying its ingredients, and into modern times and the current beer and brewing styles of today.
To compliment this Bavarian exploration, The Woods Lodge will be providing a feast of traditional German fare, including Schweinenbraten, a delicious roast pork dish, served with braised cabbage and spatzle (noodles) — a perfect pairing with a fine German pilsner beer.
