Milwaukee, WI – March 27, 2018 – Lowlands Group announced their lineup of popular monthly Bierklasses for 2018, appealing to bier lovers and novices alike. Each class follows a special theme and provides a different experience for Bierklasse participants.

Hosted in unique settings at various Lowlands locations, such as restaurant patios, rooftop decks or private dining rooms, the Bierklasses feature a selection of exclusive biers from all over the world, many of which can only be found in this region at a Lowlands Group restaurant.

Starting with the history of how the biers came to be, a knowledgeable bier trainer from Lowlands Group and special guests from various breweries guide participants through the tastings and flavors, answering questions and sharing interesting facts along the way. Attendees are encouraged to participate and engage with the experts, sometimes through games and interactive activities—an aspect distinct to Lowlands Group Bierklasses.

“We can’t wait for our guests to check out this unique lineup of Bierklasses,” says Ileana Rivera, beverage director at Lowlands Group. “They’re the perfect way to try biers from both local breweries—and around the world—without ever leaving your favorite neighborhood café. The unique Bierklasse format that is led by passionate bier experts, along with the interesting stories we share, makes for a really unique experience.”
