Fermentational Informational
Thursday, April 11, 2013
6 p.m. - 11 p.m.
Fill up your glass, then fill up your brain! With wine and beer sampling from local breweries and wineries, fermentation demonstrations, beer density experiments, presentations by local experts, trivia, music, bars, and more, put your favorite beverages under the microscope and celebrate the biology, chemistry and hand-to-mouth physics that allow these beverages to delight your senses.
Guests will receive eight (8) beer and wine tickets for 3 oz. sampling with ticket purchase. Bars will serve beer and wine for purchase throughout the evening.
Highlight of the evening:
- Author Mary Roach, beloved for her factual and funny books Stiff, Spook, and Bonk, will be speaking on her new pop-science probe due out in April: Gulp. This time she's looking within—down the alimentary canal, sharing true stories of gastrointestinal intrigue. Curious how that wine went to your head by way of your belly? Here's the woman to ask.
Get here early this Social Science!
With a Minnesota Wild game at the Xcel Energy Center and Social Science, our parking lot WILL fill up the evening of April 11—so plan ahead to make sure you get a spot and drink responsibly! Consider busing, cabbing, or carpooling with a designated driver. Beat the traffic and stop by one of our local restaurants for some dinner before joining us at 6 p.m. for what is sure to be a great event. Looking forward to seeing you this Fermentational Informational! Transit to the Museum
