🍺Evening Before the Conference: A Sensory Journey with Roger Mittag

Hosted at Troubled Monk

Join us for an unforgettable evening of beer, food, and discovery with Roger Mittag, Canada’s leading beer expert.

Roger has been delivering quality beer education since 1997 and is a trusted consultant and educator to breweries and restaurant groups across the country. His enthusiastic approach and deep industry knowledge have transformed how businesses and consumers understand beer.

In 2009, Roger created Prud’homme Beer Certification®, the first comprehensive, multi-level online beer education program in the world — and he’s bringing that same passion and expertise to this exclusive, pre-conference event.

🍽️ Pairing Beer with Food: A Sensory Journey

• Is beer pairing even possible?

• Isn’t beer just for before dinner?

• Can beer really complement a meal?

The answer is a resounding yes.
Beer is a complex and diverse beverage, and when thoughtfully paired with food, it can elevate your entire dining experience.

At this intimate session, Roger will guide attendees through a multi-course amuse-bouche experience, pairing small bites with expertly selected beers. You’ll explore the science, the art, and the surprising synergies behind each pairing — and leave with a deeper appreciation for what beer can truly be.
