MISBO AFTER HOURS: EVENING SOCIAL EVENTS
WEDNESDAY: MISBO On Tap Beer Tasting
Sponsored by A3 Communications and ISBC
Back by popular demand! The Beer Bros will walk us through different styles of beer, teaching us the intricacies of hops and fermentation styles. This is an interactive and engaging event. A list of beers that will be tasted (and suggested alternates) will be shared several weeks before the event, along with suggestions for snacks to pair with them.
THURSDAY: Cook-Along with Chef Jet Tila
Sponsored by Flik Independent School Dining
Join us as Chef Jet Tila (yes - the chef who was on the Mother's Day Episode of Chopped and who ran Rachael Ray's cooking camp) will be showing us how to make a custom-made MISBO meal. The simple ingredient list and other instructions will be shared before the event, so you can cook alongside the chef. There might also be live drawings for cookbooks, which he will sign for you live!
