Bodacious Belgian Beers for Bitchin' Babes
A bit of a disclaimer from the "Shameless Self Promotion Department":
Although I am involved in the following event, I am donating my time. So this is not a commercial posting for my personal benefit. At least not too much, unless you consider it shameless self promotion to try to get some women who want to try Belgian beers to join us on Saturday. Is that so wrong? :)
"… we have nothing in common except a king, chocolate and beer," an extreme Flemish proponent recently said of the rift between Belgian's Dutch-speaking Flanders region and the French-speaking Wallonia.
Kelly Stewart, owner of the Purple Tooth Lounge, and Lisa Morrison, also known as Portland's Beer Goddess, think the beer and chocolate part sounds like a good start, at least.
The two are teaming together to present a women-only Belgian beer tasting, complete with chocolates, cheeses and other gastronomical delights.
You don't have to be a Walloon or Flemish, but you do have to be a woman to enjoy "Bodacious Belgians for Bitchin' Babes," a two-hour tasting that meanders between Belgium's two feuding regions pairing chocolates, cheese and other treats with some of Belgium's finest beers -- with Morrison leading the way.
"No politics will be discussed," Morrison said. "Here, we will speak Beer."
The event costs $30 per person and is slated for Saturday, Sept. 29 from 3 p.m.-5 p.m. at Purple Tooth Lounge, 938 N. Cook St. Reservations are encouraged. Call 503- 517-9931 for more details or to make reservations.
"Bodacious Belgians for Bitchin' Babes" promises to be a tasty journey to enjoy some of Belgium's most accessible and delightful beers. No kings allowed!

Beer. Chocolate. Cheese. Really, how can you resist? Hope to see you there!
Cheers,

Belgium In Unrest, But Beers Still Bodacious

Curse my male gender, this sounds like fun!
Ernie -- tell all your gal pals. I am sure they would be forever in your debt. Or at least buy you a bodacious Belgian after the tasting. :)
Cheers!
