Atlas Oyster House is proud to present the next installment of Atlas Beverage Classes (A.B.C.). This semester we will be focusing on breweries, wineries and distilleries, discovering what is going on in the beverage world. In addition to the beverage tastings, we will feature small plates paired with each beverage, as prepared by Executive Chef, Jason Hughes.
A.B.C. will be held outside, on the Harbor View Deck, the first Thursday of the month (January through June) and will feature a local presenter discussing the highlighted beverages. Classes will consist of four tastings of beverages with four small plates to complement each tasting. Classes will cover the basics as well as specific information regarding the history of the brewery/winery/distillery and their beers, wines, or spirits. All beverages will be announced two weeks prior to the event.
There are two classes every month, each an hour and a half long. The first class begins promptly at 5:00 p.m. with the second class beginning at 7:00 p.m. Class cost is $30 per person (plus tax and gratuity), per class, which gets each participant one tasting of each of the featured beverages. In addition, throughout the class, participants should be prepared for “pop quizzes,” where we will be giving away T-shirts, beer glassware, gift certificates and more. Seating is limited, reservations are required; be sure to make yours by emailing taylor@goodgrits.com or calling 850-287-0200. The featured themes for each class are as follows:
February 6: Ology Brewing
Ology’s journey began with the passion for craft beer. Growing up surrounded by science and experimentation, Nick Walker, Head Brewer, developed a keen interest in the world of sensory research, particularly in taste and smell. This fascination, combined with his love for creating food in the kitchen, sparked his venture into home brewing, where he discovered his true passion for crafting exceptional beverages. In collaboration with his longtime friends, Paul Woodward and Brian Clark, Ology took its first steps in June 2017. Their shared enthusiasm for crafting fine liquors, coffee, and a diverse range of beers, from Hazy IPAs to BA stouts, lagers, fruited sours, and unique rums, laid the foundation for what Ology is today.
