On Thursday, May 16th, from 6:15 to 8:30 pm, Karl’s Sausage Kitchen and European Market will be hosting a beer tasting event at their new Peabody location. The guest speaker will be Internationally known beer expert and author Horst Dornbusch. He has written for several publications, including All About Beer, Brewers’ Guardian, The New Brewer, American Brewer, and Ale Street News. He is a regular columnist for BeerAdvocate.com, and he has given public speeches and held tastings internationally in venues large and small.
Mr. Dornbusch will present an entertaining lecture, “Ten (Dirty) Secrets of German Beer,” as participants sample seven distinct German beers, including Altbier, Kölsch, Märzen lager, Urbock and more. Authentic German tasting plates will be prepared in Karl’s Sausage Kitchen to be perfectly matched with the wide variety of beer served. Mr. Dornbusch will highlight different beer varieties and explain to the participants why certain beers pair well with different foods, along with touching on the vast history of brew crafts.
Of the event, Mr. Dornbusch said “The guided pairing of German beer and food presented is a perfect choice. It showcases Karl’s Sausage Kitchen’s key strengths: a broad and authentic selection of both German beer and German delicatessen. I am happy to bring the relationship between the two to life in both theory and practice, by serving and explaining the characteristics of very different German beer styles, each matched with contrasting or complementary food”
Karl’s Sausage Kitchen & European Market is well known throughout New England for its authentic, old-world European sausages, cold cuts and smoked meats, made on the premises with the finest meats and spices. They also stock imported products jams, jellies, chocolates, cheeses, pickles, cookies and bread in their grocery. The move to the larger Peabody facility has enabled owners Anita and Robert Gokey to add a European Café, where customers can now enjoy sandwiches, grilled sausages, traditional German fare and imported beer and wine before stocking up on meats and imported goods to take home.
