Asheville, NC, July 26th, 2017 --- Burial Beer Co. is launching a new event series
focused on conversations with Brewers and Brewery Owners that go beyond beer into
humanizing topics, offering candid experiences of industry members to attending craft
beer fans.
Off Topic, as the series is called, was inspired by the conversations that owner, Doug
Reiser, found himself constantly immersed in during collaboration with visiting
breweries.
“During collabs there is a lot of beer talk, but the conversations that always stick with me
are the ones that have nothing to do with beer. Those conversations are how we become
friends,” explains Reiser. “The goal of Off Topic is to humanize the artisans behind these
brands and beers while removing the barriers between those same people and their
consumers. It gives these people a chance to talk about their lives and not just beer. And
it’s really fun.”
To date, Off Topic events have featured the brewery’s label artist, David Paul Seymour
and Jonathan Wakefield of J. Wakefield Brewing. In the month of July Burial is slated
host TRVE Brewing from Denver, CO (Wednesday, July 5th at 6pm) and Other Half
Brewing from Brooklyn, NY (Sunday, July 9th at 3pm).
“We're all telling a story through beer,” explains Nick Nunns, proprietor of TRVE
Brewing. “Getting to know the people behind that story gives context for the beers they
choose to make. We draw a lot of inspiration for beer from the other facets of our life,
and that’s something we talk about a lot internally, but don’t often get to share with
people while having few beers with them.”
All Off Topic events are hosted at the brewery’s taproom in the South Slope of Asheville.
Tickets are $10 at the door and include a commemorative glass from the visiting brewery,
access to the talk, and beers to taste and share. For more information on upcoming Off
Topics visit https://www.instagram.com/burialbeer/ or
