Alberta Beer Festivals present Brew Ed. (POSTPONED UNTIL NOVEMBER)

Brewer's Apprentice, N3 448 8 Ave. S.E.

6:30 p.m.-9:30 p.m. each class

Registration: $165
Includes all four "classes" including beer and brewery tour. Registration can be bought as a gift to use in any month in 2022.

Alberta Beer Festivals has always been about beer education. In order to continue that practise, they have created Brew Ed. (formerly Beer School), a four-part course that will cover all aspects about beer. Intimidated by the number of beers available and would like to know more about different beer styles? Are you currently employed or thinking about working in the restaurant service or alcohol retail industry? Do you plan to take the Cicerone Certification Program or want to learn more about the Beer Judge Certification Program?
Intent on becoming a home brewer, but would like to know what varieties to brew? Or, simply, you just like beer and would like to know more about it? If you answered yes to any of the above, then Brew Ed is for you.

Each class of 10 people (maximum) will run approximately three hours and will cover a different topic such as the history of beer styles, how beer is made, and get up and personal with beer’s different ingredients. We will study beer’s characteristics and components, what makes a good beer, and even learn how to judge a beer. You’ll also learn a bit about beer packaging, glassware and home brewing. Lastly, we will also look at some food and beer pairings and talk about cooking with beer. Approximately a dozen beers will be sampled each class, so you’ll see and taste the difference between the different beer styles. The final class will be a “field trip” to one of Calgary’s breweries, where the “students” can see how beer is made first hand. And note: there will be NO final exam!In addition to learning about the world’s most popular alcoholic beverage in an educational yet fun “classroom” you will:
- Receive your own Growler
- Try some surprise beers
- Be eligible to judge and/or steward at Calgary International Beerfest in May 2023, which includes free admission to the show. Details will be explained in “class”.

So register for Calgary’s most comprehensive beer learning experience today, before all the spots fill up! The next session will begin in November 2022.

Note: You must be 18 years or older to register.Click here to see the Course Outline.

The 20th Annual Eric Francis Pizza Pigout

Cowboys Dancehall, 1088 Olympic Way S.E.

5:00 p.m.-8:30 p.m.

Tickets:
Early Bird General Admission - 5:30 p.m.: $35
VIP Ticket - 5:00 p.m.: $75
General Admisiion - 5:30 p.m.: $50

For a $50 ticket donation supporting KidSport Calgary and You Can Play, your ticket will include all you can eat pizza, drink specials, an opportunity to vote on ‘The People’s Choice Award’, and time to rub elbows with Calgary’s favourite celebrities!
VIP tickets are available for a $100 donation which include all of the above plus a collectors apron, start an hour earlier on sampling and exclusive time to mix & mingle with celebs.

The year was 1996 and a young Eric Francis was hungry. But was his standard, go-to pizzeria really offering up the best pie in town?
Surely there were better alternatives...but where? That night the Pizza Pigout was born. Why not invite every pizzeria and restaurant in town to offer up its three finest pizzas and enlist the services of local celebs like Jeff Garcia, Bret "The Hitman" Hart, Jarome Iginla, Lanny McDonald, Kelly Hrudey and even TV legend Buck Shot to help determine the very best of Mozza Moguls.
Over 140 pizzas showed up that first year at Dusty's and it, um, mushroomed from there, becoming the largest gathering of Calgary celebrities every year. What's more, the results are published in the Calgary Sun, giving Calgarians the definitive guide to ordering their next cheesy wheel.
Whether you’re showing off your shop’s best thin crust in the acclaimed competition for Calgary’s Best Pizza, or just out supporting your favorite neighborhood pizzeria/restaurant all proceeds will be donated directly to KidSport Calgary and You Can Play! Come out… and Pigout!
On Wednesday, October 16, join Eric Francis and Calgary's biggest A-Listers at the legendary Cowboys Dancehall to taste and judge 600 of the city's finest pizzerias! Every dime raised in this night of pizza, beer and general mayhem will go to support KidSport Calgary and You Can Play.
This seventeen year tradition is being amped up this year with twice as many pizzas, VIP judging packages, a 'Wall-of-Pizza' raffle with prizes such as flights for two anywhere that WestJet flies in North America!

The Causes
KidSport Calgary provides support to children, removing financial barriers that prevent them from playing organized sports. "We believe that no kid should be left on the sidelines and all should be given the opportunity to experience the positive benefits of organized sports." KidSport provides sport registration fee assistance and no cost equipment through their Calgary Flames Sports Bank, all with the goal of making it So ALL Kids Can Play!
