This one is different. A deep dive into one of Europe’s most underrated craft scenes. Together with IC Der Laden, we’re hosting a special tasting focused on Bulgarian craft beer and cider - with bottles you won’t find in Switzerland… and in some cases not even in Bulgaria. What to expect 🍾 3 bottles from Holy Forest Blendery - Wild ales & a cider - complex, experimental and extremely limited (with Bulgarian fruit). (Not available for purchase, even locally) 🍺 2 beers from Sofia Electric Brewing - Clean, modern and seriously well executed A guided tasting with context, background and honest discussion about a scene that’s still flying under the radar. And because one of the Holy Forest bottles didn’t survive the trip back to Switzerland, we’ll finish the evening with a few small bonus pours from our personal Balkan beer cellar. 6 drinks. 2 hours. Max 10 people. Details: 📅 Date: Friday, May 22 📍 Where: IC Der Laden, Zurich ⏰ Time: 18:00 🎟 Limited to 10 seats 💰Price: 85 CHF pp 🗣 Language: English (German translation possible) Spots are limited. **\*To secure your spot, please [book here](https://www.swissbeertours.com/service-page/bulgaria-beer-tasting-ic-der-laden?referral=service_list_widget).\***

This is "***New Members Night***." If you are one of the many folks on the fence about coming to your first wine tasting with the *Hilliard Wine Club*, this is the night to come. There will be many other new people, so you won't be alone. And the regulars will be there to help make you feel welcome. We're a relaxed and warm group. We hope to see you. **SIDE NOTE:** New members are welcome to ALL our Friday night wine tastings, but this night is a special overture to those who don't want to feel that they are the only new person in the room. Don't worry. You won't be. And don't hesitate to RSVP to other events. **OLD MEMBERS NOTE**: Hey Old Members! You're not excluded from this event. We expect to see you there to help make the new members feel welcome. **Sample 4 different wines** this Friday for $15 (*Cash or Venmo only please*). Glasses are provided. Bring a snack to share. Bring a bottle to share if you care to. See all the details below for the Hilliard Wine Club Wine Tasting. In Person. In Real Life. Actual Wine from glass bottles with corks and everything. **Wine**: Tastings will be $15 for four samples as always. And you are welcome to bring a bottle of your favorite wine to share with others. Participation in the wine tastings is optional. But since you’re going, I will buy enough wine to cover you. If you bring your own wine and do not participate in the tasting you will only pay $10 to cover the door charge. **Parking**: There are several public parking lots near the Alive614 hall. Please be careful to NOT park in private parking lots. They do tow. Check Google maps to scope out your space. Anyone who is early could easily find a parking space on the street nearby. **Glasses**: …will be provided. Please note that after the wine tasting, the glasses need to be returned to the boxes at the service table. Please be gentle, our glasses are fragile. Uh, they are made of glass! **Food**: You are welcome to bring a snack to share. It is not required. Most people do though. If no one brings anything, there will be nothing. **Code of Conduct**: Though mostly understood, it’s still worth mentioning. We don’t have rules per se, but we highly discourage the following topics of discussion because they are likely to incite anti-social responses - Sex, Politics, Religion. Please don’t mistake this as an attempt to limit your free speech rights but rather a guide to a place and time for appropriate discussions. **Extra Wine**: After everyone has had their samples, we remove the pouring spouts and any remaining wine is poured freely to whomever wants it. I hate having leftover wine. **Queen of Hearts**: The Queen of Hearts raffle is a fundraiser for the club and a Barnum and Bailey type extravaganza - minus the dancing ponies, clowns, and actual circus. Bring your ***cash*** as the Queen does not accept American Express or other plastic. **After the lights go out**: After the last sip of wine, when we clean up and turn the lights out, if you still haven’t had enough of us, it is typical for a group to get together and go to a local eatery for food and/or drinks or coffee. Again, We look forward to meeting new members and reuniting with old friends. Sincerely, ***Paul Uttermohlen***, **Red 1 Realty** *Your Hilliard Wine Club Host*

**Due to a scheduling conflict at 614Alive, we are being bumped. We will reschedule Karaoke to next week and simply have a Freestyle night at Nick's house this week.

If no one brings anything, there will be nothing. **Code of Conduct**: Though mostly understood, it’s still worth mentioning.
