Joshua M. Bernstein will celebrate his new book “Brewed Awakening: Behind the Beers and Brewers Leading the World’s Craft Brewing Revolution” at the Cascade Brewing Barrel House’s weekly Tap It Tuesday event on Tuesday, November 15 at 6 pm. The Cascade Brewing Barrel House is located at 939 SE Belmont St.
Josh will start the evening as the guest tapper at Tap It Tuesday, a weekly event at which a tap is driven into a live barrel of aging sour beer. He may be an expert on beer, but how good is he at tapping a barrel? According to Josh, “I’ll make sure to bring my poncho,” referencing the likelihood of what is known at Cascade as a “sour shower.” Josh will then reveal some stories and insights about the World’s Craft Brewing Revolution, while signing copies of the book (which retails for $24.95).
