Uptown event coming May 10! Speciation Ales and Louise Earl Butcher are joining forces, yet again, to bring you a unique opportunity to get a behind-the-scenes look at what both businesses do best.

You'll meet at Speciation on Wealthy Street, where Jane, Mitch, and the Speciation crew will show you around their brewing and production facility, give some background knowledge on natural fermentation, and walk you through a flight of their favorite pours. A charcuterie board provided by Louise Earl Butcher will also be available for noshing.

After wrapping up at Speciation, the group will stroll up Wealthy a couple of blocks to Louise Earl Butcher, where Matt, Cyndi, and some of their staff will show you around the shop, and give some insight into their operation. We'll wrap-up the evening with a main course and dessert provided by Chef Billy Wood, with pairings from Speciation.
