Beer is the oldest alcoholic beverage in human history, as such, it deserves our respect. Beerchus is P&S’s Beer Appreciation Club. Twice per semester, we hold tastings celebrating ales, porters, lagers, and lambics- and we have a great time doing it. Each tasting features an informative slide show explaining the story of a given beer, why it tastes the way it does, and why it is special. Themes this past year have included: “Beers of the WWII Allied Powers,” “The American Microbrew,” and “German and Belgian Beers That You Really Ought to Know.” We explore the science of beer as well as the history of beer in culture and society and educate members on how to properly taste and savor a brew. We are a relatively new club and we always welcome new ideas on tasting themes, events, or fund raisers.
