MateVeza Yerba Mate Ale

MateVeza & Friends

Would like to thank all of you who attended Super Beerunch, a beer and food pairing brunch featuring MateVeza and other morning-friendly brews.

The gods smiled upon the novel idea of beer and food in the morning, providing us with beautiful days in both San Francisco and Oakland. We hope that the feats of flavor bestowed upon you by the world’s most versatile beverage left you as gleefully giddy as we are. And remember, folks, DO try this at home!

For those of you who were unable to attend, we thought we’d put together a few highlights for your viewing pleasure. But despair not! For this is but one of many Beerunches to come - like this Saturday in Sacramento…

Date: Tuesday, February 9, 2010
Time: 8:00pm - 10:00pm
Location: England (K&D Liquors) and India (Pakwan Indian Restaurant)
Street: 16th St at Guerrero St
City/Town: San Francisco, CA

In honor of San Francisco Beer Week, join MateVeza on February 9th as we celebrate the true origin of one of history’s most revered beverages - the India Pale Ale.

India Pale Ales evolved from English Pale Ales during the 18th century. English traders and soldiers traveling to India needed a heartier Pale Ale to withstand the long journey to India, so they increased the hops and the alcohol. They figured that they could just add water once it got there, but once they tasted their new burly brew, there was no going back.

Join us in reenacting the original voyage of India Pale Ale as we embark from K&D Liquors (England) across 16th St (the Atlantic / Indian Ocean) to Pakwan Indian Restaurant (India). Arrive at K&D Liquors (3177 16th Street) to purchase a specially priced MateVeza IPA. Then join fellow shipmates for a ferry across the treacherous seas of 16th Street. Pakwan is BYOB so you can celebrate your scurvy-free journey by cracking open a MateVeza IPA to enjoy with your Indian feast (it pairs amazingly well with Indian food).

And don’t worry - we won’t make you add water to your beer when you get there.
