How to Throw an Organic Beer Tasting Party

If it seems that you've been attending an indistinguishable parade of dinner parties week after week, and it's getting tedious, perhaps it's time to spice up the format. Same goes for company holiday parties-really, O esteemed Regional Manager, you're booking the same room at the same bar for the seventh year in a row?

How about throwing a little green flair into the proceedings-try an organic beer tasting party. I must say at this point that this idea did not materialize in my mind as the laws of motion did for Newton, genius though I may be. No, I got the idea from attending an Organic Oktoberfest at the excellent vegan restaurant Counter in New York City. The event gave me some ideas about what it would take to throw an organic beer tasting party in your own home-or even at that same ol' bar for the annual office party.
