During the tasting event, Haven Brewing will present all nine of its house-produced beers, including "Hello World," an American Pale Ale (6.3% ABV) that debuted in March 2012. Haven Brewmaster’s David Larsen will discuss the making of each house-crafted beer, and plans for distribution. Other beers available include upRYEsing ($2 taster); Hafen Hefe ($2 taster); Gross National Happiness ($2 taster); Diana Brown ($2 taster); Brewmaster's Breakfast ($2 taster); 100 Rubles ($3 taster or 10 oz pour for $6)
