Looking for a unique location for your next business meeting? If you’re a premium beer lover, be sure to check out the Oland Specialty Beer Institute, a Specialty Beer Company related to Labatt Brewing Company.
Located in Yaletown, the Institute primarily acts as a
training facility that provides bar and restaurant
proprietors and their bartenders, servers and
chefs with an opportunity to learn about
specialty beers from the experts.
Each month there is an opportunity for a
professional or corporate group to experience a
taste of the liquor licensee and retailer training
that is delivered to industry staff at the Institute.
There is a classroom / meeting room where your
group can hold a meeting for one or two hours
in advance of the beer training. The optimal
number of attendees would be 20 to 25.
Afterwards, your group can sample, while
learning about, some of the world’s finest beers
during the Premium Beer Experience.
Topics covered in the Premium Beer
Experience touch on the History of Beer, Basics
of Brewing, Beer & Food Pairing, Glassware
handling and the very special Ten Step Belgian
Pouring Ritual.
As a training institute, the facility’s 40-foot
long mahogany bar is used to demonstrate
proper dispensing and serving methods for
draught beer. Each section of the bar features
some of the world’s most famous beers, from
Bass Pale Ale and Boddingtons in the U.K., to
Stella Artois and Hoegaarden in Belgium and in
North America, Nova Scotia’s Alexander Keith’s
India Pale Ale. The model boutique retail store
showcases the latest in retail merchandising and
display for the premium beer category.
Oland Specialty Beer Company is dedicated
to brewing heritage, authenticity, quality and
craftsmanship.
